Diu

A quiet Portuguese-era island on the Arabian Sea

About Diu

This laid-back island off Gujarat's Saurashtra coast still carries its Portuguese-colonial past in whitewashed churches and a sturdy sea fort. With calmer beaches, fresh seafood and easy availability of alcohol, Diu makes for a relaxed weekend break, often paired with wildlife spotting at nearby Gir.
