Mumbai: Mahindra Holidays & Resorts India Limited (MHRIL), India’s leading leisure hospitality company, announced the launch of two new resorts in Club Mahindra Amba Ghat, Maharashtra and Club Mahindra Bandhavgarh, Madhya Pradesh, adding 159 keys to its growing portfolio thus strengthening its presence across Western and Central India on Friday.
These launches reflect Club Mahindra’s broader strategy of pioneering new destinations by bringing lesser-known destinations onto the travel map for Indian holidaymakers. Supported by strong and sustained demand for leisure travel, the company has adopted a capital-efficient, asset-light approach to expand its portfolio through a mix of greenfield developments, management contracts, and other flexible operating models. The additions are aligned with MHRIL’s expansion strategy of scaling the portfolio to 12,000 keys by FY30.
Commenting on the launch, Manoj Bhat, Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer, Mahindra Holidays & Resorts India Limited, said, ” Destinations such as Amba Ghat and Bandhavgarh reflect the growing preference for immersive, nature-led experiences among today’s travellers. At Club Mahindra, we have always believed in identifying and thoughtfully developing emerging leisure destinations for India’s evolving base of holidaying families. As we build for the future, our focus remains on expanding high-quality inventory across diverse locations, while consistently delivering memorable family holiday experiences. This approach continues to guide us in our journey towards becoming India’s most trusted leisure hospitality brand”.
Amba Ghat, a scenic mountain pass along the Kolhapur–Ratnagiri route in Maharashtra’s Sahyadri ranges, is steadily emerging as a serene hill getaway for travellers seeking nature-led escapes away from crowded tourist circuits. The Amba Ghat resort comprising 96 keys will feature river-facing apartments with the Kadvi River flowing through the property, offering guests a tranquil retreat amid the lush Sahyadri landscape.
Bandhavgarh, located in the Vindhya Hills of Madhya Pradesh, is globally renowned for Bandhavgarh National Park, one of the world’s premier wildlife tourism destinations and home to the highest density of Bengal tigers. The Bandhavgarh resort with 63 keys will offer an immersive wilderness stay experience with expansive verandas, outdoor decks, and uninterrupted forest views, designed to bring guests closer to the surrounding natural environment.
Together, these destinations reflect Club Mahindra’s focus on expanding into locations that offer immersive natural experiences for families and leisure travellers. It recently launched Club Mahindra Nadiya Parao, in Uttarakhand and signed a new property in Dapoli, Maharashtra.
