This place deserves an excellent review. Important context - the property used to be a Hilton luxury resort until 2021, when it changed management (same owners) to become a full wellness retreat at Dharna Wellness. The entire experience from check-in - until checkout was terrific. We were welcomed and invited to embrace the 8 arms/limbs designed to guide our wellness experience. It felt as if every corner and decision made by this place was in this direction, quiet spaces, delicious but measured food, distance and space, even the rules. If you want a luxury holiday, this may not be it, however, if you want a wellness experience this is surely the place. The location is hard to beat, on a 2500 sq acre of forested land, the Villas, although a bit dated are still in excellent shape, the views are hard to beat. I read before coming the food was not great, however, we found it to be terrific. Great variety, tasty but still following ayurvedic principles. It was varied day to day, and the service was outstanding. I also read the wait times were long. During our stay they were fine - 10-15 minutes at the maximum, but even then, every single staff member was working to get you to your next destination. Remember each part of this campus is quite far, so vehicles are moving in between dropping off guests, still, we were never made to wait long and were never frustrated. We enjoyed our treatments, yoga and pranyama. The only thing wrong was that we couldn't stay longer! All in all an outstanding place - we will surely be back. Location, Service, Experience, all exceptional value . A shout out to all the staff that looked after us - Tinushka at reception, Tanmay, Suraj, Mashezoko, Jetin at Ojas, Datta and Aravind, Majindra driving, Chef Akshay, the staff and Drs at the House of Healing!, and the Activity staff for the wonderful hike up to Shilliim Peak.

Minor construction in the common dining area, - unavoidable and fine.

The property is well maintained, amidst nature, food is delicious. The King Forest villas offer excellent privacy. Their bathrooms are huge and so well designed that they give a very earthy experience. The staff was courteous. I did Tibetan bowl meditation which was a very calming experience for me.

Well, I’m someone who does not enjoy so much seclusion offered by property. Someone who loves privacy, will enjoy the property. I was scared of intruder, wild life, and snakes entering the room. You have to keep the doors closed all the time as mentioned in the stay. It will be worthwhile for the property to add more activities to do in the resort.

I absolutely loved it never imagined Maharashtra could look so beautiful until I stayed with you. Hats off to every staff member and the management team for keeping the property so clean, green, and well-maintained. Everyone was incredibly kind, the food was fresh and organic, and the rooms were absolutely gorgeous. I’d love to visit again soon. Thank you so much for the warm hospitality!

Our stay here was amazing and exceeded all of our expectations, from the treatments included in our stay to the food, the staff was exceptional and regularly went out of their way to make our stay better. The wildlife on the property was incredible too, and their dedication to sustainability was clearly visible. A once in a lifetime experience.

The service was excellent! Marami at the Ojas restaurant and Taslima at reception were very welcoming. We were skeptical about the wellness cuisine but the food was absolutely delicious. We also enjoyed the activities like the culinary course, ceramics painting, yoga and Tibetan bowl meditation. The property is stunning, you could walk around it forever!

The peace and tranquility, the location, the friendliness of the staff, the spa treatment .

We could not use the jacuzzi when we wanted to and the pool was closed at 7pm when we wanted to go for a swim. It was a dry weekend due to voting in the village so we could not have a glass of wine with our meal. As international travellers staying in a resort of that calibre that should not be the case. The prices for treatments are very high even when comparing to prices in Europe

It’s a fantastic property amidst a dense forest cover very aesthetically designed.

The biggest drawback was that they had only 3 cars to service 96 villas, which meant you could easily spend 25-30 mins each time just trying to get from one point to another, spread across a large property. That gets frustrating to organise each time especially for a group.

The location is great. The property has maintained the sanctity of the forest. It’s just you and nature. The villas are great with all the facilities mentioned. If you want to get away feom the city hustle, 1 or 2 nights here is recommended.

Walking around the property is a bit difficult. The various restaurants are at quite a distance from the villas. The road is uphill, so not that comfortable. Only way to move about is through their Nano cars. It’s highly recommended that they upgrade them soon. Also, please carry enough snacks with you as the room service takes 1hr+ to get anything as the restaurants are far off and can service only using the Nano’s.

Everything, Location, was perfect for mind detox, Staff was more than amazing, very friendly and serviable, Many activities to do, It is isolated, so you cant go out but you will not feel bored, but not for solo traveller, I reached on sunset amd I felt scared, Big villa and isolated, Its secured but if you are alone dont go, Thank you for the security man who came and told me ill be the whole night near your door so you can sleep and dont be scared, Everything was dreamy

A bit expensive around 30000 ir including food, Very expensive

Above expectation! Loved the experience of waking up in the heart of nature! A very friendly staff specially the one who was doing the farm tour, and Lokom! They tried to accommodate my request for a special food request, activities, and others! Thank you Devarshree and Nafis for making our stay extraordinary!

Nothing!
