Champagne Poppin’ & Bar Hopping

We hope you enjoyed exploring our list of some of the best clubs in North Goa. Baga’s Tito’s Lane, the Vagator-Anjuna stretch and Panjim’s Fontainhas remain the top zones for back-to-back nights out in Goa. We suggest booking tables early for Christmas week and New Year’s Eve because these clubs sell out fast, as everyone is looking to pop the champagne and celebrate in style. Also, remember that dress codes are strict at the bigger venues, so leave your sandy flip-flops at the hotel.

Finally, if you plan your bar-hopping route well and keep some taxi numbers handy for a safe ride home, you are sure to make the most of the nightlife in Goa. Alternatively, if you want to indulge in retail therapy or relax, there are plenty of nearby attractions and facilities at Marquis Beach Resort to keep you entertained.
