Absolute Hotel Services India (AHS India) has announced the signing of a Hotel Management Consultancy Services Agreement with Moksh Organic and Wellness Retreat LLP for The White Resort & Spa, Pawna, located in Lonavala, Maharashtra. Following this agreement, the resort is set to reopen in February 2026 after completing a structured handover and comprehensive operational transition.
As part of the upcoming phase, the resort will introduce 75 thoughtfully designed guest rooms that actively combine comfort, tranquility, and uninterrupted views of the Sahyadri hills. In addition, the property will feature an all-day dining restaurant that will serve a carefully curated menu inspired by both global cuisines and local flavors, thereby enhancing the overall guest experience.
Moreover, wellness will remain a core focus of the resort’s positioning, as the development will include a full-service spa along with a modern fitness center to help guests relax and rejuvenate in a serene natural setting. At the same time, the resort will actively cater to the growing demand for events and celebrations by offering flexible function and event spaces suitable for intimate gatherings, corporate off-sites, destination weddings, and large-scale social occasions. Consequently, The White Resort & Spa has already emerged as a highly desirable lakeside venue in the Pawna–Lonavala region.
Under the consultancy mandate, AHS India will take charge of the entire pre-opening and transition process. Specifically, the team will conduct operational audits, implement system upgrades, develop the Annual Operating Plan, and monitor sales and marketing performance. Furthermore, AHS India will oversee financial controls, ensure regulatory compliance, and provide asset management support. To maintain momentum and alignment, the consulting team will carry out regular site visits alongside continuous virtual consultations, ensuring a smooth and efficient ramp-up toward reopening.
Sharing his perspective on the partnership, Sameer Dharkar, Managing Director of Absolute Hotel Services India, said, “We are delighted to partner with Moksh Organic and Wellness Retreat LLP on the evolution of The White Resort & Spa, Pawna. This project embodies the growing appetite for meaningful, wellness-focused hospitality in India’s key leisure destinations. Our consulting engagement will ensure the property enters its next phase with strong operational foundations, a disciplined financial structure, and a compelling market strategy. We look forward to supporting the owners in unlocking the full potential of this beautiful resort.”
The collaboration between AHS India and Moksh Organic and Wellness Retreat LLP marks a significant step in strengthening premium wellness-led hospitality in Maharashtra. With a strong consulting framework, a clear market vision, and a focus on experiential guest offerings, The White Resort & Spa, Pawna, aims to emerge as a standout leisure and destination events property upon its reopening in 2026.
