The Postcard on the Arabian Sea
Nestled on the secluded Maravanthe Beach, this outpost of The Postcard Hotel is meant for discerning travellers who are looking to detach from the world, and spend a few days being serenaded by uninterrupted ocean views, which come guaranteed at this nine-key boutique resort. Step onto your private patio with a book and let time slip through your fingers. The restrained design of the rooms allows the sweeping vistas of the Arabian Sea to take centre stage, creating a truly immersive experience. Beyond the hotel’s walls, Maravanthe Beach itself offers a host of unique adventures. Discover the region’s pristine (and truly offbeat) diving spots, go on a pilgrimage to the sacred shrine of Murudapa, or explore the scenic trails leading to Agumbe Peak. The hotel also curates dolphin spotting tours!
