Alright, the monsoon is here already and we are a tad bit late for this post. However, this write up is for all of us, who crave for a quick getaway and a staycation at a property/resort that suits our taste.
I have complied a list of resorts that TTB Experiences recommends.
These resorts are either personally tried and tested or are vouched by our travel community.
Oleander Farms
Location: Karjat
Average weekend rate for one night: INR 15000+ Taxes onwards.
This farm retreat needs no introduction. Spread over 180 acres this resort is perfect for a getaway from the city. You get the best of both worlds with Farm and Luxury! The dining here deserves a special mention as they have a micro- brewery, restaurant, cafe, a pool bar and the prettiest cococart.

Dharana Retreat Shilim
Location:Shilim
Average weekend rate for one night: INR 35000+ taxes onwards.
This award-winning luxury wellbeing retreat is immersed in the tranquillity. Just a three-hour drive from Mumbai, this retreat spans over 2,500 acres of a pristine ancient landscape. This is not your regular resort, its a wellness retreat hence more suitable for couples over families with young kids.

The award winning architecture and design of coco Shambala provides you a holiday for the mind as you connect intimately with the Arabian Sea and tropical jungles surrounding.
