When summer in Mumbai starts to feel relentless, a short escape can make all the difference. Popular spots like Lonavala, Matheran, and Mahabaleshwar remain reliable choices, not just for their milder temperatures but also for their accessibility and open landscapes. Alibaug offers a quick change of scene with coastal air, good seafood, and no flight required.
If you’re leaning toward something quieter and closer to nature, away from the tourist flow, take a look at Nature Trails. Their properties in Durshet and Sajan are surrounded by dense forest and rivers, making them ideal for those who want to spend more time outdoors, without the need to plan every detail. You can spend the day on a forest trail, try your hand at ziplining, or just sit back near the water and let the day pass slowly.
These aren’t over-curated resorts — they’re spaces designed for people who appreciate the outdoors without needing to escape to the hills. Whether you're travelling with others or just want a change of pace for yourself, these kinds of getaways offer a reset that feels like one.
