Get in touch

Nested in the reserve forests of Old Goa, The Postcard Velha hosts an intimate Sitaram Ayurvedic retreat designed to support balance and renewal during periods of sustained stress, mental fatigue, or burnout. Set within a secluded six-room boutique property, the experience centers on personal, doctor-led Ayurvedic care.

Stays begin with a minimum of 7 nights, with 14 to 21 nights recommended for deeper, more lasting results. Each day is shaped by one-on-one doctor consultations, prescribed Ayurvedic treatments and herbs, gentle yoga, meditation, and nourishing meals that are integral to the healing process, forming a holistic path back to balance and recovery from the cumulative effects of modern life.

The Destination

Far from Goa’s busier coastal hubs, Old Goa presents a quieter setting shaped by forested landscapes and UNESCO-protected landmarks. Overlooking hundreds of acres of reserve forests, The Postcard Velha offers an elevated, private stay among lush greenery, where calm and nature shape an environment designed to support deep rest and healing.

The Retreat Host

At the heart of Sitaram Ayurvedic Retreats stands Dr. Vignesh Devraj, a fourth-generation Ayurvedic healer and founder of the retreat, whose deep lineage in classical Panchakarma and commitment to root-cause healing anchor the retreat's approach. His work in crafting individualized treatment pathways reflects a blend of traditional wisdom and decades of experience guiding therapeutic programs.

Supported by a team of dedicated physicians and practitioners, the retreat offers daily consultations with experienced doctors, alongside the attentive presence of therapists and support staff, creating a high standard of care that supports guests through each stage of their journey.
