The location
This Postcard original is enveloped in the tropical rainforest of Netravali just two hours from Goa’s airport. Often compared to the Amazon Forest in Brazil, the forest is home to incredible wildlife including panthers, leopards and the Malabar Hornbill – which you can spot if it’s your lucky day.
No matter what time of the year you visit, the temperature will always be pleasant due to the thick forest cover. The forest also has perennial waterfalls hidden throughout the green wonderland, which you can discover on a fun-filled trek arranged by the hotel. Nature enthusiasts can also follow walking trails that are found in abundance across the property.
The hotel
In harmony with its lush green surroundings, The Postcard Hideaway Netravali is made up of 20 rooms spread across 20 acres, all offering privacy and phenomenal natural vistas. The cottages have been designed to give the ultimate forest experience with a patio to enjoy panoramic views of the surroundings, wooden panelling for a rustic aesthetic, an open-air jacuzzi, and an infinity pool for a lap or two under the clear sky.
Whenever you feel like resting your legs, golf buggies are at your beck and call 24/7 to transport you from your room and around the property. Meanwhile, a lavish spa offers authentic therapies and yoga classes to ensure your Goa escape is the ultimate relaxing escape.
Rediscovered Goan flavours
The Postcard Hideaway Netravali takes your culinary journey very seriously... From the very beginning, you are welcomed with an artisanal signature drink (a triple-distilled Feni Margarita, yes please!). Goan and Konkan delicacies are re-created in the kitchens by skilled chefs for a flavoursome delight.
The hotel takes great efforts to find the best and freshest ingredients to cook up a storm, like Goan chorizo or herbs and vegetables from the hotel’s own organic garden. Meanwhile, you can find your favourite local brews including Peoples Lager and Eight Finger Eddie on the menu. What’s more, the hotel offers local cooking experiences so you can learn to make your favourite Goan dishes to recreate at home.
