Know your holidays.



Pamper yourself. The perfect holiday leaves you truly rejuvenated. And at our Svaastha

Spa, we help you achieve exactly that. With its roots in Sanskrit,

‘svastha’ symbolises health in Ayurveda. Set against the backdrop of

exquisite holiday destinations, Svaastha Spa promises to melt away

your stress and helps you unwind. We offer a vast range of revitalising

ayurvedic therapies, aromatherapies, classic Swedish therapies, body

scrubs, spa facials, energy healing and yoga.

Fun Dining. Trying out the local cuisine is an exciting part of any holiday isn’t it?

Show your taste buds an equally good time by enjoying a yummy

dining experience at Fun Dining. Here, we give you a taste of

international flavours, common favourites and local delights. We offer

you all this in attractive packages, of course.

Fun Zones. Here, we take fun very seriously. Fun Zones are recreational activity

centers available at most of our resorts. They offer a combination of

thrilling outdoor and indoor activities ranging from backgammon and

table tennis to aqua zorbing and bonfires. The best part? You can

safely leave your tiny tots here and enjoy that much needed alone

time. Our Club Mahindra Fun Rovers are always at hand to ensure the

holiday is entertaining for both, you and your kiddos.


The perfect holiday accommodation is crucial for a fun holiday. So

is choice. And at Club Mahindra, we offer you both. Spacious

apartments at scenic locations allow you to enjoy a perfectly

relaxing holiday. You can choose from 3 apartment types, i.e. studio,

one bedroom and two bedrooms, depending upon your requirements.

While a studio apartment is perfect if you are a couple with two

children, a one bedroom apartment is ideal for a small family. But if

your family is large, than a 2 bedroom apartment is more or less

what you’re looking for.

But space is not all that is on offer here. Kitchenettes with

refrigerators, microwaves, tea and coffee makers as well as LCD TVs

come together to make your stay truly comfortable. So when your

late night movie marathon brings on those hunger pangs or the tea

and coffee addicts among you crave your cuppa at all hours, feel

free to whip up these delights in any manner you choose. After all,

when you holiday with Club Mahindra, you holiday well.

Room to spare.

Here's what the magnificent Ashtamudi Lake does to you.

The moment you set eyes on it, all you want to do is drop

everything and enjoy it. And you can do just that at our

resort, resting calm and beautiful on its banks.

There are so many reasons that make Club Mahindra

Ashtamudi the ideal place to relax and loosen up. Chief

among them being the floating cottages located right on

the backwaters. Get yourself into a houseboat and gently

float down the backwaters. Or take a pleasant walk along

the palm groves on the banks. If action is more your style

then give the local fisherman a hand with their Chinese

fishing nets.

After the labours of the day, go for a traditional Ayurvedic

massage at Svaastha Spa. A few hours of pampering here

and you'll be ready for another adventure in no time. May

it be exploring temples, churches and forts, learning a new

dance form, coir making or even magic. It's all possible

here. So buckle up. Your Ashtamudi holiday is going to be

one awesome ride.

PoovarAs you drive down to the southernmost tip of Kerala, a

cool breeze gently beckons you towards the beautiful

coastal town of Poovar. Once here, you’ll stumble upon

quaint cottages with red roof tiles, hidden within groves of

coconut trees. That’s Club Mahindra Poovar.

Once you’ve settled in, it’s time to enjoy the allure of the

backwaters. Experience the simple village life along its

banks and marvel at the unique harmony the locals share

with nature. Watch them fishing, harvesting paddy,

breaking open a coconut or two and building their

beloved boats. It’s here that you realise that real pleasure is

found in the simple things of life.

If the backwaters are beautiful by day, they are even more

so, by night. Take a stroll along the banks on a moonlit

night and you’ll know what we’re talking about. Imagine a

starry night resplendent with two moons. One shining

above, the other beautifully reflected upon tranquil waters

below. It’s an unbelievable sight. Your Poovar holiday is

shaping up beautifully. Come on over and experience it.

Kumarakom

When your morning newspaper is delivered by a smiling

local happily going about in a boat, you know that this is

one holiday that is going to be unlike any other. And set

against the backdrop of Kerala’s beautiful Vembanad Lake,

Club Mahindra Kumarakom meets your every expectation.

