During your stay at Irayos, you can go for a walk in our organic farm, take a spa therapy, dip in the pool and even venture out to see nearby attractions in Dahanu.

Dahanu is a picturesque coastal town in the Palghar district, flanked on the West by the Arabian Sea and on the East by the magnificent Sahyadri range. This unique combination has made Dahanu a major tourist attraction. Dahanu is a major centre of Warli Art and is also famous for sprawling Chickoo and Litchi wadis and pristine beaches. The concierge desk will assist you with list of attractions and put together a plan to best suit your interest. 

At Irayos, 10 acres of sprawling greens make for the the best farm walk experience for the guests. If they want, they can plant or adopt an already planted tree. The tree is then forever named after the guest and the staff of the retreat would look after it. This way, the guests can make memories, have something to remember Irayos by and a reason to visit again, along with a small contribution to the environment and the beauty of the place as well.

Warli is one of the oldest forms of Indian folk art and has its origins in the Warli region of Maharashtra. This region encompasses cities such as Dahanu, Talasari, Jawhar, Palghar, Mokhada, and Vikramgad of Palghar district. Irayos has conducted Warli art workshops in the past, in the open areas, activity room, pool side etc. and they were big hits. Guests like to spend time with their loved ones, learning a new art, and then take the painting home when they leave the retreat as a souvenir from the place. This also gives them something to remember Irayos by, something that they can cherish forever as a happy memory.  Please get in touch with us to know when the next Warli Art workshops are scheduled.

We host live events in order to bring the guests together to have a sort of celebration, with the aim of growing an understanding of the community living in them. It gives everyone an opportunity to meet and interact with others, build relationships and have memorable fun time with their loved ones. These gatherings are mellow in nature and aim to bring harmony among the attendees. Please reach out to us if you'd like to organize or perform any live events at our retreat.

Visit the infamous Dahanu beach stretched across the coasts of Palgarh district in Maharashtra. Dahanu Beach is located in Dahanu taluka of Palghar district. It is spread over a distance of 17 km. Not only for its extensive and tidy beach, Dahanu is also known for its vast Chikoo fruit orchids. Although, it is quite warm during summer, the gentle breeze cools down the entire beach. Mecca of the Zoroastrians is a place, which is very popular amongst tourists as there is a magnificent temple, which houses the sacred fire of the Zoroastrians. The existence of Iranian and Persian cultures further makes this place more exotic.
