Eating and staying in Goa
4,545 cafés, restaurants, bars, hotels and motels across 374 towns and suburbs in Goa.
Goa accounts for 6% of every venue we hold in New Zealand, which makes it the 5th-largest of the 36 regions by venue count. Those 4,545 venues sit across 374 named towns and suburbs, of which 22 carry at least 40 venues and get a page of their own.
Distribution inside the region is relatively even: Calangute (303), Arambol (229) and Panaji (214) hold 16% of everything between them. The remaining 352 places average 5.9 venues each — a long tail of small settlements that we list on the nearest town page rather than give an empty page to.
The regional split runs 68% eating to 33% accommodation, against a national 66/34. That is close to the national balance.
505 venues in Goa carry a cuisine tag. Measured against the national mix, the region over-indexes on goan (10), russian (15) and oriental (4).
Data quality varies by region and it is worth knowing where this one stands: 285 venues here publish opening hours (6% against 8% nationally), 460 list a website, and 98 record step-free access. Everything on this site comes from open data, so coverage reflects what mappers and councils have published — not what exists on the ground.
