As summer vacations begin, families everywhere start planning their annual getaways. For corporate workers, there may be no official break, but summer is often the only time to take a proper trip with the kids, as schools have a longer break. Goa in May remains a popular choice, with its long-stretched beaches offering everything from water sports and beach games to parties and coastal adventures. However, with rising temperatures and more frequent weather extremes, you might wonder, when’s the right time to visit Goa?
But if you and your family love the beaches, there is no better place to explore and have fun than the versatility of Goa. If you rent a villa in Goa, you can have a memorable vacation, with easy access to all modern amenities and beachside views. Still not too sure? Let this article help you out.
Goa Weather in May
Along the coastal belt, it is no longer rare for temperatures to surpass 35 degrees or even reach beyond 40. The severity of the sun may not be ideal for taking an outdoor trip, especially if you’re travelling with infants and toddlers.
As per the AccuWeather forecast, Goa in May will be hot and humid. The average temperature ranges between 33 and 37 degrees. However, in the evenings, they suggest a pleasant 27 to 28 degrees throughout the month.
Towards the later part of the month, with pre-monsoon weather conditions, you can experience more windy days by the shore. So it may be a good idea to visit Goa in May, just before the month ends.
Should I Plan a Visit to Goa in May?
If you’re planning a trip to Goa in May, make it with a do-nothing, only relaxing agenda. Since the daytime temperatures are high, don’t plan for too many sightseeing or explorations during the day. Book a villa instead of a hotel so you can enjoy the exclusivity and don’t feel restricted to a room all day long.
When you rent a private villa in Goa, you get all-day access to the poolside, play in the shaded gazebos, arrange picnics on the lawns and simply enjoy the beautiful homes as your own. Many villas by the beach will let you soak in the coastal vibes, even without stepping out of the premises. By the evening, you can step out for a walk on the beach, the kids can make sand castles while you enjoy nature’s show of a sunset on the horizon.
If you’re keen on activities, you can look for some fun things to do in Goa with your children. It could be painting workshops at a cafe or pasta making within the villa you’re staying at. Didn’t think it was possible? Book with Lohono Stays’ and we can arrange for several such experiences. Let your kids host a picnic around the gazebo in the lawn while you are their guest. Our chefs can help them with sandwiches and juices as the kids play their part in this fun activity.
Save your church visits and flea market strolls for the evening, when the weather is cooler and more pleasant. You can step out in the evening, enjoy a drink and snacks by the shore and get back to movie nights or indoor parties in the villa.
Trust us, you will enjoy a summer vacation in Goa more if you have a private abode to unwind at, rather than a hotel brimming with other tourists and shared amenities.
