The Postcard Moira

Nestled amidst lush banana plantations in a quaint village of North Goa, this 214-year-old ancestral home is just perfect, if you want to experience the laid-back and breezy Goan vibe in its true sense. While the villa-style Portuguese architecture is a treat to the eyes, spacious courtyards, row windows, outdoor showers and a sprawling pool spell out the Goan charm effortlessly. Spoil yourself at any of their 9 thoughtfully restored rooms, featuring four-poster beds, brass fittings, statement lamps and picturesque balcony sit-outs.

MUST-TRY: While you’re here, don’t forget to sample the local culinary delights prepared using homegrown ingredients by the local experts. We especially recommend the Rava fried banana snack, Solachi Kadi and Fish Uddamethi.

Sitting atop the 2-acre Champakali Estate, close to the UNESCO protected Portuguese neighbourhood, The Postcard Velha is an elegant colonial abode. Housing 8 sun-kissed villas and suites, the building opens up to immaculately manicured property grounds and an expansive banyan tree. This lush tropical setting, coupled with minimalist-yet-stylish interiors makes it a picture-perfect getaway destination. Adding further to this surreal frame are the sweeping vistas of the surrounding hillocks and the delta formed by the Mandovi and the Zuari River—a view you can admire from the spacious verandahs here. This picturesque property not only offers a retreat-like experience, but packs it with luxurious services and tailor-made experiences.

MUST TRY: Sample Fish Dangar, Pork Feijoada and the traditional (spicy) favourite Prawn Balchao amidst the serene and scenic dining pavilions overlooking the Zuari River here.

Steeped in history and bringing alive the tales of old Goa, The Postcard Cuelim is all about celebrating Portuguese history and architecture.

The baroque-style rooms featuring teak and marble interiors, scenic balconies and floor-to-ceiling large windows are the perfect excuse to wake up with the rising sun. While the architectural detailing tugs at your heartstrings as you walk past its grand chambers, the gorgeous surroundings are to die for!

MUST-TRY: When in Goa, eat as the Goans do. While you can’t miss out the delicious fish, curry and rice combo here, do try the Pork Sorpotel, Mushroom, Green Pea Xacutti and the freshest Pomfret.
