Ganesh Chaturthi 2020: Bringing in the Festival with #CMSafeStay!

The countdown to Ganesh Chaturthi has begun, and we’re sure most of you are fondly reminiscing about last year’s vibrant and colourful celebrations across the country. Beautiful marquees cradling idols of Lord Ganesha. Elaborate light installations sharing its sparkle with devotees. Flowers and mirrors adorning every corner and space. Boxes of mithai piling up to the horizon. Bright-gold thalis laden with sindoor, incense sticks, rice grains and coconut, offering its blessings. Processions flocking the streets, chanting “Ganapati Bappa Morya”

This extravagant 10-day festival marks the birth of the sacred elephant God, and revels in a sea of emotions – excitement, joy, togetherness, love, perseverance. But, another thought looms above all others this year. And one can’t help but wonder how it’s possible to honour this momentous occasion amidst the Covid-19 pandemic.  As always, Club Mahindra manages to ignite a flame of possibility as we encourage you to #TravelWithConfidence.

We are thrilled to announce the opening of 20 of our family-friendly resorts across Uttarakhand, Rajasthan, Kerala, Karnataka, Goa, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Puducherry. Now, you can take a break from being cooped up at home, and spend a grand weekend with the sky and sea, birds and bees, at one of our resorts in India. Drive down to a charming Club Mahindra resort near you to mark this festive occasion with something truly special. Enjoy warm hospitality and unique experiences, with an enhanced layer of protection and well-being on top.

A Bouquet of Magic and Safety

We are now ready to welcome you to our magical resorts, safeguarded with protective charms and spells! Club Mahindra has partnered with Bureau Veritas, a global leader in Testing, Inspection and Certification, to ensure that guests have access to the most reliable safety protocols. So, it’s much like travelling from the safety of your home, to ours. Except, with a lot more fun and freedom. And like always, a little festivity too.

Hotel safety is at the cornerstone of every endeavour. So, anyone entering the premises, be it guests or staff members, have to go through a non-invasive thermal screening process. Additionally, all employees are equipped with Personal Protective Equipment to ensure the highest degree of welfare. And just as a gentle reminder, hand sanitisers are available throughout the property for the use of members and staff. Now, those sticky palms and sandy knuckles are sorted.

Families can breathe easy with our safe resorts, and #TravelWithConfidence. Every inch is sanitised with hospital-grade disinfectants, with special frequency placed on high-touch surfaces. So, now you don’t have to fret over what your little one touches! Rooms are thoroughly cleaned post check-out, after which a sufficient breathing period is provided before the next check-in occurs. To add to this, restaurant spaces have been realigned to ensure social distancing is possible. No matter where you are, safety awaits.

We’ve also adopted the latest technology to enable contactless check-in, check-out, in-room dining services and payments, through the Club Mahindra app. You may upload your photo ID and documents up to 5 days before your stay. Furthermore, browse through restaurant menus and place orders digitally via Gourmet Express. While everything is taken care of virtually, the happiness you feel is very real, we promise.

A New Age of Holidaying

While our operations may have changed, the warmth of our interactions remain the same. While stringent protocols lead the way, it doesn’t take away from the joy of experiencing a new day. A Club Mahindra membership offers you the chance to escape to a wonderful and safe space, this Ganesh Chaturthi. A chance to focus on all the good things in life – bonding with family, reconnecting with nature, exploring oneself. A chance to enjoy healthy, wholesome and delicious food. A chance to live life to the fullest, while being grateful for all the blessings bestowed.

We understand your apprehensions. We understand your worries. Which is why, we’ve taken great care to cultivate an atmosphere that is as extraordinary, as it is extra careful! All you have to do is pack up your bags, pile up into your car, and take that long drive towards us. We’ll be waiting, with a whole lot of love and wanderlust…
