The Dukes Retreat, Khandala

Food: The food exceeded my expectations. The on-site restaurant offered a wide variety of dishes, catering to both local and international palates. I particularly enjoyed the breakfast buffet—it was fresh, well-stocked, and included a good balance of healthy and indulgent options. Room service was prompt and the meals were delivered hot and well-presented. Amenities: The amenities at the property were well-maintained and thoughtfully provided. The Wi-Fi was reliable and fast, which is essential for work or staying connected. The fitness center was adequately equipped, and the pool was clean and relaxing. I also appreciated small touches like complimentary toiletries, bottled water, and a well-stocked tea/coffee station in the room.

The view from the property are breathtaking as it is situated on the Pune Mumbai Expressway at Khandala. There are many scenic spots to visit nearby to the property. Well, when you come to any resort, food taste of restaurent is of paramount importance which we think it was lacking. Food was ok ok for us, however, the buffet at Dinner and breakfast was better. It also has Pottery session organized inside campus. It was little less value of money if you compare the whole package with all the amenities you get. It has valet parking and ample of space for car parking. As of May 2025, garden area was under construction and had prohibited access. Hope it opens soon for the public.

We have been visiting dukes for many years now, however, the recent visit was absolutely a surprise and superlative experience! With the change in mgmt and expansion, everything about the resort has changed for the better - the landscape, rooms, hygiene, service, activities, food, all of it! They also have a dedicated Italian restaurant with authentic recipes and delights. Young enthusiastic courteous team members have been recruited making your stay most comfortable. New recreational activities have been added - Sakshi, kiran, the pottery guy all are great at engaging the kids. Kudos to the team! Keep up the good work!

We visited this The Dukes Retreat, Khandala during the monsoon, and it was an absolute delight. The rains made the surroundings even more beautiful, and the view from the property was truly mesmerizing. The food was delicious, with a variety of well-prepared dishes that felt comforting and fresh. The hospitality was warm and genuine – the staff made sure we felt welcomed and well taken care of throughout our stay. It was a perfect monsoon getaway, and I would love to visit again!

This is a very good property with outstanding views of khandala valley. We found the bar and dinner/ breakfast spread also pretty good. Noticed some minor leakage etc during monsoon but overall very good property and stay
