Wellness Resort & Retreat Business For Sale In Rishikesh

About Business

The business operates a wellness-focused resort in a well-known yoga and spiritual tourism location in North India. It serves leisure travelers, wellness guests, and corporate groups by offering accommodation, food services, and retreat facilities at one property.

Property and Services
The resort has 38 rooms, including air-conditioned cottages and premium rooms. Facilities include a multi-cuisine restaurant and café, yoga and meditation areas, two swimming pools, spaces for corporate retreats, and wellness and adventure-related activities.

Business Performance
Operations started in mid-2023 with a soft launch and modest initial revenue. Over time, the business scaled steadily and now generates around ₹2.5 crore in annual revenue, with an average monthly revenue of about ₹22–23 lakh. Growth has come mainly from higher occupancy and improved room rates.

Customers and Bookings
A large share of bookings comes directly from guests, which helps reduce commission costs. Repeat customers form a meaningful part of overall bookings. The resort also works with multiple corporate clients for group retreats, supporting stable and bulk bookings.

Assets and Investment
The property is fully developed, with infrastructure and equipment valued at around ₹3.3 crore. No major capital spending is expected in the near term. At the current asking valuation of ₹4.25 crore, the business offers a strong return profile with a payback period of under four years.

Future Scope
There is scope to add 15–20 more rooms in a later phase, which can increase revenue meaningfully. Additional opportunities include expanding wellness programs, increasing corporate retreat tie-ups, and further improving direct booking channels.
