Mumbai: The nearest and quickest weekend getaway – Lonavala, has been the blue eyed boy for both Mumbaikars and Punekars alike. All the more, with the augment of rains, the place gets thronged by revellers from all the nearby regions making Lonavala one of the busiest tourist destinations in Maharashtra. The monsoon euphoria such builds that the legendary Lonavala chikki sells like hot cakes and the roasted corn like freshly roasted hot corns should. The popular Bhushi Dam becomes a beehive of people, all wanting to immerse a little of themselves in the overflowing waters gushing from the reservoir while the rains continue to lash on. However, barring all the traditional merriment that this paradise hill station offers, an attraction got newly added to Lonavala.

Rumourss Sky Villa & Resorts, the uniquely built boutique resort with its villas themed in the Japanese styled tree house chalets are the latest attraction featuring on the way to either Bhushi Dam, which is only 500 m further ahead or en route Tiger point. The resort which faces the Lonavala Dam is gaining tremendous popularity, firstly due to its stunning architecture that captures the attention even as one is passing by and secondly due to the spacious rooms the villas offer along with the view of the lake, the vast green expanse and the warm hospitality. Of course, the latter can be experienced only post a stay at the resort.

“I have myself always loved Lonavala and a yearly monsoon excursion with the family has been a tradition for me. So, when the thought of building a resort came to mind Lonavala was the obvious first choice. Also, the dream was to build something unique, hence the sky villas and offer exceptionally good hospitality. The villas are a novelty in themselves and offer everything that a conventional hotel can, besides adding a host of exclusive possibilities for our guests like encouraging bringing along their pets or inviting senior citizens for a day of relaxation, among many other customization that we offer from time to time,” says Mr Devang Badiani, Managing Director, Rumourss Sky Villa & Resorts.

For couples, especially those looking to spend an evening cocooned in a nest of sorts, the attic provisioned within the villas are like romance personified. The attic is accessed by a small flight of stairs from within the room which leads to the topmost part of the villa. It is enclosed by large sized window panes on the exterior side and a wall on the other. Wedged right between this is a bed that looks out into the mesmerizing wonders of nature while the rain drops splatter and trickle down the windows from the outside and which make the warmth and cosiness inside all the more romantic.

“The villas have found their niche with the guests and vice versa, quite literally. From the total categories of guests staying at our resort, including families, business, leisure travellers, it’s the couples who are making for most occupancy. We have most repeat guests as couples and I can imagine why. The attic was built with the thought of making it as dramatic and romantic as it could while providing privacy for guests. We are thrilled to know that the idea is working and each day the number of couples visiting is increasing, especially in this season,” concludes Mr. Badiani.

NOW SAVOR THE JAPANESE TREE HOUSE CHALET EXPERIENCE

New Year’s Eve At Rumourss Sky Villa, Lonavala

Ring out the old, ring in the new,

Ring, happy bells, across the snow;

The year is going, let him go;

Ring out the false, ring in the true.

Alfred Tennyson

Mumbai: New Year’s Eve is a momentous occasion for a Mumbaikar. No city in India celebrates the festival with as much verve and vigor as Mumbai. Every resident is on the lookout to usher in the New Year with as much exuberance and uniqueness as possible. For most, this day is the epitome of an entire year.

This New Year’s Eve, eight lucky families (or a group of two to four pax) will be able to enjoy the Japanese Tree House Chalet experience for the first time in India. Rumourss Sky Villa, India’s first resort built on the lines of Japanese Tree House Chalets, has laid out a fun filled evening that includes unlimited dinner and a pool party under the stars for its patrons at very attractive rates.

“Our focus is on creating an experience rather than a New Year event. We encourage our guests to check in at noon and experience our hospitality till check out time the next day. Most parties held in Mumbai are claustrophobic in a manner of speaking. When you go to a dinner, discotheque or a pub, you are surrounded by walls on four sides and roof over the head. At our resort, we will be offering a surreal experience under the stars, alongside a party lit swimming pool, in the lap of nature. Located on the foothills of a mountain with a magnificent lake on the other side, Rumourss is set on one of the most picturesque locations of Lonavala,” says Mr. Devang Badiani, Managing Director, Rumourss Sky Villa & Resort Pvt. Ltd.

The New Year rentals at the resort are priced at Rs.33,024/- for the Sky Villas and Rs.30,656/- for the Earth Villas with early bird booking discount of 10 per cent. This includes accommodation for two to four pax in each villa, a gala dinner with starters and drinks, next day breakfast, free Wi-Fi and taxes. With a usable area of 400 sq. ft., each villa comes with a spacious balcony, a cozy attic with double mattress, 50 inch LED television, room service and many other standard and exclusive amenities.

“One of our most important highlights is privacy and exclusive service. In the entire resort covering an area of one acre, we have constructed only eight villas. Four of them are sky villas and four are earth villas. This enables us to provide quality service to each of our guests,” adds Mr. Badiani. “Another big differentiator is that we are a pet friendly resort. This New Year our patrons will be able to party with their pets as we not only permit the entry of pets, but encourage our guests to holiday with them.”

“One thing we can promise with absolute certainty is that 2016 New Year’s Eve will be one of the most unique and comprehensive experiences savored by our patrons. Since this is a one of its kind property in India and a mere two hour drive from Mumbai and Pune, the resort has been receiving pre bookings ever since its launch, earlier this year. We have priced it economically to generate goodwill and customer loyalty,” concludes Mr. Badiani.