Sprawled over 17 acres, the resort is a network of cottages

connected by quaint bridges and narrow cobblestone

pathways, poised majestically on shining waters. You can

spend many lazy hours here, savouring a book while

dipping your feet in the water.

Food lovers, we invite you to experience Kerala’s finest

fare. And you can sample it all while enjoying a dramatic

folk dance at the in-house performing art restaurant,

Natakshala. Afterwards, kick back, relax and take in the

view while sipping on a cup of the finest brew. But

whatever you do, don’t forget to witness an authentic

Kalaripayattu display. The sinuous movements of this

3000-year-old form of martial art make for an amazing

experience. Now that would make an interesting holiday!

Varca Beach, Goa


There is something so different about Goa. And right here at

Club Mahindra Varca Beach, Goa is where we want you to

discover it. Step inside to experience Goa at its slow,

unhurried best.

Built in true Goan style with white walls and a red tiled roof,

this contemporary haven is complete with spacious rooms

and suites with private balconies. Just imagine sitting here

while a soft breeze lulls you to sleep as you take your

afternoon siesta. Afterwards, indulge in a few laps in any one

of our two swimming pools. If you are in for a rush, then

wage a paint ball war on your buddies or loved ones. With

guns spraying splatters of every colour imaginable and over

enthusiastic war cries, it’s great fun.

Think this the best that Goa can do? Think again. Take your

growling stomach to the beautiful, Portuguese styled Tamara

Restaurant. Sample the culinary gems refined by generations

of Goans to perfection. Afterwards, make your way to the

beach shack and treat yourself to some of the finest pleasures

available in a glass. Swirl, sip, savour. It just keeps getting

better. Be it sun, sand, delicious food or the warmth of its

people, Goa really does have it all. This is one holiday you are

not going to forget in a hurry.

Page no: 15


Quietly tucked between two beautiful beaches, Club Mahindra

Emerald Palms is a sprawling Portuguese style villa flanked by lush

lawns. Once here, begin your holiday in true Goan style. Take to the

water like a pro. Go snorkelling, jet skiing, paragliding or banana boat

riding. Afterwards, take a dip in the pool followed by a long and

restful snooze.

There is only one valid excuse to interrupt this state of pure

relaxation. And that is to answer the delicious summons of Goan

cuisine. So make your way to our open-air restaurant and tuck into

the finest fare Goa has to offer.

Emerald Palms, Goa

Those among you with a penchant for culture can always explore

the amazing number of churches, temples, forts and beaches that

make Goa famous. If you happen to travel during the monsoons and

find the beaches somewhat less exciting, don’t stress. Goa is just as

beautiful if not more so in the monsoons. So pick a time, any time.

It’s always a perfect holiday when it’s a Goan holiday.

Look to the left and there’s a bright, sunny beach. Look to the right and

there are calm and languid backwaters. Club Mahindra Cherai is truly a

paradise for all you water babies. Sprawled over 5 acres, the resort is

fringed with numerous coconut and palm trees bringing an authentic

coastal experience to your door step. Here, you’ll experience the

Keralite way of life right from living in traditional, tiled cottages to

tucking in the yummy local food, straight off a banana leaf.

A stroll through the swaying palms will lift your spirits in no time. A little

ahead, by the beach, you’ll see the Chinese fishing nets in action. If you

want to try your hand at it, you can always befriend a local fisherman.

You never know, he may just let you in on a couple of tricks of the trade.

After you are done fishing, you can either choose to go sunbathing

or swimming. After all, the beach is tranquil, beautiful and always

welcoming. Or head straight to the Svaastha Spa and treat yourself to

a traditional massage. Isn’t your Cherai holiday sounding great

already? And it’s about time you experience it.

Cherai Beach

Pondi, as this place is lovingly called, is a beautiful

town tucked in the eastern seaboard of India. And you

can soak in the beauty of this place right here at Club

Mahindra Puducherry.

Life is super fun here with activities like kayaking,

catamaran rides, nature walks and treks in addition to

ATV bike rides, volleyball and luxurious dives in the

swimming pool. Your little ones are going to love

making pots at the cool workshops held at the resort.

