History culture and beach find all in the five-star resorts in North Goa
                     History, culture, and beach find all in the five-star resorts 
in North Goa.
For years, I would take trips to Goa from Mumbai and then, every time, without an 
exception, would surely test out the peaceful beaches and the laidback, Goa-only vibe. 
Over the years, however, I found myself settling more and more on North Goa, where 
history blends with nature and a dash of modern luxury blends seamlessly. For those like 
me who have fallen in love with this region, staying in one of the 
five-star resorts in North Goa is a siren call that beckons and never fades. Among my 
favorites tucked away in the peaceful village of Saligao is The Postcard Saligao—a place 
that embodies everything that I cherish about North Goa.
First 
Impressions 
of The 
Postcard 
Saligao
The charm of The Postcard Saligao is that 
it's not one of those usual five-star resorts 
that the North Goan landscape is dotted 
with. There's no great entrance or a three-
story façade either. But you enter a quaint 
Goan house, just the right reflection of the 
16th-century heritage of Saligao village. 
It's the kind of place where rich history 
meets sensuous luxury with effortless 
ease. The moment you step in, you are 
enveloped in a calmness that is hard to 
find even in the most high-end resorts. 
Experiences in Saligao Village
Unlike some of the huge five-star resorts in North Goa, which keep you confined within their 
gates, The Postcard Saligao is quite eager for you to step out and discover.
The village of Saligao is a hidden gem in North Goa. Colorful Indo-Portuguese houses punctuate 
narrow lanes that are perfect for long, leisurely walks. Among my favorite things to do here are 
just walk through the village, looking at the bright pastel facades of old homes and the 
timelessness with which this area is full of charm. 
To experience it even more, I highly recommend afternoon tea hosted by a local family. Indeed, 
the paasai, the traditional Goan tea ritual, was something that I deservedly witnessed during 
my last visit, which took place in one of the local homes.
