The golden expanse of nature's best blessings: The island of Diu is the blissful confluence of silver sands and the golden sun.

It’s replete with majestic beaches, whitewashed fishing cottages and excellent roads for you to ride along the coast with the wind blowing in your hair.

The majestic sentinel overlooking the sea: Offering a kaleidoscopic view of Diu, the majestic Portuguese fort with its double moat was built in 1535 as a defence alliance forged between Bahadur Shah and the Portuguese when the Mughal Emperor, Humayun, waged war to annex this territory. Flaunting an array of cannons, the ramparts of this magnificent fort stand testimony to its once impregnable stature. Skirted by the sea on three sides, a magnificent lighthouse stands on the fort.

A melange of architectural brilliance and incomparable faith Located in the city of Diu, the more than 400 years old St. Paul’s Church, is a major tourist attraction.

It is the largest functioning church in Diu catering to the small Christian community of about 250 persons.
