Situated on the Madh Marve Road (before Madh Island), The Retreat is just a short drive away from the city centre and about an hour drive from the domestic and international airports. It is well within the city, yet it gives you a feeling of being far away from it. The drive to the hotel changes dramatically just as you are 5 kms away from it. This last pathway to The Retreat covered with lush greenery and breezy palm trees straight away gives you the feeling of getting into a countryside and instantly puts you in a holiday mood. The first thing that strikes you on entering the hotel is the sheer vastness and its charming ambience. A fabulous landscape with beautifully maintained gardens are a feast for the eyes and Mumbai's largest lagoon shaped swimming pool with a waterfall, sunken bar and an open air jacuzzi are very inviting, apart from being the highlight of the hotel.
