Brightland Resort & Spa

Perched on a peaceful hillside in Mahabaleshwar, Brightland Resort & Spa looks out over the Krishna river valley and Sahyadri ranges. It’s a family-friendly, 4-star mountain resort minutes from Lingmala Waterfalls and Venna Lake (≈3.1 km) and close to Wilson Point, Mahabaleshwar Bazaar and Polo Grounds.

Rooms are air-conditioned and come with refrigerators, LCD TVs and in-room entertainment options like DVD players; many units include safes and minibars. The property leans into hillside views with an all-glass lounge/bar overlooking the valley and a clean, contemporary resort vibe—think modern comfort with mountain scenery.

Prana spa pampers with massages, body treatments and facials while a fully equipped fitness center keeps you moving. Splash in a solar-heated outdoor pool, unwind in the hot tub, sauna or steam bath, or hit the tennis and volleyball courts; there’s also a nightclub, game room/arcade, library, ping-pong and a children’s playroom. Expect concierge services, tour assistance and free on-site parking—wake up to misty valley mornings.

The resort offers a business center plus conference space and meeting rooms for events, complimentary newspapers in the lobby, laundry/dry-cleaning services and complimentary wireless internet access. Free self-parking is available onsite.

Multiple on-site restaurants serve regional and international flavors—Indian, Italian, Oriental, Gujarati and Mughlai—while an all-glass lounge/bar overlooks the valley. Guests can also order 24-hour room service and enjoy after-dinner drinks at the bar/lounge.
