Sun-kissed swims at The Postcard Hideaway, Netravali

Goa is all about that laid-back holiday. The serene views, the amazing food, and the rich culture make for the perfect vacation. But, did you know that while you enjoy some downtime here, there’s a lot more that you can try? 

What to do: You can enjoy the unending sights of the Western Ghats from the patio, or you can spend your days exploring the property (hint: they have secret waterfalls in the vicinity!), or perhaps have a picnic with grapes, books, and a drink. You can also go on a nature trail or even go cycling around the property. 

While out, you could spot black panthers, giant squirrels, great pied hornbills, or one of the other 25 species of birds that are frequently seen. In fact, you can also go on a night trail that the hotel provides. 

The Postcard Hideaway Netravali also is famous for its wellness and spa treatments. With an outdoor swimming pool, a jacuzzi, and even a steam room – you can find more than one way of relaxing. If a massage sounds like a good idea, you’re in luck. The wellness centre offers an array of massages and also packages that start with a fresh crystal rose and hydrating sea salt exfoliation. You can get facials and other treatments as well. 

What to eat: While you’re here, you can try some Sannas (rice cakes that may be sweet or savoury) made with toddy derived from the sap of coconut palm. You can give the Ros Omelette (Ros is Konkani for gravy) a shot, a famous traditional street food of Goa.
