South Goa moves at its own pace. Compared to the energetic buzz of the north, this part of Goa is all about wide beaches, quiet roads, and an easygoing rhythm that makes you want to slow down. Whether you’re here for the sea, the food, or just the calm, there’s a lot to see and enjoy — all without the crowds. If you’re staying at Azalea by Stone Wood Premier in Carmona, you’re already in a lovely spot to explore the area. The resort is just minutes away from some of South Goa’s most peaceful beaches and scenic drives, making it a great base for your trip.
1. Zalor Beach
Just a short walk or drive from the resort, Zalor Beach is clean, peaceful, and rarely crowded. You can take long walks along the shore, watch the waves roll in, or simply sit back and enjoy the stillness. It's a good spot for those who want beach time without the noise or beachside rush.
2. Benaulim & Colva Beaches
These two beaches are slightly livelier but still carry South Goa’s relaxed charm. You’ll find small shacks serving Goan food, sunset views, and calm waters. Colva Beach in particular offers water activities like jet ski rides and parachute gliding for those looking to add a bit of adventure to their day.
3. Cabo de Rama Fort
This old Portuguese fort offers sweeping views of the Arabian Sea and is one of the less-commercialised spots in Goa. It’s quiet, breezy, and a lovely place to spend a peaceful hour, especially during golden hour. You can walk along the old stone walls, watch the waves crash against the cliffs below, and enjoy a bit of history.
4. Chandor Village
If you’re interested in Goa’s Portuguese past, a visit to Chandor is worth your time. The village is known for its colonial-era mansions and heritage homes. Guided tours often take you through old houses filled with antique furniture and family stories.
5. Churches and Temples Around South Goa
South Goa has its own quiet blend of spiritual spaces, old churches, peaceful temples nestled among coconut trees, and roadside chapels that give the area its unique charm. Whether you’re stepping inside for a moment of stillness or just admiring the architecture, these places add a thoughtful pause to your journey through the region.
6. River Sal Backwaters
For something a little different, the backwaters of River Sal offer a slower, more peaceful side of South Goa. Just a short drive from the coast, this area is known for its calm waters, green banks, and the soft sounds of nature all around. It’s a great way to spend an afternoon, especially if you’re looking for a quiet escape from the beach crowds.
