Escape to Paradise: Uncover the Hidden Gem of Dehradun's Bluewind Resort
Escape to Paradise: Bluewind Resort - Dehradun's Undiscovered Treasure (Or, The Time My Soul Found a Sauna and I Found a Really Good Chai)
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because I'm about to spill the tea (and maybe a little bit of the spa water) on the Bluewind Resort in Dehradun. Forget those sterile, cookie-cutter hotel reviews – this is gonna be raw, real, and hopefully, convince you to ditch your routine and book a stay. Seriously, you need this.
Let's be honest, finding a true 'escape' these days feels harder than parallel parking in a clown car. But boy oh boy, Bluewind is trying. And let me tell you, they're succeeding in a LOT of ways.
First Impressions… and the Quest for Chai (Accessibility, Getting There & Arrival)
Getting to the resort is a breeze – you're in Dehradun, so it's not like you're conquering Everest just to check-in. They offer airport transfer, which, let's be honest, is a lifesaver after a long flight. Car park [free of charge] and car park [on-site] mean parking your own ride is no problem either, and if you're feeling fancy (or just plain tired), there's valet parking. Now, regarding accessibility, they’ve got facilities for disabled guests and an elevator, which is fantastic to see – inclusivity is a big win in my book.
Okay, so picture this: you arrive, slightly frazzled, maybe battling a caffeine withdrawal. The first thing your bleary eyes lock onto? The front desk, a well-oiled machine of efficiency. Contactless check-in/out is a definite plus in these post-pandemic times (thank you, Bluewind!). Now, I'm a sucker for a good lobby – always have been. And this one? Beautiful. I swear, the air smells of relaxation. Okay, maybe I imagined that part. BUT. Then, this… this is the moment. I spotted the lobby coffee shop. And you know what they had? Coffee/tea in restaurant. Cue the angels singing. But listen to me. They serve a Chai. And people, it was some of the best Chai I’ve ever put in my mouth. Seriously. Like, "make me forget all my troubles and just sit here all day" good. My first impression? Bluewind understood the assignment, and the importance of quality Caffeine to a human.
Rooms: Comfort and the Absence of Creepy Wallpaper (Available in All Rooms & General Atmosphere)
Let's get real. A hotel room can make or break a trip. The Bluewind rooms? They're comfortable, clean, and crucially, they don't have that weird, musty smell of some hotels. They have a pretty impressive list under available in all rooms, so i will just get to the ones that i really loved and appreciated. The air conditioning worked like a dream, the blackout curtains were a game-changer for sleep – thank you, dark gods! – and the slippers were a lovely touch. I really appreciated the free bottled water (Hydration is key, people!) and the Wi-Fi [free] (Because, let's be honest, we all need to check our Instagram once in a while, right?). They also have a desk AND a laptop workspace which i found incredible for a stay of more than 1 day. Also, my room had a window that opens. Don't take it for granted!
My room? It was like a haven of tranquility. I really enjoyed the bathrobes, they definitely make you feel like you're in the lap of luxury, and the separate shower/bathtub meant no more awkward shower-while-trying-not-to-drown moments. And of course, the toiletries are provided! So I didn't have to pack my whole bathroom (yay!).
Food Glorious Food (Dining, Drinking, and Snacking)
Okay, let's talk food. Forget those sad, lukewarm buffet breakfasts of the past. Bluewind? They actually care about what you eat. The Breakfast [buffet] was expansive, with a good selection of Asian breakfast options and Western breakfast options. I’ve already mentioned my love for the Chai - and the Coffee/tea in restaurant, but there were so many more choices!
But that's not all! They've got a vegetarian restaurant, multiple restaurants, and yes… a poolside bar! The poolside bar is my happy place. Imagine sitting by the water, sipping an ice-cold drink, and contemplating the meaning of life. (Or, you know, just admiring the view). They also have room service [24-hour], because sometimes you just want to lounge in your robe and order a pizza at 2 am, right? We've all been there.
My Spa Story (Ways to Relax)
Now. Let's get to the good stuff. The Spa. This is where Bluewind truly shines. I love myself a good spa. My expectations are probably way too high now. But oh boy! The Spa is unreal. Like, seriously unreal.
Let's start with the basics: massage, sauna, steamroom, and a foot bath. But it's the details that elevate this experience. The therapists are skilled, the atmosphere is serene, and you walk out feeling like you’ve shed ten years and a few pounds of stress. I opted for the body wrap. I walked in hunched over and stressed. I walked out feeling like I could take on the world. (Or at least, the next episode of my favourite Netflix show). I want to return, just to experience the pool with view again.
Cleanliness, Safety, and the Covid-19 Era (Cleanliness and safety)
Bluewind takes hygiene seriously, which is absolutely vital. They offer Anti-viral cleaning products, Cashless payment service, Daily disinfection in common areas, Hand sanitizer, Hygiene certification, Individually-wrapped food options, Physical distancing of at least 1 meter, Professional-grade sanitizing services, Rooms sanitized between stays, Safe dining setup, Sanitized kitchen and tableware items, Staff trained in safety protocol. I felt confident, safe, and ready to relax knowing the resort was doing its best to ensure the safety of its guests.
Beyond the Room: Things to Do (Things to do)
So, what else is there to do? Well, if you're feeling energetic, they have a Fitness center where you can work off all those delicious meals. They've got Swimming pool [outdoor] – perfect for a refreshing dip. And for those who need to get some business done, they have a business center with meeting/banquet facilities and business facilities.
