The Dukes Retreat Khandala, a 5-star resort in the Western Ghat mountains, overlooks Kune Waterfalls and commands views across the Khandala valley. This luxury property features 80 rooms, including 18 Deluxe Rooms, 54 Executive Rooms, and 8 Cottages, alongside a spa, swimming pool, and conference facilities.

Mountain View Accommodations

The Dukes Retreat accommodations range from Valley View Rooms to Kune Falls Suites, each featuring floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the mountains. All rooms offer complimentary Wi-Fi, king-size beds, and minibars, while suites add separate living areas and balconies.

Valley View Dining

The A Diner serves multi-cuisine options with views of Kune Falls, while the open-air restaurant provides local specialties. The Dukes Bar features an English pub atmosphere and panoramic valley vistas.

Business & Leisure Facilities

The resort houses eight conference rooms equipped with modern audiovisual technology and Wi-Fi access. Additional facilities include a swimming pool, fitness center, and spa offering therapeutic treatments.

Strategic Hill Station Location

Located in Khandala, near the Mumbai-Pune Expressway, The Dukes Retreat provides access to Sunset Point and Rajmachi Point. The property sits adjacent to Movie Shooting Point, with the Celebrity Wax Museum and Bhaja Caves nearby.

“Athiva Resort & Spa Khandala, formerly Dukes Retreat, earns praise for its clifftop setting and valley views. The location is superb, though ongoing renovations create some temporary disruptions. I especially note the staff's dedication to service.”
