The Postcard Hotel has officially opened its newest property, and it is called The Postcard Ayurveda Retreat in Old Goa. Furthermore, this sanctuary operates as a Sitaram Ayurveda Experience, and it welcomes guests into a UNESCO-recognized enclave of history and heritage. Therefore, the retreat blends transformative hospitality with authentic Ayurvedic healing traditions.
Moreover, the retreat overlooks hundreds of acres of peaceful reserve forests, and it offers a private haven for deep restoration. Consequently, the hotel invites discerning travelers to step away from constant noise and distraction while reconnecting with their inner rhythm. In addition, every stay unfolds as an intimate healing journey, and Ayurveda supports each guest’s unique path toward better health and lifelong well-being.
Kapil Chopra, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of The Postcard Hotel, says, “With The Postcard Ayurveda Retreat, we have created a pioneering wellness sanctuary in India that offers a comprehensive experience to address unique lifestyle needs and concerns of each guest. The stays here start from a minimum of 7 nights and are all-inclusive healing journeys focused on providing highly personalised programmes for medical wellness, rather than a recreational leisure escape. In essence, the retreat seamlessly combines transformative experiential luxury with authentic Ayurveda for deep restoration.”
Additionally, Chopra adds, “In an industry-first collaboration with Sitaram, our intimate retreat supports long-term health, balance, and well-being by integrating their century-old healing legacy of Ayurveda with the calm of nature, thoughtful design, nourishing cuisine, and perceptive service offered by The Postcard Hotel.”
Dr. Vignesh Devraj, MD (Ay), Founder and Chief Physician of Sitaram Retreats, also explains the philosophy behind the retreat. He states, “The Postcard Ayurveda Retreat represents a meaningful convergence of place, purpose, and healing. At its core, Ayurveda is about restoring balance and tapping into the body’s innate potential to heal. Our retreat harmonises these ancient principles with guided consultations, medical insights, and personalised care at every step of the tailored wellness programmes. We offer guests a holistic path to recovery and renewal in the privacy of their own space, as they reconnect with themselves and cultivate a path to better health and balance.”
The retreat promotes stillness, seclusion, and quiet reflection, and it creates an atmosphere deeply connected to nature. Importantly, a majestic 300-year-old banyan tree stands at the heart of the estate, and it defines the sense of place. With only six thoughtfully designed rooms, the property ensures ultimate privacy, and healing unfolds at an unhurried pace. Moreover, the sunlit rooms feature private balconies overlooking lush gardens and valleys beyond, and they allow guests to relax in calm and open spaces.
Kapil Chopra emphasizes the design philosophy and notes, “The sense of stillness and seclusion of Old Goa has been the focal point of conceptualising The Postcard Ayurveda Retreat. Enveloped by forests and open to light, air, and nature—the spaces have been intentionally designed to slow the senses, allowing guests the freedom to turn inward and experience healing at their own pace.”
Each stay begins with a detailed, personalized consultation with resident physicians, and they design programs tailored to individual constitutions and dosha profiles. Consequently, the retreat delivers attentive care and medical insight at every stage. Therefore, guests follow a carefully curated daily routine, and it includes treatments, diet planning, yoga, nature walks, and structured rest. In essence, the retreat does not offer a conventional holiday, but it provides a purposeful immersion into Ayurveda for lasting renewal.
The wellness journeys extend for 7, 14, or 21 nights, and they focus on deep restoration and recovery. Moreover, dining supports healing with dosha-specific, physician-guided meals prepared with seasonal produce. In addition, guests enjoy these meals in serene pavilions overlooking the Mandovi River. Consequently, every element of the experience, from treatments to cuisine to service, works in harmony to create balance, wellbeing, and lifelong health benefits.
