Della Resorts, the brainchild of design futurist and entrepreneur Jimmy Mistry, has solidified its position as India’s premier destination for experiential luxury. Spanning over 50 acres in the scenic hills of Lonavala, the resort is a masterclass in blending high-end design with adventure, gastronomy, and wellness. It serves as a flagship for a new era of “salutogenic” living—design that actively enhances physical and mental well-being.
