After a long week of work or overwork, we all need to recharge. A weekend escape to a stunning natural hideaway is highly recommended as majority of us now spend our time sitting on chairs and staring at screens while taking calls and responding to emails.
Now there is a dilemma, a resort or a spa. The answer to that question should be- why not have both! A perfect getaway needs a perfect combination of a resort and a spa! Spa resorts and wellness retreats help us to get closer to nature for complete healing and rejuvenation of body and mind.
Here are 5 spa resorts near Mumbai that are the best places to visit during the Republic Day weekend.
