Anjuna Village

Overview for Anjuna Village:

Anjuna, a beautiful beach village in North Goa, has grown from a quiet hippie paradise of the 1960s to one of Goa’s most happening spots today. This place still keeps its old-world charm with narrow lanes, Portuguese houses, and coconut trees everywhere you look. The village gets its name from the Persian word “Anjuman,” meaning a meeting place.

If you’re planning to book Goa Tour Packages, Anjuna should definitely be on your list. The village is famous for its Wednesday flea market, where you can buy typical goan floral clothes and handmade jewelry. The beach itself is rocky in some parts but has soft sand in others, making it perfect for both sunsets watching and swimming. Anjuna is special because of how it manages to be both relaxing and exciting – you can chill at a beach shack during the day and party at famous clubs like Club Cubana at night.
