On the edge of a 500 ft cliff overlooking the entire Khandala Ghat, surrounded by hills and waterfalls, is the expansive and luxurious Dukes Retreat. This premier three star resort with five star amenities in Khandala boasts breathtaking view as well as warm hospitality and best in class services that can be enjoyed in a friendly and relaxing environment.

Dukes Retreat, which is managed by Keys Hotels, Resorts & Apartments, gets it name from ‘Dukes Nose’, a majestic cliff on the Sahyadri range of mountains facing the hotel. Its naming goes back to the British Regime, when Khandala was a haven for the British Governors. Dukes Nose was so named after the Duke of Wellington who spent his holidays in Khandala. When observed with a wink, the cliff looks like the Duke is lying back and taking a nap. However, the locals call the cliff ‘Nagfani’ because of its resemblance to the hood of cobra.

Conveniently located at 100 km from Mumbai, 65 km from Pune, 15 minutes drive from the popular Lonavala and 2 km from nearest railhead Khandala, Dukes Retreat is a favoured destination for weekend getaways, conferences and weddings.
