The tiny village of Tamborim lies between Varca Beach and Cavelossim in South Goa, and offers an idyllic base for a quiet beach holiday.

There are also marshlands and wetlands in the resort, home to a wide variety of exotic birds.

 

Tamborim - Quiet alternative to the busier resorts in North 

South Goa is known for its sleepy pace, and offers a quieter alternative to the vibrant scene in the north. This tranquil village is ideal for those looking for a peaceful rustic base, with a friendly welcoming atmosphere. The secluded beach is a stunning stretch of golden sands set amongst a lush natural landscape, and the warm waters of the Arabian Sea mean great conditions for relaxing swimming. Tamborim is home to family-run guesthouses, bed-and-breakfasts and small hotels, many with swimming pools and surrounded by lush green gardens. The town centre has an authentic village feel, with farm animals running around, and local townspeople going about their daily business, such as collecting water from the well.        

 

Whilst in Tamborim, guests can enjoy swimming and cycling, as well as sunbathing on the beach, with bird-watching tours, dolphin-watching trips, and excursions to local spice plantations available. Other resorts in the area include Cavelossim, Colva, Varca and Mobor, which offer a livelier scene, with plenty of activities and water sports.
