When it comes to experiencing the epitome of ecological luxury, The Machan Treehouse Resort stands unparalleled. Conceived as the quintessential escape from the hustle and bustle of Mumbai, this gem took decades to perfect. The emphasis wasn’t just on construction, but on conscientious integration with its verdant surroundings.
Many may envision the birth of a luxury resort to be a hurried afforestation process followed by rapid construction. However, Machan charted a different course. Their philosophy married architectural aesthetics with environmental fidelity. Instead of merely avoiding disruption to the environment, they embarked on a noble mission: enhancing forest quality, championing conservation initiatives, and fostering community development.
Stepping into any of the accommodations at The Machan is akin to entering a realm of natural grandeur. Several treehouses ascend beyond the lush canopy, providing sweeping vistas of the emerald expanse stretching all the way to the horizon. This isn’t just a stay; it’s an exhilarating adventure, albeit with a touch of opulence. While the lofty heights and ladder accesses may challenge the faint-hearted and might not be suitable for children, they offer an unparalleled experience that rekindles the child-like wonder in every adult.
Beyond its spectacular accommodations, Machan’s heart lies in its sustainable operations. The resort is a green beacon, powered primarily by renewable energy. Pristine water is drawn from a mountain-fed ground well. Greywater undergoes recycling, nurturing the property’s gardens. Even as guests revel in the sense of solitude that the Machan experience offers, the resort ensures minimal disruption to the forest’s resident fauna.
Starting from a reasonable rate of €120 per night, guests have a selection of about 20 distinct treehouses. Each boasts a unique milieu, yet a consistent thread of luxury runs through them.
For those seeking more than just a getaway, The Machan Treehouse Resort offers a symphony of sustainability and splendor.
