THE POSTCARD VELHA

HISTORIC CENTRE

Named after the Portuguese for ‘Old Goa’, The Postcard Velha enjoys an incredibly peaceful and private location atop the vast Champakali Estate.

Set away from the general hustle and bustle, with just eight rooms to its name, The Postcard Velha is a place to truly relax. A wonderful place to end any luxury, tailor-made holiday in Southern India. From the hotel, it’s just a short walk to Old Goa’s historic centre where you can soak in the atmosphere of colonial-era monuments like the Basilica of Bom Jesus. The hotel can also arrange heritage walks with a local guide, surfing lessons and birdwatching in the Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary.

The guestrooms, which sit in the shade of the forest, have private balconies where you can relax with a cup of tea as you admire the gardens (in the middle of which lies a 300-year-old banyan tree) and valley beyond. The interior decor is described as modern, minimalist and tropical, with rich wood carvings, traditional fabrics, lots of living space and an abundance of natural light. Not relaxing enough? The hotel’s resident Ayurveda doctor us on-hand to provide you with a complete personalised plan of treatments.