In the evenings, watch as age-old legends of the

Ramayana and Mahabharata come alive at the local

ethnic theatre, Koothu. Afterwards, tuck into a

wonderful candle light dinner. Where? Right in the

middle of the pool of course!

In your free time, explore Auroville, an experimental

township or get in touch with your spiritual side with

a visit to Matri Mandir, a new age meditation complex.

If you are in an adventurous enough mood, drive

down to Pichavaram, a beautiful mangrove forest.

With so much to look forward to, we’re sure you’ve

already started packing your bags for Puducherry.

If your family has been craving for a different kind of a vacation, then

look no further. The answer lies in Club Mahindra Jaisalmer and we’d

love to have you here. Built from traditional sandstones, the resort

charms you with its royal appearance. On your first night here, relax

around a bonfire and enjoy some mouth-watering pakoras.

Next morning, begin exploring the rich tapestry of culture that

envelopes this beautiful land. Visit the Museum of Folk Culture as well

as the Golden Jaisalmer Fort. Afterwards, don’t forget to pick out

souvenirs to take back home. There’s loads of entertainment at the

resort just for you. Kick back and enjoy the local Rajasthani folk dance

or laze by the pool and get that perfect tan. Participate in special

workshops and learn the art of traditional clay modelling, pot painting and

so much more.

Had enough of the indoors? Then spend an exciting day dune bashing.

Later, calm those racing senses while enjoying a slow camel ride or

camping out in the desert. Lie beneath the stars with your loved ones and

know that this isn’t only a good holiday, but a great one.

Jaisalmer

Spectacular forts, stunning landscapes and loads of fun. That’s

Kumbhalgarh. So pack those bags and prepare to be transported to

the bygone era of beautiful palaces, still deserts and beguiling royalty.

After you’ve settled down, it's now time to discover the many gems of

history residing in Kumbhalgarh. Begin with the majestic Kumbhalgarh

Fort. The walls of the fort are the 2nd longest in the world, a grand

sight. Make time to visit the Ranakpur Jain temple housing stunning

sculptures, shrines and carvings. And whatever you do, don't miss the

amazing view of the lakes from the Sajjangarh Fort.

Whew! That was a little too much of sightseeing. No worries. You can

always pick up where you left off the next day. For now, you can head

back to the resort for some well deserved rest. After all, in addition to

sightseeing, you also have a jungle safari or trekking to look forward

to, the next day. As for the kids, they will have a great time learning to

make their very own puppets, clay art, finger painting and many more

such activities. With vibrant colours, exciting sounds and so many

things to do and see, there is never a dull moment in Kumbhalgarh.

Kumbhalgarh

22


Within the golden city of Rajasthan is a palace fit for kings. As

soon as you step inside its palatial walls, you’ll be transported to

the forgotten sands of royal Rajasthan. Such is the charm of

Club Mahindra Nawalgarh.

One of the things you must try out here is the camel safari.

Enjoy the slow gait of the camel along with the dusty wind of

the desert. What a way to explore! If you want some hands on

village experience, then that is possible too. Hire a horse and

simply trot around the village. Make your way to the local

bazaar and be amazed at the sheer riot of colours. It’s quite easy

to loosen your purse strings when you see all those traditional

handicrafts on sale. Feel free to bargain, haggle, quibble and

wrangle. Every second will be worth it, especially when you

haul all that booty back home.

Whether you fancy handicrafts or not, you definitely have to try

out pottery and puppet-making at our resort. You never know,

you just might fashion a ‘Kathputli’ of your own. After a day

spent hard at perfecting this traditional art, it is time for some

well deserved entertainment. Watch the resort erupt into a royal

celebration at the close of day. Enjoy the traditional Rajasthani

folk dance. Just try on a glittery lehenga or pagari and join

in the celebrations.

Nawalgarh

23


Deep within the Aravallis is the charming Lake City of Udaipur.

And within lies the Club Mahindra Udaipur waiting to give you

a real taste of the royal life. Easily passed off as a sedate

Rajasthani palace, the resort is a heady blend of old world

charm and contemporary comfort.

Once you’re here, shake off that fatigue with a lovely dip in the

pool. The pristine surroundings will also help revive your spirits

after your journey. You are now free to uncover the many

delights waiting for you at the multi-cuisine restaurant.

