The Complete Guide to Club Mahindra Resorts in India
From Himalayan hill stations to Goa's beaches, tiger reserves to heritage cities — a themed guide to choosing the right Club Mahindra resort for your trip.
Choosing by Experience, Not Just Distance
Club Mahindra operates over 50 resorts across India, spanning hill stations, beaches, wildlife reserves, heritage cities and backwaters. Choosing between them usually comes down to the kind of trip you want, rather than distance alone. This guide groups Club Mahindra's properties by experience type, arranged through TheForestStay's formal booking partnership with Club Mahindra.
For full addresses, room counts and distance details on every property, see our complete Club Mahindra resort directory.
Hill Station Resorts
Club Mahindra's largest cluster of properties sits across Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, covering nearly every major hill station:
- Himachal Pradesh: Kandaghat (on the Kalka-Shimla Highway), Pristine Peak Naldhera (near the golf course), Shimla (Mashobra), Manali, White Meadows Manali, Dharamshala (near the cricket stadium), and Janjehli (near the Shikari Devi Temple trail).
- Uttarakhand: Binsar (near Kasar Devi Temple), Mussoorie-Avalon (Gun Hill), and Kanatal (near Surkanda Devi Temple).
- South India hills: Virajpet Coorg and Madikeri Coorg (Karnataka's coffee country), Golden Landmark Mysuru, Munnar and Mount Serene Munnar (Kerala's tea hills), and Derby Green Ooty with Danish Villa Ooty in Tamil Nadu.
Beach and Coastal Resorts
Goa alone has three Club Mahindra properties: Assanora (North Goa, 244 rooms), Emerald Palms (near Varca Beach) and Acacia (near Benaulim Beach). Maharashtra's coast adds Tropicana Resort near Alibaug's Kihim Beach, while Gujarat offers Dwarka, close to Shivrajpur Beach. Kerala contributes Cherai, right by Cherai Beach's lighthouse.
Wildlife-Adjacent Resorts
A smaller but notable group sits near India's protected wildlife areas — Kanha and Bandhavgarh in Madhya Pradesh, Tiger Kingdom near Ranthambore in Rajasthan, Nadia Parao and Patkot near Jim Corbett in Uttarakhand, Gir in Gujarat (Asiatic lions), Thekkady near Periyar Tiger Reserve in Kerala, Bharatpur near Keoladeo National Park in Rajasthan, and Netrang near Rajpipla Wildlife Sanctuary in Gujarat.

Heritage and Desert Resorts
Rajasthan's desert and heritage circuit includes Jaipur, Udaipur (near Sajjangarh Fort and Lake Pichola), Jaisalmer (near the airport), and Kumbhalgarh (near the fort). Agra adds Saura Hotel, just 2.5 km from the Taj Mahal — among the closest Club Mahindra properties to a single landmark anywhere in the network.
Backwater and Riverside Resorts
Kerala's backwaters feature Ashtamudi (on Ashtamudi Lake) and Arookutty (on the Alleppey backwaters), plus Poovar near the backwaters and Golden Sand Beach. Andhra Pradesh offers RVR Dindi on the Godavari River bank.
Western Ghats and Countryside Retreats
Maharashtra's countryside cluster includes Tungi (overlooking Pawna Lake, near Lonavala), Hatgad (near Nashik), Ambaghat (on the Kolhapur-Ratnagiri highway), and Dapoli. The Mahabaleshwar hill station adds two properties — Chambers Mahabaleshwar and Saj Mahabaleshwar, both within 5 km of the town centre.
Northeast India
Sikkim rounds out the portfolio with Le Vintuna Gangtok (near Ranipool Highway) and Chumbi in Pelling (near the Skywalk).
How to Choose
- First-time Club Mahindra guest: Pick based on the experience you want most — hills for cooler weather and trekking, beaches for coastal relaxation, wildlife properties if a safari is part of your plan.
- Combining with a wildlife trip: The Kanha, Bandhavgarh, Ranthambore and Corbett properties can be paired with a safari booked through TheForestStay's core service.
- Planning a family event or wedding: Several properties offer significant wedding and banquet capacity — worth checking lawn area and buyout terms for your specific property before booking.
