This beautiful Airbnb home is the perfect place to sit back and enjoy with a glass of wine and some soothing music. Singer Lisa Mishra spent her New Year at this villa, and said, "I am so glad to have ended 2020 on a happy note by booking myself a much-needed vacation in Goa. I have been able to spend the last few days of the year either relaxing in the garden of the villa or exploring the neighborhood and celebrated New Year's Eve in the best way possible. This Goa vacation definitely tops my list of 2020 memories."
While the villa has all that you could need for your vacation, it is also strategically located with the best of Goa at your doorstep — discover brunch at Mojigao, Prana Cafe, or Baba au Rhum, vegan food at BeanMeUp. In the evening, head to Sublime, Mahe, or Thalassa, which are at a drivable distance for the perfect meal. Alternatively, you can take a round of the local markets and make yourself a gourmet meal in the large fully equipped kitchen and enjoy it at the alfresco dining area the villa offers. Perfect for a getaway to Goa, we'd say so!

Not every trip requires tackling flight tickets, visas, and itineraries. Sometimes, it can just mean getting into a car with your best buddies and driving off for a quick getaway to a nearby destination. Celebrated photographer Rohan Shreshta chose to celebrate the New Year by going on a road trip to Karjat.
Translating to the white house, Casa Blanca is a property that exudes class. White inside and out with multiple hangout spots to chill with friends, the house has loads to offer. This home has a vintage bar and a dance floor for those looking to celebrate. Guests can also enjoy a swim in the pool or a game of cricket on the sprawling acre-long lawn.
Reminiscing about his New Year trip, Photographer Rohan Shrestha said, "The end of the year is my favorite time as it is a great opportunity to relax and reminisce about the year gone by. This year I decided to end the year on a memorable note by driving just a few hours away from Mumbai to Karjat for a quick getaway. I've spent the last few days enjoying barbecues and bonfires at a luxurious Airbnb villa. My short road trip has left me rejuvenated and all pumped to welcome 2021."
