What Makes It Awesome

This quaint resort in Mahabs is something you probably have never seen before. The Village Retreat is a network of 25 rooms that are all connected by a massive swimming pool.

To begin with, they have a really cute kiddies play area for all toddlers to spend the day, going for merry-go-rounds or the jungle gym. You can even play an exciting game of paintball in their arena. Learn surfing in their mechanical surfing simulator or go scuba diving in the depths of Bay of Bengal. They also have a giant chess set with pawns as big as a stool. The Village Retreat even has a mechanical rodeo bull that will keep you shrieking as long as you are still mounted on it!
