This beach shack has been rocking Goa's nightlife scene for nearly 40 years. By day, it's a laid-back hangout, but when night falls, it turns into a happening party hub with DJs from around the world spinning everything from techno-trance to blues. It's right on the Anjuna beach stretch near the flea-market grounds, and also offers comfy accommodations for those who want to keep the vibe going.
At the south end of Anjuna, Curlies is something of an institution, with electronic music parties in season. With a great sea view and a basic menu, this is an essential pit stop for anyone who wants to sample the hard-partying side of Goa.
This lively spot on the cliffs of Anjuna channels a Santorini vibe, with its blue-and-white color scheme, feel-good music, and an ocean view that's hard to beat. The cocktails are delicious---try the eponymous Purple Martini---and the clientele is trendy, with an occasional celebrity in attendance. Come early for sundowners, as the tables by the edge fill up quickly.
