16 Gorgeous Resorts Within 5 Hours Of Delhi For A Relaxing Staycation

A retreat just outside of Gurgaon, on the edge of Damdama Lake, this is a divine property that’s a perfect fit for that weekend getaway you’ve been planning for aeons. With an urban village vibe, it’s made up entirely of tents (cemented ones, not to worry) and brick cottages, with a refreshing swimming pool in its midst. They’re self-sufficient, so you can look forward to simple, delicious meals with ingredients from their garden. There are enormous farms adjacent to the resort, adding to the aura of peace. Strewn across the property, you can find hammocks tied to trees. May we suggest an afternoon of watching clouds?

Karma Lakelands is a noteworthy property that offers a spectacular staycation experience, exuding luxury. With a nine-hole golf course, a lake, restaurants, a cocktail bar, a pizza place, luxe suites, cottages, and villas, your vacation here will be the ultimate stay experience, but what we love most about them is their environmental consciousness. They are a no-horn zone that harvests rainwater and is dedicated to composting all the green and biodegradable waste. They also run many organic, agro, and bee farming initiatives that add to the overall stay experience, making it more interesting and conscious.

If you grew up dreaming of fairytale forest homes like those of Snow White and Sleeping Beauty, this one is straight out of a fantasy — only better. Call it a “fairytale forest fortress,” if you will. Tiny Farm Fort is a hand-sculpted mud house crafted by siblings Ansh and Raghav Kumar, who left the chaos of Delhi behind for Rishikesh’s calm. This isn’t just any stay, it’s a soulful sustainable escape tucked deep in the hills. However, there are some rules here. The property sits on a ridge and is accessible only via a 1.5 km hike (yep, pack light!). You also have to arrive before nightfall—preferably by 5 PM—since it’s surrounded by thick forest and no streetlights. Inside, the thick 18-inch mud walls keep you comfortable even when it's hot outside. Located in a remote area, the place doesn’t get good wifi or network, so be prepared for a digital detox as you connect with yourself and nature. It’s usually sold out, so grab your spot if you find a date open!

Beyond just chilling you go for horse riding, camel safari, mud baths, tractor rides and even get floating breakfast! (I’m sold!) The Ayurvedic spa here is a huge draw as it provides some of the most refreshing Ayurvedic therapies that you can imagine. Bonus; if you have a pet, they welcome them too!
