The Ultimate Resort with Activities in Lonavala for Family Fun and Relaxation

Planning a short escape from the city noise? Lonavala always feels like the right call. Close enough to be a quick drive, yet far enough to disconnect. And if you’re wondering where to stay, here’s one name that keeps popping up for good reason - The Dukes Retreat, a top-rated resort with activities in Lonavala.

Whether it’s the view, the food, the spa, or the little experiences that bring people together, this is one of those places that ticks the boxes without trying too hard. Especially if you’re travelling with family, it’s a setting that balances fun, comfort, and calm.

A Nature Escape that’s Easy on the Eyes and Mind


Perched along the slopes of the Western Ghats, The Dukes Retreat is in a prime spot to take in the surroundings. From your room, you can catch a proper view of the Kune Waterfalls, especially during the monsoon when it’s at its best. It’s hard to beat that moment when you slide open your window and are met with rolling green hills and the sound of flowing water.

The rooms are spacious, neat, and designed for comfort. Big windows let nature do the talking, and there’s something grounding about watching clouds drift over the valley from the warmth of your bed. You’ll find everything you need for a peaceful stay - nothing over the top, just well-thought-out touches.
