The Postcard Hotel has announced the launch of its latest wellness-focused property, The Postcard Ayurveda Retreat, Old Goa – A Sitaram Ayurveda Experience, marking a new chapter in experiential luxury hospitality. Set within a UNESCO-recognised heritage region and surrounded by vast reserve forests, the retreat is dedicated entirely to holistic healing and long-term wellbeing.

Developed in collaboration with Sitaram Ayurveda, which carries a healing legacy of over a century, the retreat blends authentic Ayurvedic wisdom with The Postcard Hotel’s signature philosophy of thoughtful luxury. Designed as a quiet sanctuary away from everyday distractions, the property encourages guests to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with their inner balance.

Speaking about the launch, Kapil Chopra, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of The Postcard Hotel, said, “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 minimum seven nights and are all-inclusive healing journeys focused on providing highly personalised programmes for medical wellness, rather than a recreational leisure escape.”

He further added, “In an industry-first collaboration with Sitaram, our intimate retreat supports long-term health, balance and wellbeing 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, Sitaram Retreats, highlighted the philosophy behind the collaboration, saying, “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.”

Located in the serene surroundings of Old Goa, the retreat is defined by stillness and privacy. At its heart stands a majestic 300-year-old banyan tree, setting the tone for calm and reflection. With only six thoughtfully designed rooms, each featuring private balconies overlooking lush gardens and forested valleys, the property ensures complete seclusion and unhurried healing.

Each guest’s wellness journey begins with an in-depth consultation with resident Ayurvedic physicians, who curate personalised programmes based on individual doshas and health needs. Every aspect of the stay, from treatments and nutrition to rest and daily routines, is carefully designed to support deep restoration rather than leisure-driven relaxation.

Wellness programmes range from seven to fourteen or twenty-one nights, offering guests the flexibility to choose a pace that supports meaningful healing. The retreat caters not only to those seeking treatment but also to guests focused on preventive care, immunity strengthening, and long-term balance.

With this launch, The Postcard Hotel reinforces its commitment to creating transformative hospitality experiences that go beyond luxury, positioning The Postcard Ayurveda Retreat, Old Goa as a destination for mindful living and authentic healing.

Located just north of Goa, the upcoming property reflects Brij’s continued focus on destinations that offer privacy, authenticity, and a deep sense of place.

Set along a pristine white-sand beach, Brij Sindhudurg will feature private beachfront villas designed to blend seclusion with the effortless rhythm of slow luxury.

Guests will be able to step directly onto the sand from their villas and experience the coastline through carefully curated, nature-led activities. These include early-morning dolphin sightings, guided snorkelling in clear coastal waters, and quiet water-based journeys that highlight the region’s rich marine life.

Evenings at the resort will unfold with intimate beachside dining experiences, where locally inspired coastal delicacies are prepared simply and enjoyed against the sound of the waves. Cultural encounters will form a key part of the stay, bringing Sindhudurg’s soul to life through interactions with local communities, regional storytelling, and traditions deeply rooted in the Konkan way of life.