The Little Extras: Services and Conveniences
Bluewind is full of little touches that make a difference. The daily housekeeping is impeccable, the concierge is helpful, and the luggage storage is a lifesaver when you're waiting for your flight. They also have a gift/souvenir shop, which is handy for picking up a last-minute present (or treating yourself!).
For the Family (For the kids)
If you're traveling with kids, Bluewind has got you covered. They have babysitting service and kids facilities.
The Verdict: Book It Now!
Look, I could go on and on about the Bluewind Resort. But the bottom line is this: it's an escape. It's a place to unwind, recharge, and reconnect with yourself. From the moment I arrived, I felt a sense of calm – a feeling that lingered throughout my stay.
So, if you're looking for a getaway that's both relaxing and rejuvenating, book your stay at the Bluewind Resort. You won't regret it. Trust me. You'll be ordering Chai like a pro in no time. And if you see me there? Buy me a second cup.

The Bluewind Blues: Dehradun Detox & Delight (Maybe… Probably Not Really Detox)
Day 1: Arrival, Anxiety, and Awesome Momos (Thank God for Momos)
- Morning (ish): Arrive at Jolly Grant Airport. Ugh, airports. They're like giant, fluorescent-lit purgatories filled with overpriced coffee and the existential dread of delayed flights. Luckily, the Bluewind Resort shuttle was waiting, and the driver, bless his heart, navigated the Dehradun traffic like a seasoned Formula 1 racer. Seriously, I think he honked his way into my heart.
- Afternoon: Check-in. The lobby is all polished wood and hushed murmurs of wealthy families. I, however, feel like I’ve just stumbled in from a mud wrestling match. My baggage looks like it's been through a war. The room is nice, though. Clean, airy. The view? Spectacular – a panorama of the rolling hills surrounding Dehradun. I could get used to this. Could. Immediately proceeded to panic about the Wi-Fi password (I need to stay connected, I can't get off the grid!!).
- Late Afternoon: Mandatory exploring. Walked around the resort - it’s HUGE. Found a… yoga pavilion? (Cue nervous twitch). Avoided like the plague. My inner sloth strongly objected.
- Evening: The real reason I came to Dehradun: MOMOS! Located a tiny, hole-in-the-wall place just outside the resort gates. These momos were heavenly. Steaming, spicy, filled with juicy goodness. A complete and utter triumph over my airport-induced anxieties. Ate like a starving wolf. Seriously, I think I inhaled them. Considered ordering a second plate. Restrained myself, which is a minor miracle. Felt a brief, fleeting moment of "I love India!" followed by an immediate craving for a cold beer. The struggle is real, people.
Day 2: Spa Shenanigans, Spiritual Struggles, and a Sizzling Meal (Literally)
- Morning: Okay, spa time. I tried to book a massage, but apparently, there was some kind of "miscommunication." Ended up with a facial. The lady was extremely professional (her name was Priya) and the facial was… okay. (I was secretly hoping she'd fix my eye bags, but no such luck). Feeling cleansed but not particularly zen. I'm more of a "scream into a pillow" kind of person than a "breathe deeply" kind of person.
- Late Morning: After that facial I was feeling a bit smug. So headed towards the yoga. Found like 5 or 6 people doing yoga. I wanted to say "Hey guys, that's enough show off" but my conscience always holds me back. That's ok, I'm still proud I'm still up and alive. Back to the room I guess.
- Afternoon: Attempt at "cultural immersion". Decided to visit Tapkeshwar Temple and Robber's Cave. Tapkeshwar felt… intense. Lots of incense, chanting, and a general sense of things I frankly didn't understand but found fascinating. My inner cynic (who is often quite loud) had to shut up for a few minutes. Robber's Cave was a bit of an anticlimax (more of a trickle than a cave). Still managed to get my shoes soaked. Typical.
- Evening: Dinner at the resort restaurant. Ordered the sizzling platter. It literally sizzled. Quite entertainingly, I might add. The food was good but I couldn’t help but notice a tiny, plastic umbrella in my cocktail. I'm at a point where I just want to drink up and forget everything.
Day 3: Farewell Feast, Fragmented Thoughts, and a Flight Home (Thank God)
- Morning: Breakfast. The breakfast buffet was overwhelming. So many choices! (The anxiety is back). Settled on fruit, and then secretly grabbed three croissants (don't judge me). The coffee was weak. The juice was watered down. This is when I realized I was starting to miss my daily dose of caffeine.
- Afternoon: Checked out. Said goodbye to the beautiful scenery from my room for the last time. The same driver picked me up, and we zoomed on the road again.
- Evening: Dehradun farewell. The last bit of momos. Then a farewell dinner at a fancy restaurant. Finally the flight home. I kept my head down and went back to the airport. It was an end of a journey after all.
Bluewind Resort – The Final Verdict:
- Pros: The scenery is stunning. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful (even though it takes a bit of time to get used to dealing with the language barrier). The momos outside the gate are worth their weight in gold.
- Cons: The Wi-Fi could be better. The yoga pavilion intimidates me. My inner cynicism can be a real pain in the ass, I had to admit it.
- Overall: Would I go back? Maybe. But next time, I'm skipping the spa, getting an extra plate of momos, and bringing a really, really strong cup of coffee.
