My Uncle is managing a resort ( Karma Resort )
I am hoping to visit by end next year, as it looks so beautiful.

This is the blurb about the resort:
Pearl of the Orient
The 131-kilometre-long State of Goa is located in Western India on the golden Konkan coast, bounded by the States of Maharashtra and Karnataka. Lapped by the waters of the Arabian Sea, with some of the prettiest natural scenery that India has to offer, Goa runs in almost a straight, uninterrupted line, broken only by the outlets of the State’s seven rivers. This small former Portuguese enclave, renowned for its wonderful sandy beaches and for the relaxed friendliness of its people, is one of India’s most popular tourist destinations, both for the domestic and the international traveller.
Goa has a soul that goes deep into its history. From 1510 to 1961, the region was controlled by Portugal as a base for spice merchants and Christian missionaries. Over the centuries, therefore, this colourful Indian region became home to one of the world’s most unique confluences of cultures. The name Goa is derived from the Konkani word `Goyan’, which means a patch of tall grass.
