At this Goan hideaway, make postcard-worthy memories

SOLITUDE GUARANTEED

The maddening city life is left miles behind as you drive through the resort gates and are warmly embraced by nature at the Postcard Hideaway in remote Netravali, South Goa.

NATURE BECKONS

The 20 pinewood cottages on Postcard Hideaway's sprawling 20-acre property are close to the Netravali Wildlife Sanctuary and are surrounded by the Western Ghats.

GET ENCHANTED

A brisk walk around the property will get you acquainted to the magical powers of nature – its vastness, receptiveness and soothing touch.

COZY COMFORT

You can snuggle up with a book in the luxuriously cozy room (with wi-fi) or lounge on the verandah. If you get lucky, you might sight visitors from the wild – black panthers, giant squirrels or great pied hornbills.

BY THE POOL

At the swimming pool lounge, plunge into the water and watch the changing hues over the hills in the distance or pick a book and read or just play a game of chess.

FEAST ON VIEWS

It’s an extraordinary experience to dine at the restaurant here with the view of the Western Ghats – the chef eager to appease your palate even if it means rustling up dishes not on the menu. All-time breakfast is a boon.

INDULGE IN SELFCARE

Nature by itself is therapeutical but some spa treatment or yoga at the pavilion can help you find your lost orientation and return to the city with a fresh perspective.

TWILIGHT DREAM

Quiet moments you spent here will replenish your dreams and stay with you long. In the city, these moments will be rekindled by the chirping of a bird, rustle of a tree, a plume of cloud hanging outside your window or the ember evening light.
