WIN A WEEK IN GOA WORTH EUR2,000

(Sunday Mirror Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge)HOMES & Holidays has teamed up with Direct Holidays so that one lucky reader and a friend can win a weeklong holiday to Goa worth more than EUR2,000 in our great competition.

A former Portuguese colony, Goa has a very different feel from the rest of India with beautiful beaches where you can soak up the sunshine. Plus you'll be hard placed to find a warmer welcome anywhere else in the world.

New for winter 2006/7, Direct Holidays is featuring the resorts of Palolem Beach and Varca Beach in the south of Goa. Palolem Beach - also known as Paradise Beach - has a one-mile stretch of soft white sand backed by beach shacks, cafes and bars, while the golden coastline of Varca Beach is bordered by coconut groves.

Our lucky winners will be staying seven nights at the Intercontinental Grand Resort on Palolem Beach. The hotel is set in landscaped gardens. Relax by the pool and outdoor jacuzzi or, if you feel more active, play squash, tennis or tackle the nine-hole golf course.

Or you can just chill out on that paradise beach!
