3 Days in Agonda for a Romantic Getaway
Agonda is the perfect spot for couples looking to unwind in a quiet, beautiful setting. With its long stretch of soft sand, swaying palms, and laid-back vibe, it’s ideal for long walks, lazy beach days, and intimate dinners by the sea. I’ve spent many evenings here watching the sun dip into the Arabian Ocean, and it never gets old.
