Heritage design in the midst of lush green hilltop.


One of the most famous hill stations in the country, Mahabaleshwar is widely known to be the ideal weekend getaway destination. Nestled in the lush greenery of the Sahayadris Mountains, Mahabaleshwar.

Sheltered amidst the hilly woodlands of Mahabaleshwar, lies Sherwood Resort ( now rechristened as The Club Mahindra Sherwood resort). The property is located in Mahabaleshwar and it has over 71 rooms. The resort has a swimming pool, with Jacuzzi and a spa to pamper you. Every room has an attached balcony, offering an ideal spot to sit out and abundantly enjoy the beautiful vistas of nature without even stepping out of the resort premises.

Concept

The region displays an agglomeration of heritage architecture styles and influences that is reflective of a typically hill station life and atmosphere. The only visible solid volumes of the development are restricted to the lower level, below the dense canopy cover.

Additionally it renders minimal disturbance to the forest floor with a series of structures between the forest canopy. Open spaces like verandahs, pool, cafes fill in the framework.
