Hi, I’m Manish, a 26-year-old adventurer, and I recently enjoyed an unforgettable 2-day trip at Khushi Riverside Resort & Spa in Mahabaleshwar with my pet and my best friend Buddy (Golden retriever). As someone always on the lookout for unique experiences at top hotels in Mahabaleshwar, I can confidently say was nothing less than perfect.
Below is the a short video of the Resort
Day 1: A Warm Welcome at One of the Best Hotels in Mahabaleshwar
Buddy and I were greeted by an atmosphere that felt uniquely local and refreshingly authentic from the moment we arrived. Stepping onto the Khushi Resort, I was immediately drawn to the vibrant blend of nature and thoughtful design. With their vibrant native plants and well-kept lawns, the resort's gardens created an engrossing experience by narrating Mahabaleshwar's rich botanical heritage.
At 4,400 feet above sea level, the crisp mountain air was an invigorating welcome, offering a cool escape from the city heat. The resort's architecture struck a perfect balance between modern amenities and rustic, local charm—open-air lounges, natural stone accents, and large windows that framed breathtaking views of the surrounding hills. During check-in, the friendly staff didn’t just hand us a key; they shared insider tips about the area, like the best local viewpoints and a hidden trail leading to the nearby Lingmala Waterfall. :) getting a plus one on our books.
After a smooth check-in, Buddy and I took a relaxing walk around the resort’s lush gardens and peaceful places around the resort and riverside spots. The natural beauty and spacious grounds reaffirmed why I chose to book a resort in Mahabaleshwar that not only welcomed Buddy with open arms but also offered a perfect blend of luxury and nature.
Buddy, always curious and playful, enjoyed the open spaces, trotting around and stopping now and then to sniff the local plants. The staff's genuine care and the resort's strong local character made me feel confident that I had chosen one of the best hotels in Mahabaleshwar. My first day was marked by friendly greetings, real local experiences, and a clear promise of more adventures ahead.
Day 2: Exploring, Relaxing, and Culinary Delights
Our day began with a hearty breakfast that showcased a delightful mix of local flavors and international dishes. The Food was great and reflected the care and creativity of the chefs at Khushi Resort, reaffirming why this place is truly one of the top hotels in Mahabaleshwar.
After breakfast, I treated myself to a soothing spa session while Buddy enjoyed the warmth of the sun in the garden. The resort's peaceful ambiance made it hard to leave its comforting embrace, even when we ventured out briefly to explore some local attractions. Still, every moment spent on the property highlighted the resort's perfect balance of relaxation and adventure.
As the evening set in, I settled into a serene sleep in a room that perfectly blended modern comfort with the charm of Mahabaleshwar’s natural beauty. The quiet night at Khushi Resort, with its gentle ambient lighting and calming atmosphere, provided a truly restful experience exclusive to the resort.
