Eight days that move from Mumbai’s harbour-facing icons to Goa’s softer coastal rhythm, then further south into beaches that feel less performed and more real. Expect a few high-signal anchors—Elephanta’s sculpture, a sunset sail, a coastal trail—surrounded by space to swim, read, reset, and actually settle into each place. It’s off the usual circuit without chasing adrenaline, with the trip shaped around comfort, timing, and unforced days.