Satiated, start your experience here with a visit to the City

Palace located at Lake Pichola. Don’t forget to visit the Lake

Palace, Crystal Gallery, Jag Mandir, Jagdish Temple and the

Saheliyon Ki Bari.

Afterwards, head back to the resort for a break. There are plenty

of things for you to do here. From workshops that teach you

the art of pottery and handicrafts to modern day pastimes that

include gaming zones. The resort has it all. Later, pass your

time in much the same way as those royals did so many years

ago. In perfect relaxation.

In the middle of coffee plantations within Kodagu Valley, lies Club

Mahindra Virajpet. The first plantation resort in Club Mahindra

network. Now that you’re on vacation, it’s important to pamper

yourself. Which is why, you’re invited to our Savastha Spa offering

soothing treatments just for you. Pampering doesn’t stop here.

Enjoy a delicious buffet and signature dishes prepared by our chefs,

on demand.

Travellers, there’s lots in store for you. Just a short drive away lie the

gushing Chelavara Falls, located in a lovely coffee plantation. Along

the way, don’t forget to visit the beautiful Buddhist Golden Temple.

If you’re wondering where you’ll find that perfect cup of fine coffee

then we’re going to end the hunt for you right here. Sniff. Sip. Aah! You

won’t find a better cup outside our in-house coffee shop.

Exotic spices, coffee or a million pictures. There are plenty of ways to

take a little piece of Virajpet back home with you. And you would want

to. Why? Because anything that brings back the memories of this perfect

holiday will be worth cherishing.

Virajpet, Coorg


Heady, intoxicating, overpowering. What best describes Coorg is

still a matter of debate. But one thing is for certain. You'll be

completely smitten. Especially when you step into the beautiful

Club Mahindra Madikeri.

Once you’re suitably rested, take a leisurely stroll through lush

coffee plantations. Here you can learn all about how coffee is

grown, harvested and roasted. When you are finished, indulgence

awaits you at our multi cuisine restaurants that specialise in

Kodava cuisine.

Once your tummy is properly pampered, it's time for yet another

interesting turn of events. Visit the Dubare Elephant Camp. Pass many

an enjoyable hour feeding and bathing these lovable creatures.

And if they lift their trunks and shower you till you are soaking

wet, don’t mind a bit. You'll love them all the more for it.

Your Coorg holiday isn't all fun but interesting too. Take time

out to visit Talakaveri and the beautiful Golden Temple in

Namdroling Monastery. The restless souls among you can

explore the adventure valley or take a guided walk into the

forest. Discover the beauty of Coorg in all its glory. Allow it to

sink into your heart and remain there long after your holiday

has ended.


Madikeri, Coorg

28

MahabaleshwarDrive through the Western Ghats all the way to the top. And

there, overlooking the stunning valley lies the Club Mahindra

Mahabaleshwar Sherwood.

It’s great fun visiting Maharashtra’s most popular hill station.

Especially during the strawberry season when you see

masses of freshly picked strawberries everywhere you turn.

Relish a delicious strawberry milkshake, a bowl full of

strawberries with dollops of cream or simply gobble them up

whole. The choice is yours! All you have to do is have them

while enjoying the cool and wonderful mountain breeze.

In the evenings, visit Venna Lake. Rent a boat and have a

great time sailing through the fog on the cool waters.

While strolling around the banks of the lake, stop at any

one of the small eateries and order a plate of corn pattice,

a local delicacy. Later, jump on a horse, ride alongside

your family and race them to the finish line. Truly,

Mahabaleshwar is wonderful. Enjoy it.


As you drive up winding lanes twisting right through endless

tea plantations, you’ll discover Club Mahindra Munnar, calmly

resting on hilly slopes. Once you’ve recovered from your

journey, soothe your weary muscles at our Svaastha Spa. Now

that you’re rested, gorge on mouth-watering authentic Kerala

delicacies at our specialty restaurant. Later, enjoy the gorgeous

view of the misty hills over a cup of steaming tea.

Like any hill station, Munnar too has its share of lakes and

hilltop viewpoints. However, Munnar is also home to a wildlife

sanctuary, mountain streams and waterfalls. If you’re lucky, you

might even spot Neelakurinji, an exotic blue flower that blooms

only once in 12 years.

