4 Great places to celebrate Father’s Day with your dad in Goa

This year, Father’s Day is on Sunday, June 15, so take a break from all the gadgets, shirts and ties, and take your dad out for a universal love language treat — food! And, what better way to celebrate the sacrifices our dads have done for us than with a leisurely, indulgent brunch?

Our dads have been there for us through the bad times — a guiding light, a supporting hand through thick and thin. While they might put on a brave face and sound tough, a little care and affection can go a long way.

As Goa’s vibrant dining scene thrives, many hotels are rolling out special Father’s Day brunches. Here’s a curated list of resorts offering special brunches to honour the man of the day.
