Best Holi Getaways In India 2026: Where To Celebrate The Festival Of Colours This Year

There is a version of Holi that involves waking up early, stepping outside, and immediately getting ambushed by your neighbour's eight-year-old with a water gun. It is chaotic and joyful and very, very wet, and most people love it. But there is another version of Holi that a growing number of Indians are quietly choosing instead: the kind where you pack a bag, leave the city behind, and celebrate the festival somewhere that makes the whole thing feel like an occasion rather than a survival story. A heritage hotel in Rajasthan, a beach resort in Goa, a quiet hill station in the Himalayas, India has no shortage of places that do Holi beautifully, and this year, the only question worth asking is where you want to be when the colours fly.