Love adventure? You’re in luck. There’s trekking, rock climbing,

rappelling, river crossing and other thrills along the way. For

those who want to play it safe, a jeep ride through the hills can

be quite exciting. While you are out sightseeing, don’t forget to

pick up some fresh tea powder and spices from any of the

stores along the way. When you are all relaxed, sit on your

balcony and listen to the sweet silence of the night. You’ll never

want to leave.

Munnar


Binsar ValleyAllowing you the luxury of a 300 km view of the Himalayas

from zero point, Club Mahindra Binsar Valley is a wonder

in itself. An architectural style inspired by the Gupta period

with slate roofing, stone walls and beautifully crafted

wood carvings, it gazes serenely at a landscape of majestic

snow-capped mountains.

But that’s not all. Here, you can enjoy the unique

experience of living in a tent or sleeping under the stars by

the warmth of a cozy bonfire. For those looking for more

energetic adventures, there’s rock climbing, trekking,

nature trails, wildlife sanctuary tours and much more.

Untouched and unexplored, Binsar makes for a fantastic

Himalayan vacation. Major peaks like Chaukhamba,

Nanda Devi, Kedarnath, Nanda Kot and Panchachuli are

visible from here. It’s not all nature here but loads of

culture too. Just hop into a car and make your way

towards the Jageshwar Temple complex, consisting of

over 125 temples and famed as one of the 12 jyotirling

dedicated to Lord Shiva. So think no more. Just pack that

bag, throw in that camera and make your way towards

Binsar. Your wonderful holiday awaits.


Binsar Villa

The beauty of Binsar compels even the uninterested to take a

second look. Sitting snug between majestic oaks and happy chirps,

Binsar used to be the summer capital of erstwhile kings. Today it’s

a wildlife sanctuary preserving 200-odd species of birds and the

receding broad leafed oaks. And, Club Mahindra Binsar Villa

captures its wilderness like nothing else.

As you step into your Australian log hut, built around the towering

alpine trees, you’ll feel as though you are far away from civilization.

And in the morning, there’s nothing more magical than waking up

to a birdsong and the sweet scent of wild flowers.

The best way to explore the woods is on foot. So go on long treks

to enjoy Binsar to the fullest. You will pass many temples and holy

sites on the way. But the real treat is the stunning display of nature.

The magic in the air is bound to bring out the artist in you. That’s

when you head to the Fun Zone, where you can make paper

puppets, paint pine cones or do whatever you please. A holiday in

Binsar is sure to change you for the better.


OotyDerby Green

Deep in the blue hills of Niligiri sits Ooty, and right at its heart

lies Club Mahindra Derby Green. Begin your holiday here

with a soothing Ayurvedic massage at our Svaastha Spa.

Completely relaxed, now head towards the Blue Mountains.

Climb right up the highest point on the Dodabetta Peak and

be mesmerised by the sight that greets you. Later, fall in love

with roses in every imaginable colour, beautifully

maintained at one of the largest rose garden in India. Later

in the night, camp out and spend time counting stars. After

all, what better way to spend a holiday?

Danish Villa

Surrounded by the resplendent beauty of the Nilgiri Hills, the

lush greenery of Club Mahindra Ooty will blow you out of

your mind. The first thing you absolutely must do here is eat

to your heart’s content at the multi-cuisine restaurant. Later,

take a walk in the pine forest. It’s absolutely beautiful.

Afterwards, you have long hours before you to do just as

you please. Go on a trekking expedition, ride on the backs of

elephants or pack that overnight bag and proceed for a night

safari. If the great outdoors aren’t really your thing, don’t

worry. Bathroom singer or not, unleash the full potential of

your vocal chords at the karaoke session or boogie around

the bonfire. Laughter, excitement and a whole lot entertain-

ment. Your Ooty holiday couldn’t get better.



NaukuchiatalA vast aquamarine lake emerging from a perennial spring,

surrounded by lush greenery as far as the eyes can see. That

is Naukuchiatal in a nutshell. And facing the pristine lake is

Club Mahindra Naukuchiatal, 3.5 acres of absolute bliss. You

just won’t be able to resist a trek or a bike ride up the dense

forests on the hill slopes. Bird watchers can keep a look out

for different species of birds that alight here.

