Three nights is enough for Goa if you do not try to see both coasts. This stays in the south, which is the half that rewards a short stay, and keeps the driving to two half-days.
One excursion a day, the rest of the time on the beach. That ratio is deliberate.
Highlights
- One base, no repacking
- A sunset cruise on the Sal
- Spice plantation and a Goan thali
- One excursion a day, and no more
