Milind’s Hideout is your secret escape from the urban grind — not just another place to stay, but a soulful retreat tucked deep in Dandeli’s lush wilderness.
Far from the usual crowded resorts and predictable stays, this forest-side haven offers two spacious 12-bed cottages for large groups and one cozy 4-bed family suite — perfect for reunions, unhurried mornings, and stories under the stars.
Here, life slows down. Mornings stretch, stories linger, and every meal, from fish curries to coconut-laced veggies, is a home-cooked Konkani treat straight from the heart.
