A closer look at the journey ahead..

This 24th of June, join us poolside at Caravela Beach Resort for a vibrant celebration of Sao Joao, Goa’s beloved monsoon festival, brought to life by Caravela and Soul Travelling. The afternoon begins at 3:30 PM with a warm, musical welcome near the reception, where a friendly ambassador in a colourful shirt and the rhythm of a Ghumot set the vibe for the afternoon. Guests will then move to an open space to handcraft their own Kopels, floral crowns that are a symbol of this joyous occasion. With Kopels in place, we celebrate with traditional music and dance together as we make our way to a cross near the beach, where a short prayer is offered and a celebratory toast is shared. From there, the celebration dives straight into fun literally with a refreshing pool session featuring playful games, as fruit platters are passed around for all to enjoy. After that, we gather once again at the hotel’s restaurant space, where delicious Goan snacks, tea or coffee, and live music await. As the music continues, guests are invited to create their own feni cocktails at a specially curated grazing table, every sip a celebration of Goa’s spirited culture. This immersive and joyful experience is open to all age groups, blending age-old traditions with contemporary fun in true Goan style. ▪ Date & Time: 24.06.2025 , 3:30pm onwards ▪ Venue: Poolside, Caravela Beach Resort ▪ Organizers/Hosts: Caravela Beach Resort & Soul Travelling Itinerary: ▪ Arrival & Welcome: Meet us near the main entrance with live music and warm smiles. ▪ Kopel Making: Create your own festive floral crown with the group. ▪ Procession to the Cross: Dance your way to the Cross with live Ghumot beats, say a small prayer, and toast with feni – Viva Sao Joao! ▪ Pool Time: Head back to the pool for a splash, games, and fresh fruits. ▪ Snacks & Music: After changing, gather around for snacks, Goan music, and chai. ▪ Feni Cocktail Session: Try your hand at mixing your own feni cocktail at our cocktail grazing table. ▪ Sing & Dance: Let loose with music, dancing, and happy vibes!
