Della Adventure Resort and Spa: an exclusive address

Della offers 5 exceptional experiences across its property, namely Adventure theme park with a luxury resort, camp stay, luxury villas, a wedding destination and banquets for corporate or personal events.

Della Adventure Resort and Spa is the only resort to offer an unheard indulgence of having a 24-hr functioning high-end Spa and Salon, Pool and Fitness Centre, Fudge and Chiki store, along with Roundthe- Clock In-Room Dining. ” Jimmy Mistry, Principal Designer & MD at Della Group, informed that the group are currently expanding the number of villas, banquet halls, resort rooms and suites to accommodate the growing numbers of visitors.

Speaking about the USP of Della Adventure Resort and Spa, Mistry said, “Our adventure park is our best attraction, and while it might be popular with groups of friends or families for a day-visit or weekend getaway, it also a highly preferred MICE destination. We have about 29 team building activities which are far moved from the routine table-chair-sticks set up. They are hard-core infrastructures like obstacle courses designed on the line of the Swiss alps, a paintball match setup, zip lines, group cycling and much more.” Unlike standard adventure parks and MICE destinations where food is of secondary importance, we ensure that people also have a memorable gastronomic experience, and focus on hospitality as well as F&B, said Mistry. Fine cigars, nitrogen ice cream, nuclear bhel, choicest cocktails, are some of the elements which make their F&B experiences an unforgettable affair.

The resort’s signature Villas offer people a fully-equipped luxury second home. Those who own these villas have access to all the facilities on the resort, making convenience the key word here. The villas can also be maintained by the group for an additional fee, so they can drop in whenever they wish to and all their needs will be taken care of.
