Colvale is a census town in North Goa district in the state of Goa, India. It has been a scenic and historic village, though in recent years changed by out-migration and in-migration. It is the last border village on Bardez or Bardes (then the 'Old Conquest' boundary in Portuguese-ruled colonial Goa. On the edge of Colvale is the Chapora river, after which is the next taluka (sub-district), and Goa's northernmost, of Pernem.
