I have never received such warmth and hospitality from any hotel, resort, or retreat before. The staff proactively helped us plan our day and find great spots to hike to. Their attentiveness made us feel like we were the only ones and they couldn’t wait to attend to us. The food was excellent, with all cuisines. Everyone must try their Dham (the Himachali sub-cuisine), but if you don’t have a big appetite you should break it up over a few days. This was our first trip since the pandemic started so we didn’t think we would spend any time indoors, but the location itself is so beautiful that you can take a day off and just enjoy the scenery around the retreat. There are mountains and hills visibly close on all sides, and orchards everywhere. The entire retreat has interiors made of Deodar wood which keeps you warm and the natural fragrance keeps your refreshed. The rooms are spacious with all amenities you might need.

Staying at the retreat was truly one of the highlights of our trip and we can’t wait to return to Manali and Urvashi’s Retreat. More

  Being a regular to Manali, i have stayed from the log huts to good old Ambassador to span, Himalaya etc etc. this place was a pleasant surprise. A warm welcome,... read more quick check in, excellently appointed large size rooms (unlike in hills) and bathroom. If one is looking for a serene and posh holiday this is the place. Since property is owned by a Rajasthani Royal family hospitality is in the blood. Carry your own booze they light a bonfire on request. Rest take it as it comes.... two pointers : they have a pool table not billiards. Secondly given everything is great ... food is quiet average and can be improved.