Apart from kayaking, rowing, canoeing and boating, the lake

is also ideal for angling. But you haven’t seen anything until

you have gone paragliding over the valley. Once you’re up

there, all you’ll be able to do is utter an inadequate ‘aah’ to

express your brimming admiration. Once you have had your

fill of the outdoors, you can get back to the resort, just in

time for a lovely bonfire night.

If you want some quiet time, grab a drink and relax at the bar

overlooking the mountains. It’s the perfect time to smile and

realise that life can’t any better.

34


Baiguney

Here’s your little piece of paradise in the south of Sikkim. Guarded by

snowcapped mountains, Club Mahindra Baiguney is located on a river

front and surrounded by lush greenery.

It’s as if the resort has been designed especially to showcase the

wealth of its natural surroundings. Each room here comes with its

own unique view. A word of friendly traveller’s advice, the best way

to experience Baiguney’s natural landscape is on foot. Trek into the

wild, set up a tent, gather your family around a bonfire while belting

out classic Bollywood numbers or simply drift off to sleep under the

starry skies.

But that’s not all. There are loads of thrills in store for you. Rafting in

the Rangeet river is one of them. If adventure sports aren’t really your

thing, then you can always drive to the Temi Tea Gardens and enjoy a

perfect cup of tea in the midst of this quiet beauty. Later, continue

driving towards Chakung and be amazed by the 360° panoramic view

of Mt. Kanchendzonga. There is no other way to put it. Baiguney is

lovely. So just come on over and enjoy it.


Along the Shevaroy Hills, in the sun-kissed land of Tamil Nadu is a

quaint little hill station that makes for a welcome break from the hot,

humid climes of its neighbours. But what makes it even more

welcoming is the Lake Forest Hotel, a 19th century, beautifully restored

colonial bungalow.

Every room here brings to life the glorious era of the British Raj, right

from the ornate walls, antique furniture to the rich drapes. The place

transports you to a time that you’ve only ever glimpsed through the

dusty pages of long forgotten history books. Once you’ve finally

managed to peel your eyes off the interiors, you might want to step

outside for a stroll down the tea plantation by the bungalow. The

Yercaud Lake is not too far away either. It’s the perfect place to begin

your sightseeing. The forest surrounding the lake is fascinating with its

eclectic mix of flora and fauna. Have a go at rock climbing. It’s a great

way to de-stress.

Later towards the evening, you can set up camp and spend a dreamy

night in the woods. Just imagine it. You, your loved ones, the moon

and the stars. What a perfect way to enjoy your Yercaud vacation.

Yercaud

36


MussoorieMany years ago, a British soldier by the name of Captain Young

fell in love with the place and built a shooting lodge

overlooking the snowcapped mountains. Today, that lodge is

Club Mahindra Mussoorie.

Every room here offers a breathtaking view of the mountains.

The views also accompany you as you enjoy delectable dishes

at our open air multi-cuisine restaurant. There’s a lot you can

do here. You can walk or take a ropeway to Gun Hill. But if you

are up for it, go rafting and kayaking on the Ganges at Shivpuri.

For shutterbugs who’d love a shot or two of the gorgeous

countryside, a stop by the Kemty Falls and Lal Tibba is a must.

Those in search of the divine can rejoice. Mussoorie has quite a

few holy shrines. Visit the Surkhanda Devi shrine in the

Dhanaulti hamlet. There is also the Jwalaji Temple and the

ancient shrine of the Nag Devta, situated in the most beautiful

corners of Mussoorie.

When you have found your peace, head back to the resort for a

quiet evening at the library or play a round of air hockey. Or

you could just sit out and enjoy the misty sights. We promise

you. It will be hard to look away.

37


Hill Country, Kodaikanal

Perched 6,998m above sea level, Hill Country Kodaikanal, an

associate Club Mahindra resort is surrounded by lush greenery

and towering hills. When you enter your room, let the

spectacular view take you by surprise. Afterwards, the day

stretches before you to sing, dance, play games or make new

wonderful. As you arrive at Club Mahindra Thekkady, you’ll see

orchards, cardamom and pepper plantations, will take your

breath away. The forest reserve of Thekkady is home to an

amazing collection of wildlife. The best way to spot it up close

is by taking a boat ride down the Periyar, or even better, take

the bamboo raft. Apart from this, you’ll get to go on elephant

rides, tea and spice plantation tours and nature walks.

