Shopping

Goa has a unique selection of Western/Indian markets as well as authentic local town markets whilst every season sees the arrival of more boutique and designer outlets.

Mapusa market
This is the market hub of North Goa situated on the nexus of all overland routes and its proximity to the Mapusa River which have helped the town develop into a thriving commercial center. The main market area is packed with charm and colour and is most popular on Fridays

Margao market
The vaste covered market in the center of Margao, the second city of Goa, makes a great afternoon trip into the unknown.

Anjuna flea market
The must do on a Wednesday. This was the first hippy market which has mushroomed from a couple of freaks selling paraphernalia on a porch in the 60s. Today you’ll find anything and everything brought in from all over the country and abroad. There’s a mix of foreigners, Goans, Banjara and Kashmiries all plying their trade.

Ingo’s Saturday Nite Market
Goa decends on Arpora every Saturday night. Ingo has created a shopping mecca and cultural melting pot. All from the above can be found here along with live music performance and an infinite array of multi cuisine food stalls. The best place to meet and check out what’s ‘happening’.

Sangolda
Goa’s chicest shop is owned by Claudia and Hari Ajwani, of the exclusive Hotel Nilaya. This is the place for the most stunning interior pieces selected from around India.

Wendell Rodricks
You will find this fashion guru’s spare casual wear throughout the store.
