richness of the elements of nature.

large open viridian farmlands are just some of nature’s showpieces that await
you at V Resorts.
The Gateway Resort Damdama Lake
Gurgaon – 
India’s first Gateway branded resort, it is aptly designed keeping the
urban nomad in mind, the nature resort aims at providing a destination away
from the city, within the natural setting of a nearby lake and the surrounding
Aravali range of mountains.
The resort is designed as a
weekend retreat and reflective of the natural atmosphere it is located in. The
design is eco-friendly. The existing site, an erstwhile botanical garden, was
densely planted with large trees and shrubs.The ‘horticulture survey’ of the
land documented 1,790 full-grown trees of varying heights and girths. The first
design decision was to retain the full-grown trees and evolve an architectural,
interior and landscape design around these.
The Gateway Resort Damdama Lake recreates a feel of a
‘walk in a garden’. The guest is made to wander through the resort alternately
moving between interior and exterior spaces, thus, always maintaining a
connection with the landscaped outdoors. The interior spaces are separated from
the outdoor courtyards (with existing trees) by large sheets of glass.
Te Aroha, Dhanachuli –
A refreshing
take in vacationing comes in the form of a quaint hill station, Dhanachuli. The quiet hillock breathes fresh air and gives
vacationers uncountable reasons to enjoy. Located approximately 7000 ft above
sea level, this quaint hill station has exactly what your summer
getaway requires – a breathtaking scenery with astounding weather.
Just a kilometer beyond the main
market of Dhanachuli is perched Te Aroha – Magnificence beyond compare.
Synonymous with classic heritage and a magnificent view of the mountain ranges,
this place is a winner. The summer colonial house owned by Mr. Sumant Batra is
now converted into a boutique luxury hotel which is the perfect getaway for
families and buzy corporates who love experimenting with new destinations.