Not in the mood for the woody outdoors? Chill, we have an

abundant collection of books to keep you company. You could

Towards the northern tip of the country, lies a hamlet offering

breathtaking views of the snow-covered Himalayas. That’s the

setting of Club Mahindra Kanatal, your perfect hillside getaway.

While its perfect year round, winter is an especially beautiful

time to pay a visit here. Its crisp, cool and the softly falling snow

douses everything in sight with its white magic. Run about,

catch a snowflake or two on your tongue, launch a snowball

fight with your pals or simply roll about in the snow. You can

even go rappelling down those snow-covered rocks. It’s rather

fun. After all that mischief in the snow, head straight to the

temperature controlled swimming pool. After a long, luxurious

soak, it’s time to indulge that rather demanding tummy at the

multi-cuisine restaurant.

For sightseers, there are plenty of places to visit near Kanatal. Go

for a day trip to Mussoorie or make an excursion to the Tehri

Dam. Religious or otherwise, visit the sacred Surkunda Devi

Temple, it’s a spot you simply cannot afford to miss. On a perfect

day, you can even admire the view of the Himalayas from here.

Want to take your family on an unforgettable holiday abroad? We

have just the place for you. At the heart of the United Arab Emirates

lies a land, pulsating with life. Dubai is exotic, modern and has an

unapologetic passion for luxury. And you can enjoy it all at Club

Mahindra Dubai. With warm hospitality, cozy rooms and private

balconies, you can spend hours admiring the glittering city lights

of Dubai. Afterwards, when you begin craving for those delicious

munchies, head over to our 24x7 coffee shop and try some

favourite local snacks over a cup of Arabic coffee or kahwa.

Shopping in Dubai is a wonderful experience. There are huge malls

across the city where you’ll find almost everything from all over

the world. That is if you can tear your eyes off the amazing

skyscrapers all around you. The Burj Khalifa, of course, is the star

attraction of Dubai.

However, none of these experiences can compare to spending a

moonlit night on a desert safari. Nothing beats riding a camel deep

into the endless desert. In the evening, set up a camp and feast like

the Arabs do, in the company of twinkling stars, the vast desert and

shimmering belly dancers.

Loud and chaotic, Bangkok is completely delightful. And right in the

midst of this enchanting confusion is Club Mahindra Bangkok. With

rooms decorated in true oriental style, staying here brings the Thai

experience closer to you. Once you are rested, put on your walking

shoes and prepare to take on this city on foot. Stop a while to marvel

at the wonderful khlongs or canals that weave through suburbs,

forest parks and ancient Buddhist temples. Or hire a long tailed boat

or ‘sampan’ and drift languidly down tree-lined canals.

But enough of the slow and unhurried. It's now time to explore the

other side of Bangkok. The one jam-packed with traffic and

charming tuk-tuks. Shopaholics, indulge. Because Bangkok is all

about retail therapy. Tired already? We have just the remedy for you. Bangkok

Take your favourite book and retire to the amazing rooftop garden.

Or dive in the swimming pool for a few laps. Later, head out for

some mouth-watering Thai food and give that growling tummy of

yours a treat. Your Thai holiday is looking good already. Hurry up

and enjoy every tiny second of it.

Synonymous with classical music, Austria is an amazing mix of

cultured cities, slow-paced towns, enchanting castles and stunning

alpine scenery. Ladies and gentlemen, that is the stunning

backdrop of Hotel Bon Alpina, which nestles in the village of Igls,

located a mere 4 kilometres away from one of Austria’s most

beautiful cities, Innsbruck.

The best way to explore this gorgeous place is on foot. It will take a

while for you to take in all the beauty. Give it a moment. Take a deep

breath and walk on. There’s a long soak in the heated outdoor pool

waiting to rejuvenate you. And when the crisp mountain air brings

on those hunger pangs, let your stomach decide between any one

of the three specialty restaurants to satiate your appetite. Still want

something more? You’re in luck. There’s a wonderful café for

something sweet and savoury to complete that culinary escapade.

Your Austria holiday is going to be a one of a kind experience. One

that you wish will go on forever.
