- Divar Island, located on the Mandovi River in Goa, is a haven of tranquility, renowned for its serene atmosphere, rich history, and natural beauty. Unlike Goa's bustling tourist spots, Divar has remained relatively untouched by commercialization, offering visitors a glimpse of the authentic Goan lifestyle. The island is accessible only by ferry, with routes from Ribandar, Old Goa, and Narve, reinforcing its secluded charm.
The landscape of Divar is dominated by expansive paddy fields, lush greenery, and swaying coconut trees, all framed by the sparkling waters of the Mandovi River. As you wander through the narrow village lanes, you'll encounter colorful Portuguese-style houses adorned with vibrant bougainvillea, churches dating back centuries, and temples nestled amid the greenery.
Divar is also home to unique festivals like Bonderam and Potekar. Bonderam, celebrated in August, is a colorful festival featuring parades and mock battles, evoking a sense of community spirit and local history. Potekar, on the other hand, is a fun-filled festival where locals dress as ghosts and monsters to scare children, much like Halloween. Both festivals are deeply rooted in Goan culture, offering an immersive experience into the island's traditions.
Accommodation on Divar ranges from charming homestays to luxurious riverfront resorts like the Mercure Goa Devaaya Retreat. Staying on the island offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in Goan culture, where mornings begin with the sound of birds and the scent of fresh local dishes wafting from nearby kitchens
Whether you’re interested in exploring its history, indulging in Goan cuisine, or simply seeking a peaceful retreat in nature, Divar Island offers a slow-paced yet enriching experience, showcasing the quiet beauty of Goa’s less-traveled paths.
