The best spacations around the country for an all-girls monsoon weekend getaway

If there is ever a time to plan an escape from city life and check yourself into a resort and spa, then it’s during the monsoon season. There is no feeling as satisfying as getting a deep tissue massage while you’re looking out at beautiful green scenery with rain pouring down. Not to mention, a spacation is an ideal way to pamper yourself, detox, and destress. For those two or three days there are no endless task lists, no calls from your manager or annoying clients trying to get your attention. It’s just you and your girlfriends sitting around in bathrobes drinking lemon water. And as far as breaks go, this is as good as they can be. 

However, we understand how difficult planning can be, especially in this rainy weather. In a group chat, a spacation is a close second to that Goa trip that never pans out. But worry not, we are here to push the agenda forward with a list of resorts and spas from around the country that would be perfect for you and your girls to visit and be pampered into a new realm of relaxation. 

Atmantan Wellness Centre, Pune  

A wellness centre that can help you replenish your body, mind, and soul, Atmantan offers a transformative experience for all its guests. With customised programmes that help you take your mind off the chaos of the city, these treatments will leave you feeling calm and relaxed. 

Wildflower Hall, An Oberoi Resort, Shimla 

If you’re looking to escape into the serenity of the mountains, Wildflower Hall is not an option you should pass over. Nestled at a height of 8,250 feet in the Himalayan range, this luxurious abode was once the home of Lord Kitchener. It has since been renovated into a spa resort that specialises in various Ayurvedic treatments that find their roots in ancient therapies. Wildflower Hall also offers head massages, body scrubs and Himalayan cedar baths. After your treatments, you can soak in the calmness of your surroundings in the property's heated swimming pool or outdoor hot tub. Sounds like an all-girls vacation for the ages, doesn’t it? 

Ananta Spa and Resorts, Pushkar 

This resort houses one of the most sought-after spas in the country. From their couple’s massage, Detox Bliss massage to their Madira Snan (beer bath), it’s a place of pure peace and relaxation. You can stay in an enchanting Balinese cottage villa that overlooks the Aravali Hills, and leave your worries behind. 

Oberoi Amarvilas Spa, Agra  

If you and your girls want to spend a few days being treated and pampered like royalty, the Oberoi Amarvilas Spa is the place to be. Here you can bathe in an aromatic flower bath while taking in the views of the Taj Mahal which is within walking distance of the property. They also offer an indulgent milk and rose bath, a Thai massage, and other herbal therapies. 

Dune Eco Villiage and Resort, Puducherry  

Are you looking to cut off and experience living among nature with your girlfriends? Dune Eco Village is where you need to be.
