Aria Resort Nashik is synonymous with luxury, offering a dreamy and peaceful landscape. Situated just five minutes from the Sula Vineyards, the resort is surrounded by an abundance of nature. The reception opens to vast green landscapes and mountains, with a touch of water element added to the aesthetics, inviting you to pause and fully absorb the serene surroundings.
It’s said that the universe, and everything within it, including humans, are made up of five elements. This is one place where I felt most aligned with my Panchamahabhuta—Earth (Prithvi), Water (Jal), Air (Vayu), Space (Aakash), and Fire (Agni). The aesthetics are so pleasing that even after returning home, I could close my eyes and mentally revisit the promenade, where I spent most of my evenings. The misty air and light rains added to the romanticism of this place, especially in the evenings. It is an ideal weekend getaway near Mumbai to get away from the hustle of the city.

How much did Aria resort cost?
We booked a two-night stay at the resort through the Club Mahindra app. As members, two nights were deducted from our membership, and we paid around ₹9,000 per night (including taxes) for three adults and one child, with a buffet breakfast included. The cost is on the higher side, especially considering we visited on weekdays and are Club Mahindra members.
Final words
Aria Resort has truly captured my heart. It’s an ideal weekend getaway near Mumbai and Pune. We visited at the end of July to celebrate my husband’s birthday, and it turned out to be a special experience, although the resort didn’t arrange a cake. ☹
For food recommendations, be sure to visit Peruchi Wadi for the authentic Chulivarchi Misal. Since the in-house restaurant is quite expensive, it’s a good idea to have dinner outside the resort. There are several nearby restaurants where you can enjoy authentic Maharashtrian and non-vegetarian cuisine.
All in all, Aria Resort and Spa is the best luxury resort in Nashik, Maharashtra. The service is impeccable, the rooms exude luxury, and the food (though purely vegetarian) is delicious. From the moment we checked in to the two days we spent there, the experience was magical, serene, and unforgettable. The luxury offered by this resort is unparalleled, and the ambiance, especially in the evenings, is pure magic. Don’t miss swimming in the infinity pool! Although the water was cold due to the monsoon, the views were simply dreamy.
I am already looking forward to planning another stay, hopefully in the winter, to enjoy the chilly weather.
