The For-Rest Resort Kelva Saphale

📍 Location – Hidden, Yet Just Close Enough

Located in the Kelva–Saphale region of Palghar district, The For-Rest Resort sits quietly away from the buzz, yet close to attractions like Kelva Beach, Shitladevi Temple, and Kelva Fort. Just a few hours’ drive from Mumbai, it’s the kind of place you can disappear to for the weekend—and wish you didn’t have to come back from.

🌿 Ambience – Forest Feels with Soulful Silence

As the name suggests, The For-Rest Resort is designed to mimic the calmness of a forest retreat. Tall trees, open green lawns, soft ambient lighting, and bamboo walkways make you feel like you’re in your own little nature capsule.

Here, the mornings are misty, the afternoons are breezy, and the nights are silent—with only the sounds of crickets and wind rustling through leaves. It’s not just scenic—it’s healing.

🛏️ Stay – Cozy, Clean & Carefully Designed

The rooms and cottages here are a blend of minimalist comfort and rustic charm. Whether you’re a solo traveler, couple, or family, there’s something for everyone:

• AC Cottages and Standard Rooms with tasteful interiors

• Wooden accents and large windows that bring in natural light

• Clean bathrooms, soft bedding, and garden views

• Hammocks or sit-outs outside some rooms

You won’t find gold-plated taps or flat-screen TVs here—and honestly, you won’t even miss them.

🍽️ Food – Slow-Cooked, Local & Full of Love

The in-house kitchen at The For-Rest Resort celebrates Konkan flavors and farm-style cooking. Meals are fresh, often seasonal, and made to nourish.

Expect:

• Veg and non-veg thalis

• Freshly prepared fish, chicken, and local veggie dishes

• Breakfasts like poha, upma, omelets, and filter coffee

• Bonfire BBQs and group dinners on request

It’s not a restaurant. It’s food that feels like it came from someone’s home kitchen—warm, simple, and satisfying.
