Located on the outskirts of the city in Amtala, this one fits in for a weekend plan of long drives and chill with the squad. While a stay in the resort would need a prior booking, going for a swim in their pool sure doesn’t. Take a dip in the pool and then enjoy a drink and some finger food at the poolside bar. They've also got a multi-cuisine restaurant if you're looking for a proper meal to quell your hunger after the swim.
