A HOLIDAY TO THE BEST LUXURY HOTELS IN GOA

The Postcard Cuelim is surrounded by interesting heritage, scintillating people, and the mark of the Postcard way of service. The perfectly located boutique hotel is just 20 minutes from Goa airport. The Postcard Cuelim is a 350-year-old mansion belonging to The Father of Goan Liberation, Dr. T.B. Cunha. It rings with history, scents, and memories of a time gone by. Rooted firmly in the past, this historic site is now home to our six-room hotel overlooking 3500 acres of lush green paddy fields. The property also has a chapel in it, and the spiritual otherworldliness of the property is felt from miles away.

Many guests opt to paint on a canvas within the property, which is provided by the hotel. On a daily basis, visions come to life with the transcendental stroke of a brush. A major plus point of The Postcard Cuelim is that it is also one of the Goa hotels near beach. Unlike most Goa hotels near beach, the Cansaulim and Velsao beaches are anything but crowded. The serene, tranquil pace of the Postcard way is felt, surprisingly on the beach as well. 

One of the most interesting places in Cuelim is the Three Kings’ Chapel. It has a haunting legend surrounding it– due to which visitation is closed post 6pm. The legend is regarding, easy to guess, 3 kings. The church was ruled over by 3 kings, and as most tales go, killed each other amidst a power struggle. As predicted, they were buried near the church itself. Their kingly spirit is so strong and permeating that it is said they are still within a power struggle, and still trying to protect their kingdom from imposters. Many visitors have claimed to feel otherworldly, paranormal energy surrounding the essence of the church, fortunately, no harm has gone through.

 

Another Postcard Hotel, deemed as one of the best luxury hotels in Goa is the Postcard Velha. It sits perfectly near the Mandovi river and still smells of the colonial era. It was the previous capital of the Portuguese Goa and has much to show for it. For example, the Basilica of Jesus. The hotel is just 10 minutes away from the Viceroy’s arch. The Postcard Velha remains nestled in the quarters of Goa long forgotten by its current tourists. A place where time stands still, and clocks concede to their weariness. With the Postcard Hotel’s all-day breakfasts and artisanal food, you can escape to a traveler’s nirvana. 

Velha is the perfect intersection of culture, history, tradition, art, cuisine, handicrafts, and most importantly – life. It is just 20 minutes from the current capital of Goa, Panjim. Like the best luxury hotels in Goa, the Postcard Velha ranks on top of the list by being awarded India’s best wellness retreat. 

The Postcard Hotel is built on the pillar of distinct service. With no check-in or check-out times, intimate and private experiential luxury hotels, and an ‘anytime breakfast’ model, it prevents you from stressing out about the breakfast buffet from the night before. In Postcard Velha, amidst the forest full of life, a serene, settling feeling of peace overcomes thoughts.  Many activities are perfect for celebrating the joy of being in Velha, such as cycling, fishing, yoga, or even exploring the city on foot. 

The Postcard Hotel is a malleable hotel concept, the aim is to bring the romance of travel back to strained eyes and weary souls, a glowing red to sallow cheeks, and a second honeymoon to dead-end lovers.
