Overview

Cliffside luxury resort in Khandala with panoramic Western Ghats views

Accommodations & Rooms

Athiva Resort & Spa Khandala offers 80 luxurious rooms, including valley view suites with private balconies. Each room includes a sit-out area for taking in the cliffside scenery. The property has been renovated from the iconic Dukes Retreat, with interior updates that provide spacious, well-appointed spaces.

Dining & Entertainment

The resort houses two dining venues: Panorama, serving Italian cuisine, and The A Diner, offering multi-cuisine buffet and à la carte options. A bar on-site provides live music and a curated selection of fine wines, premium spirits, and Khandala-inspired beverages. Guests can also enjoy high tea served in the evening on the deck with valley views.

Wellness & Recreation

The on-site spa offers relaxation and beauty treatments, with specific services like deep tissue massage and personalized therapy. Yoga and meditation sessions help guests unwind, while a heated outdoor swimming pool provides panoramic views of the Western Ghats. Additional recreational activities include pottery sessions with instructor Bala, horse riding on the lawn, cycling, badminton, and billiards.

Business & Events

State-of-the-art conference facilities with modern amenities cater to business travelers and corporate events. The resort's 8 acres of landscaped lawns serve as a venue for destination weddings and large gatherings. A dedicated sales team coordinates events, though some reviews note coordination challenges; the property offers exclusive buyouts for full-day events.

Location & Nearby Attractions

Set on a cliffside along the Mumbai-Pune Express Highway, the resort is a 1 hour 40 minute drive from both cities.
