There are some properties you visit for a holiday, and then there are some you visit to meet yourself in the wilderness, away from the city. WelcomHeritage Akashganga Heritage Hills Resort & Spa in Dungarpur, Rajasthan, is a plastic-free green spa resort inspired by nature. Hidden amidst the scenic hills of the Dungarpur district, this recently launched spa resort is a place where nature, scenic beauty, a pollution-free environment, stillness, and wellness come together to offer guests a complete reboot!
The moment I entered the property, I felt an immediate shift in energy. The noise of city life dissolved into open skies, the blues of the swimming pool, an almost zero AQI, and a whiff of calmness that comes from being surrounded by untouched wilderness. Spread across a vast landscape, the resort feels expansive yet intimate, luxurious yet grounded. It is the kind of place where you instinctively slow down.
Architecture and Interiors – This property is luxury blended with heritage-inspired aesthetics and modern comfort. Traditional arches, earthy textures, and elegant stonework give it a warm Rajasthani soul, while large windows and spacious interiors allow nature to remain a constant presence. Everywhere you look, there is a view—rolling hills, open skies, landscaped greens, or peaceful corners designed for quiet reflection.
Rooms – The rooms are spacious and serene, with soft interiors, and are ideal for those who value privacy. Suites and Ellwood Cottages bring the outdoors right to your window, where mornings begin with birdsong and evenings end under starlit skies. Forest Villas offer panoramic views of the Aravalli Hills, while the Family Suite features private lawns and outdoor showers with a touch of luxury. There is a softness to the stay here—nothing feels rushed, crowded, or overstated.
But what truly sets Akashganga Heritage Hills Resort apart is its potential as a wellness destination in the wilderness.
Spa & Wellness Centre – Today’s luxury traveller is no longer searching only for chandeliers and lavish buffets. We are searching for better sleep, clearer minds, emotional reset, and time away from overstimulation. This property understands that beautifully. The natural setting itself feels therapeutic. Experience an immersive wellness escape with impressive Oriental massages, soothing bath rituals, and healing Ayurveda therapies. Reboot with customised yoga retreats, detox weekends, and stress-recovery stays.
My Usual Day Spend – It’s an amalgamation of wellness and leisure. I loved my morning walks through the hills, deep breathing in clean air, quiet sunsets, and late evenings spent in the pool with never-ending mocktails and hydration drinks. I enjoyed delicious, healthy, and low-calorie meals, the expansive sit-down lunch with the property owners on my first day at the resort, sightseeing and excursions during the daytime, open spaces, indoor and outdoor games with friends, and sipping coffee and tea in the lounge areas without feeling forced into activity. Evening cycling through scenic trails was one of the best activities to indulge in. I was in my own space—reading in silence and doing nothing at all. We danced like there was no tomorrow at the discotheque on the terrace and spent time sharing stories by the bonfire. Every experience melted away urban stress.
Restaurants and Dining at the resort are equally enjoyable. Thikree offers a comfortable all-day dining experience with global flavours, while Nirvana focuses on Indian regional cuisine, from spicy Rajasthani delights to rich North Indian curries and tangy South Indian coastal flavours. For those with a sweet tooth, Dee-Lish adds a delightful touch of indulgence. I particularly loved the idea of Verandah, the open-air dining space where we indulged in local evening snacks and tea while swinging, singing, and soaking in the surrounding landscape.
Mr. Dhaval Patel, Mr. Brijesh Patel, and Mr. Dhaval Solanki, the three founders, deserve a special mention for their humble nature and heart-winning hospitality. The entire team at Akashganga is super warm, attentive, and genuinely eager to make the stay comfortable. Their sincerity in service has left a lasting impression.
Akashganga Heritage Hills Resort & Spa does not scream luxury—it whispers it. Through space, silence, thoughtfully designed rooms and architecture, fresh air, and emotional comfort.
For couples seeking reconnection, families wanting a peaceful getaway, professionals needing a reset, or wellness travellers searching for something beyond crowded spa towns, this property offers a compelling escape.
I arrived expecting a resort stay. I left feeling restored. That, to me, is the finest review any property can earn.
