Jewel In The Crown

Forty-five minutes away from the national capital is a green island of serenity, ensconced in the green Aravalis. A 158-key resort, the newly launched Courtyard by Marriott Aravali Resort is a welcome addition to the staycation destinations for residents of Delhi-NCR.

A magnificent setting, panoramic views, a picture-perfect pool, restful rooms and delicious food less than an hour’s drive from the capital – the latest offering from the Marriot Group can without exaggeration be called the last word in an urban resort experience.

With the post-pandemic reality of hybrid work modes and the expectation of 24/7 digital availability, workations, staycations and quick weekend getaways have assumed greater relevance and significance in our lives. The trend of ‘revenge travel’ continues to grow with people wanting to get to the nearest destination after being cooped up during the pandemic.

And the travel and hospitality world has stepped up to address and capitalise on this need. Rajneesh Kumar, General Manager, Courtyard by Marriott Aravali Resort says, “Courtyard by Marriott Aravali Resort is the perfect getaway destination - the location, the layout and the amenities offer an elegant solution for residents of Delhi and nearby areas.

A bubble of beauty 

Launched in July this year, Courtyard by Marriott’s first resort in India sits pretty just beyond Badkhal and Nawada villages, about 45 minutes from Indira Gandhi International Airport. Though guests are greeted on arrival with Marriot’s famed service, they can be excused for having eyes only on the spectacular attraction of the property – the three-tiered turquoise pool that pulses at the centre of the property. The unique sunken lobby offers a clear unhindered view of the pool which guests can enjoy as they complete their check-in formalities.
