Monsoon makes for the perfect time to unplug from your busy schedule and embrace a warm escape that lets you relax and unwind.
Experience luxury and tranquility at these monsoon retreats.
The first rain changes everything. The air smells fresh, and the world feels calmer. Monsoon isn’t just a season; it’s the perfect excuse to unplug and recharge. It’s about cancelling those packed schedules, chasing grey skies, and checking into places that feel like a soft exhale. Whether it’s for a weekend or a week, these handpicked retreats offer the perfect escape – think lush landscapes, warm beds, slow meals, and the kind of stillness that makes you fall in love with doing nothing at all.
Deltin Suites, Goa
When the rain hits Goa, there’s no better place to be than tucked away in the quiet charm of Nerul, and that’s exactly where Deltin Suites sits. It’s intimate, all-suite, and just far enough from the buzz of Candolim to feel like a little escape. Think morning chai on your balcony with the sound of rain in the background, unhurried Goan meals that warm the soul, and the option to stay in all day. If you’re up for a night out, Deltin Royale is a quick ride away – just enough glitz to balance the calm.
The Kumaon, Uttarakhand
Set above Almora in Kasar Devi, this architecturally stunning retreat is all stone, wood, and huge glass windows that frame the misty mountains. Monsoons here are poetic. With every meal farm-fresh and every view a painting, it’s where digital detoxes feel effortless. Curl up in your room, watch the clouds descend, or walk through pine trails in light showers – it’s pure slow living.
The Tamara, Coorg
High up in Karnataka’s Western Ghats, The Tamara is all teakwood and tranquillity. The villas overlook coffee plantations that come alive in the rains. Think forest walks, Ayurvedic spa treatments, and candlelit dinners with the monsoon wind whispering through. A retreat that truly lives up to its promise of ‘rejuvenation in nature.’
The Deltin, Daman
Just hours from Mumbai or Gujarat, The Deltin in Daman is a five-star hideaway made for weekend rain retreats. Lounge around in your plush suite, indulge in spa therapies, and enjoy long, lingering brunches while watching clouds roll in. With no pressure to do anything, this is the place to just be, with a glass of wine, soft music, and the sound of rain as your playlist.
SwaSwara, Gokarna
This soulful wellness retreat on Om Beach is designed for introspection and balance. Wake up to the sound of waves and birds, try your hand at pottery or yoga as rain sweeps through the lush forests. SwaSwara is less of a hotel and more of an experience – quiet, healing, and beautifully in sync with the monsoon.
Pench Jungle Camp
If you’re a nature enthusiast or wildlife lover, this monsoon escape might just be your dream retreat. Nestled in the heart of the wilderness, Pench Jungle Camp brings the magic of the rainy season to life. Think lush green forests, the soothing rhythm of raindrops, birdsong, chirping crickets, and the earthy scent of wet soil. Monsoon safaris here are an adventure in themselves. Visitors often spot tiger paw prints and fresh safari tyre tracks along the rain-kissed trails.
