Beach Parties from Sinquerim to Baga

Explore all the beach shack parties from Sinquerim beach to Baga beach. It’s one long stretch of sand and sea, and you can witness the unique New Year’s Eve parties here. At some points, you’ll see a massive crowd of people, and at others, you’ll feel like you’ve landed in a remote corner of Goa. The beauty of partying like this is that you don’t have to dress up. Just don your beach gear, put on some comfortable shoes, and get ready to dance the night away on the beaches of Goa.

You can also head to a club like Club Cubana or LPK Waterfront for a taste of the Goan nightlife on the best night of the year.

A Crazy December 31st at Leopard Valley, Palolem

If the conventional clubs and shacks get too much for you, find your way to Leopard Valley in Palolem. A club with 3D laser light shows, pyrotechnics and a 7-meter high DJ stage which pumps out high-quality music until the wee hours of the morning is what you’ll get here. It’s an open-air club which is a novelty for most of us. The crazy visuals, paired with amazing music, will make for a more than memorable New Year’s Eve.

Try Your Luck at the Casinos

Casinos, and their ability to attract thousands of tourists every year have made Goa the Vegas of India. You don’t need to shell out your entire life’s savings to travel across the seas to Vegas. You can have the same experience in Goa. Go to a casino and try your luck there.
