Often times, the busy schedule of our lives prevents us from that long distance trip. But the thirst for a little change of air must still be quenched. A weekend spent at a quiet retreat, amongst nature can do wonders to the tired mind.
This is exactly what I did this past weekend. A short stay at The Vedic Village Spa Resort turned out to be just the right antidote to the dull monotony of daily routine. A vast, expansive establishment spread across some of the most green and pristine landscape in the suburbs of Kolkata.
Depending on your location in the city, it is just a few hours drive, right outside the city limits. Set up in the last decade, this behemoth of a real estate has become a part of the Bengali lexicon for weekend unwinding.
A meticulously designed mini neighbourhood with villas, riverside bungalows and cottages, the Vedic Village spa resort is a fully functioning world of its own. It is equipped with everything, from gyms to swimming pools, boating canals to banquet halls and bespoke restaurants.
Spreading over 150 acres of land, you can explore this bubble of tranquillity on foot on a leisurely weekend evening. The accommodation comes in all shapes and forms, there are cottages, suites, villas and bungalows.
This time we stayed at the Aqua Villa bungalow. A double storied building, surrounded by gardens, trees and a well-manicured driveway. The quiet lawn at the back is the perfect spot to unwind after a long and hectic week. If the mercury gets too high, there is a rooftop swimming pool that you can take a dip at any time you want.
The green cover of the resort makes it a haven for birdwatchers. Woodpeckers, kingfishers, cranes, and many more whose names I do not know can routinely be seen around the waterfront and gardens. The spread-out layout of the resort facilitates diversity in landscapes.
There are the lake facing villas which are located right at the banks of a canal that runs through the property. There is also a golf course that is being constructed right now and will be a major attraction once it opens to the guests.
Apart from the rooms and excellent restaurants, there are a catalogue of outdoor and indoor activities that you can partake in, during your stay at the Vedic Village Resort. There are of course the usual options like table tennis, carrom, chess and swimming.
The more unconventional options include archery, fishing or angling, ATV and Segway riding. If you are loaded on cash, you can go all out to make your weekend an activity filled bonanza. Or you can just chill by the pool with your favourite drink or go for that peaceful spa session.
All in all, spending a few nights at this oasis of tranquillity will be an experience you will not regret. The cordial staffs, the greenery and the lack of noise pollution all combine to make The Vedic Village Spa Resort the perfect place to decompress our burnt out souls.
