Getting Here
By Air
Goa is connected several times a day by air from Bombay, Delhi, Hyderabad, Calcutta, Bangalore, Madras, Cochin, Calicut. Internationally you can fly on scheduled airlines from Dubai, Kuwait, Colombo. During the season, there are several weekly flights from the UK, Switzerland, Holland and Scandinavia. The following Airlines fly to Goa. New routes keep getting added so it’s best to get on to their websites to see where they fly to or from.
Spice Jet
Kingfisher Airlines
Go Air
Jet Airways
Jetlite
Indigo
Indian Airlines
From the UK, your travel agent should be able to get you intercontinental fares, and may also be able to buy your domestic tickets, but its cheaper to buy online from the above low cost airlines.
By Train
With the new Konkan Railway line recently completed, this is another exciting way to get to Goa and go beyond towards the south. There is the Rajdhani Express (26 hrs) that operates only on Saturdays and Sundays and one more daily train (a bit slower) from Delhi to Goa, and the overnight Konkan Express daily from Bombay. From Cochin there is the daily Netravati Express and the Rajkot-Trivandrum Express.
Unfortunately, although the countryside it passes through is spectacular and some say the construction of the line was a marvel of engineering, the trains are regularly late.
Anyway if you do choose this means, then best is to get off at Tivim station, if the train stops there (the Rajdhani does not). From there the property is only 30 minutes drive. Otherwise you will have to go 45' further to Margao.

By Road
You can also come by road, though I would not recommend that (17 hours by bus from Bombay to Goa).
Obviously the best means of transport from the Airport or Station is by car. If you let us know in advance of your plans we will have you picked up. From the Airport it should cost you around Rs. 750, from Tivim Rs. 350, and from Margao station around Rs. 800.
