Summer has arrived and the blazing heat continues to exhaust us and we dream of chilling in bathing suits and sandals. Let’s dream a bit and imagine ourselves diving into a glamorous swimming pool! This week we want to help you beat the heat by indulging in these lust-worthy pools across India so grab your towel and swimsuit, all you need is a getaway to one of these amazing retreats and you’re summer ready!
1. Kurumba Village Resort, Coonoor, Tamil Nadu:
The Kurumba Village Resort is a rare aromatic arena and the invigoratingly clean air here has to be breathed to be believed! This retreat has been built artfully in a 10-acre former spice plantation, sculpted into a hill and not a single tree has been harmed in the process. Pluck home-grown fruits and vegetables which the chef will then use to conduct a hands-on tribal cooking class followed by treks to the hills and lunches served atop the mountain. For those looking to unwind, there are a series of authentic therapies as well. It’s off-trail, unspoilt, luxurious and in sync with nature where your days seem to slip away like birds in flight.
2. Atali Ganga, Rishikesh, Uttarakhand:
An escape to this spectacular retreat by the mountains after a wildly hectic week is heavenly. The property offers 22 private, comfortable and independent cottages overlooking the River Ganges. Indulge in activities like river rafting, kayaking and mountain biking in the Himalayas or perhaps a spot of yoga by the banks of the Ganges will help you relax and recharge.Definitely try the Garhwali cuisine served at the White Water Café which has both an indoor and outdoor seating area – we bet you will choose the outdoors for those gorgeously stunning views of the valley.
3. Coco Shambhala, Bardez, Goa:
If you’ve been eager to get pampered at one of those luxury resorts, then this is your chance to experience hospitality at its best. This barefoot retreat has been carefully designed to excite all the senses. So relax and unwind in one of their tropical houses and leave the stress of modern life behind. This is a hidden slice of paradise.
4. Soma Vine Village, Nashik, Maharashtra:
This property offers a 29 room’s cozy resort, for a leisurely getaway. Take a dip in the vineyard pool, go the for a laid-back bicycle ride on the winding country roads, soak up the peaceful view and enjoy delicious food while sipping on delectable Soma wines. The entire experience at Soma is lovingly crafted for a stress-free vacation.
This 10 acre homestay is located in Kapurthala and was built in the 1950s. This retreat makes for a great getaway for the entire family. You can enjoy a delicious breakfast spread under the gazebo by the poolside after a refreshing swim. Meal-times are serious affairs here – dining like royalty with multiple courses of lip-smacking delicacies. Our favourite space at Hamira would have to be the library which is lined up with a multitude of genres. The spa provides you with much needed pampering and leaves you feeling truly rested.
