Christopher, Irene and Caren Mascarenhas from Mangalore enjoy a wildlife holiday at Corbett.

Nature’s treat!
From the very beginning, it was destined to be a perfect holiday – after all Lake Forest Resort in Yercaud was a new Club Mahindra destination spread over 40 acres of an old coffee estate! One look at the reception of the Lake Forest Resort, and we were floored! We stayed in a room that was decorated by a British couple who owned the building earlier. The recreation centre even offered good old traditional games like pallankuzhi! Our advice to all members: the Lake Forest Resort at Yercaud is only a four hour drive from Bengaluru. Don’t miss it!

The Bhargava family from Delhi enjoy the sun during their Goa holiday.


Heaven on earth
All thanks to Club Mahindra our vacation to Goa was really rejuvenating and a welcome break from our hectic lives in Delhi. We really enjoyed our stay at the Goa resort because of the warmth of the resort staff and the activities that engrossed everyone there. We hardly went out for any sightseeing, as we wanted to spend more time in the resort itself. Not only that, the staff was very helpful in managing our 6-month-old baby so that we could enjoy our activities better, and they named our daughter ‘ANGEL’.

The Kumar family from Hyderabad on their trip to Coorg.


Cloud 9 calling
Our trip to Coorg was our first visit to a Mahindra resort, and at the outset, let me congratulate Mahindra on possessing such a prime property in Coorg, especially at a picturesque location. Our stay was most comfortable and we found the maintainance to be of high standards. We loved the ambience created by the Reception area and the open lobby with its woodwork, seating arrangements, etc. was very refreshing and welcoming. The room service and Housekeeping staff were very courteous and prompt, as was the experience at the dining section. We really enjoyed interacting with the Chef as he went around chatting with the guests and making us feel comfortable and special too! We thoroughly enjoyed our sightseeing trips, and the activities that were conducted in the resort. The overall ambiance of the place was very refreshing. We also enjoyed the climate, the greenery, the coffee plantations and the property. All in all it was a marvellous experience and definitely a good break for my family and me.

The Srinivas family from Bangalore relax on their trip to Coorg.

The best time
This was my first visit after gaining membership to the Club Mahindra Holidays scheme. We loved the
excellent service you provided during our stay and we were so comfortable, it felt like home! My family and I enjoyed the resort so much, that we were in no mood to leave as the service rendered,
food and the extra activities planned were amazing and thoroughly enjoyed. We plan to visit a lot more, and more often, thanks to Club Mahindra!

The Kothari family from Surat catch up with friends on their Goa holiday.

Sunny days are here!
This was my 5th trip to Goa, and it gets better every time! A friend’s family along with mine enjoyed this amazing journey to the land of the sea and the sun. The resort has been upgraded a lot and several new rooms and a new swimming pool have been added for further comfort and recreation. Even after spending a week at the resort, we could not prepare ourselves to leave. My friend and his
family enjoyed the trip so much, that they too have taken membership, so we can go for more trips to Club Mahindra together!

Indu Sindhi from Delhi has a refreshing holiday at Munnar with her classmate.

Reason to celebrate
I recently went to Munnar with my friend, and we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly! The club is beautifully situated and the staff was very courteous and helpful. We enjoyed the Kerala weather and the cooling greenery all around us. We especially enjoyed our jaunt in the backwaters of Kerala. Thanks for making our holiday comfortable and exceedingly memorable for us old friends!

The Acharya family from Pune enjoy their retreat during their Dharmshala holiday.


Ultimate Himalayan trip!
The Himalayas are considered to be the silver crown of India, and on our trip we felt privileged to witness such beauty, whilst experiencing such comfort at the resort. Right from Pathankot we enjoyed the weather, and thoroughly loved the Khajjiar locale—its picturesque backdrop of green nature meets blue skies made it an unforgettable memory. The well-furnished Club Mahindra resort was extremely comfortable and thanks to the staff, our dream to visit the Himalayas came true. We completely forgot our urban life and daily chores and felt rejuvenated and fresh in mind and soul. Thank you!

Daniel Jeyaraj from Chennai and his parents spend quality time during their Yercaud trip.


Three cheers!
I visited the Club Mahindra property at Yercaud with my parents recently and was blown away by it. It is such a wonderful property with an excellent layout and close proximity to all the important tourists spots. Each cottage was unique and I simply loved the attic in our room. My parents enjoyed every bit of their stay there and though my wife and daughter weren’t along on this trip, after hearing all about the resort, they too are eagerly looking forward to visiting it. Thank you Club Mahindra for giving my parents and me a joyful and memorable experience.
