With its clean white sand that stretches for kilometres, soft blue waves and pink-hued sunsets, Majorda Beach has been touted as one of the most romantic beaches in Goa.

With the sound of the waves gently crashing on the shore and the hippie vibe of Goa adding to the mood, there’s no way your partner can refuse your super romantic proposal here.
