Hygiene Concerns
Even with filtration and chlorination, many travelers now prefer to avoid crowded water spaces. The thought of shared surfaces, water contact, and close proximity to strangers has made the pool less inviting for health-conscious guests.
Shift Towards Private Experiences
Post-pandemic, people value privacy and personal space more than ever. Large communal areas like pools often don’t align with this new mindset. Guests are now leaning towards secluded, quiet corners rather than the hustle of a pool deck.
Changing Definitions of Relaxation
Today’s travelers seek wellness, nature, and mindful experiences over purely recreational activities. Being by the mountains, enjoying fresh air, or sipping tea in a lush garden feels more rejuvenating than a crowded swim.

What to Choose Instead of the Pool
At Malsi Mist, we don’t have a swimming pool — and our guests love it that way. Instead, we offer spaces and experiences that help you unwind, connect with nature, and truly relax.
🌿 Nature-Facing Sit-Outs
Breathe in the fresh Doon Valley air while enjoying panoramic views of the hills and forests. These serene spots invite you to pause and soak in the beauty surrounding you.
☕ Chai with a View
Our seating arrangement is perfect for sipping a hot cup of tea or coffee while gazing at the majestic mountains and lush forests. It’s a delightful way to start your day or unwind in the evening.
🚶♂️ Nature Walks & Outdoor Activities
Swap the chlorinated pool water for a walk through lush trails, or simply enjoy the tranquility of our manicured lawns. Each step brings you closer to nature and offers a refreshing escape.
🍽️ Wellness & Flavours
Relish freshly prepared, hygienic meals at Mystique, our restaurant crafted to combine health with indulgence. Each dish is made with care, ensuring a delightful culinary experience.

The New Way to Unwind
The post-COVID era has redefined leisure. It’s no longer about being where everyone is — it’s about finding your own calm. By skipping the pool, you gain the peace of nature, the joy of space, and the comfort of knowing your wellness comes first.
At Malsi Mist, we’ve embraced this new travel mindset. Here, every moment is crafted to be safe, soulful, and scenic — no pool required. Our focus is on creating a serene escape that allows you to reconnect with yourself and the natural world.

Nature is a powerful healer. Spending time outdoors can rejuvenate your spirit and refresh your mind. At Malsi Mist, we encourage you to immerse yourself in the beauty of the Doon Valley. Whether it’s a quiet morning on your balcony or an afternoon stroll through our gardens, nature is always within reach.
Mindfulness and Relaxation
In today’s fast-paced world, taking time to unwind is essential. Mindfulness practices can enhance your relaxation experience. Consider starting your day with meditation or yoga amidst the tranquil surroundings. These practices can help center your thoughts and promote a sense of peace.
