“In today’s fast-paced world, the concept of leisure and wellness often feels like a distant dream amidst hectic schedules.

“We are proud to offer a sanctuary where guests can disconnect from the outside world and reconnect with themselves. Our aim is to help our guests achieve balance and harmony, so they can return to their daily lives feeling rejuvenated and inspired,” said Suhas Chavat Patil, one of the co-owners.

The retreat offers serene lake views, charming stone pathways in varied shapes and textures, and stunning luxury wooden cottages that exude warmth amidst lush greenery.
