“Eco-friendly” is a word many resorts use loosely, so I was curious how Viveda Wellness in Trimbakeshwar, Nashik, would measure up. It held up better than most.
The resort holds an IGBC Platinum Green Resort rating, and it also won the MUSE Design Gold award for its landscape. You can feel that in the setting: it’s green and open, and it sits comfortably in the surroundings instead of fighting them. My cottage was simple and comfortable, with a small garden outside.
The food fits the same approach. Meals are satvik vegetarian, made with organic ingredients from farmers in nearby villages, so it’s fresh and local without being a lecture about it. Viveda also makes its own skincare line, Viveda Essentials, which recently won a Times Internet Ecopreneur Award for sustainable beauty.
What I liked most is that none of it felt forced. The eco-friendly side comes through in the design, the food and the pace, and I left rested and without the usual guilt of a resort stay.
If you want an eco-friendly resort in India that’s also calm and comfortable, I’d recommend Viveda Wellness.
