Region
Goa
Location
Velha Goa - Takes about 45 minutes’ drive from Goa International Airport.
Overview
This six-roomed modernist colonial hideout is tucked away atop the sprawling two-acre Champakali estate in Old Goa or as the Portuguese called it Velha Goa. A perfect place to enjoy the simple pleasures of Goa, and the rare luxury of complete privacy.
The sun-kissed villas and suites lie in the shade of the forest with private balconies overlooking lush gardens and the valley beyond. With their tropical aesthetic and plush interiors, they’re the perfect place to rest and reinvigorate.
The delectable cuisine of this former capital of Portuguese India can be attributed to its cultural heritage. Shining examples of this legacy can be found in the likes of Fish Dangar, Pork Feijoada or the traditional, spicy favourite Prawn Balchao. All of which can be enjoyed in the serene and scenic dining pavilions overlooking the Mandovi river.
There’s just the right amount to do at The Postcard Velha. From exploring the city’s UNESCO protected Portuguese neighbourhood to surfing in the Arabian sea, or cycling across secret island routes, there’s plenty to help immerse you in a Goa you’ve never known before and make your stay is a memorable one.
