WEEKEND GETAWAYS
Need a break from the daily grind and chaotic city traffic? Take some time off and head to a farmstay where you can stretch your legs, laze around, eat organic fruits and savour sumptuous delicacies amidst serene surroundings. It’s the perfect way to relax and recoup over a weekend! Check out this selection of top five farmstays in and around Gurgaon that come with all modern-day creature comforts and much more.
When you leave behind the Gurgaon metropolis and enter this lush green farm villa, you’ll be greeted by pigeons, squirrels and butterflies. The tall trees in this well-manicured 2-acre farmstay provide shade as you prepare to take a dip in the pool. One look at the Bhutanese carpets, beautiful artworks, exquisite sculptures and tasteful artefacts, and you know you’ve made the right choice. In this blissful duplex bungalow, stay in either of the two large suites (one on each level), where large bay windows afford gorgeous views. Once you’re done admiring your surroundings, there is a pool table, a mini library, a bridge table, a jacuzzi and a beautiful bar where you can indulge yourself.
Even before you begin to shift positions in the car, you’d have arrived at Aravali Vista Farm. Relax in the intimate surroundings of your own private sanctuary, sit with your cup of morning tea and watch the sun rise. This farm is perfect to go to with friends and de-stress over beers by the pool. If the sportsman in you is craving some action, then Aravali Vista is your haven — you can play board games, or sweat it out over a friendly game of basketball, volleyball, golf and even horse riding.
