A successful offsite begins with a clear objective. Once the team knows what it wants to achieve, choosing the right venue, facilities, and activities becomes easier.
- Travel Time: Shorter journeys leave more time for meetings, particularly during single-day or 2-day offsites
- Meeting Space: The venue should accommodate the group comfortably, with reliable Wi-Fi and suitable catering
- Downtime: Pools, walks, and shared meals give colleagues opportunities to connect outside formal sessions
- Accommodation: On-site rooms eliminate transfers between the meeting venue and the place of stay
Athiva Pulse and Athiva Resort & Spa, Khandala, meet these requirements in different ways. The choice comes down to whether the team prioritises city convenience or a change of setting.
Athiva Pulse, in Vashi, suits teams looking for a convenient city venue for meetings, corporate gatherings, and focused work sessions. Its location offers access to the railway station and nearby business districts, including Airoli, Turbhe, Ghansoli, and CBD Belapur.
Our business lounges, meeting spaces, and banquet facilities support a range of corporate requirements. Gourmet catering and Wi-Fi help teams stay connected throughout the working day, whether the agenda includes presentations, discussions, or collaborative sessions.
An offsite does not have to end when the last meeting wraps up. At Athiva Pulse, The Daily Club offers 30,000 sq. ft. of wellness and recreation space. Facilities include an open-to-sky swimming pool, a fitness centre, Sky Ball courts on the terrace, and Spa by Athiva therapies.
For larger corporate events, Athiva Pulse offers versatile spaces to bring teams together, with Unison Banquets & Pre-function Area spanning 7,500 sq. ft. and Celestial Terrace providing 15,000 sq. ft. for gatherings. Its location also makes travel convenient for out-of-town attendees, with Navi Mumbai International Airport approximately 13 km away, or around 28 minutes by road, depending on traffic and route conditions.

For teams exploring team-building activities in Mumbai, a short retreat beyond the city can offer a refreshing change of pace. Athiva Resort & Spa, Khandala, provides a setting surrounded by the Western Ghats, making it suitable for residential corporate offsites that combine meetings with opportunities to unwind. With accommodation, meeting facilities, and leisure options in one location, teams can plan a programme that balances focused discussions with time together.
Our resort features 147 rooms and suites, alongside a 6,000 sq. ft. Lotus Ballroom. The ballroom forms part of more than 20,000 sq. ft. of indoor and outdoor event space. Business lounges, meeting facilities, gourmet catering, and Wi-Fi support the working day, while the surrounding landscape offers a different pace between sessions.

A change of scenery can give teams room to reconnect beyond the meeting table. The open-to-sky swimming pool and spa provide options for unwinding, while the surrounding hills offer opportunities for walks and hikes, depending on weather and group preferences. Teams can also explore nearby attractions, including Della Adventure Park and the Karla and Bhaja caves. These outings can add variety to a multi-day programme, with the itinerary tailored to the group's interests and available time.
For teams looking to include organised team-building activities, the resort's events team can help confirm availability and arrangements before the schedule is finalised. Khandala is approximately 84-86 km from Mumbai, with the drive typically taking around 1 hour 40 minutes to 2 hours, depending on traffic and the route. Travelling from Vashi may take less time, although the journey will vary with road conditions.
