Majorda is one of the smaller developed beaches of Goa, albeit the whole area possesses a lot of character, with small fishing villages scattered around palm groves. This South Goa beach area is the site of three spacious deluxe Goa hotel resorts, quite popular with those on a Goa holiday package tour. To its north are two other small beaches; Arossim, which is its deserted northern end, and Utorda, ten minutes walk further north. The resorts, along with the lack of any typically cheap Goa accommodation makes the area relatively exclusive.

The villages in the area are relatively prosperous, partly because many families have men working in the Gulf, and many traditional mansions of wealthy families stand out.

Majorda is also the village where the Jesuits, fond as they were of the good things of life, discovered the best Goa toddy (traditional beer made from the coconut palm sap), which they used to leaven the bread. Thus the Majordians were the first to be trained in the art of baking European breads, and are still the best bakers of Goa or India.
