Xanadu Resort's Conference Hall brings professional meeting infrastructure to one of Kumaon's most scenic corners — Majkhali, a quiet village in the Almora district of Uttarakhand. Perched in the lower Himalayan foothills, the resort sits amid oak and rhododendron forests with sweeping views of the snow-capped Himalayan range, including peaks such as Nanda Devi. The Conference Hall channels this tranquil, distraction-free environment into a purposeful meeting and events space, making it a genuine alternative to city-based venues for organisations that want their teams thinking clearly rather than navigating urban congestion.
The setting itself is a deliberate part of the experience. Away from the noise and interruptions of a metro location, delegates arrive already more relaxed, and the surrounding natural landscape — forest trails, open skies, and crisp mountain air — provides a restorative backdrop between sessions. This combination of natural calm and structured facilities is what distinguishes the Conference Hall at Xanadu Resort from mainstream city conference venues.
The Conference Hall is designed to support a range of professional formats: corporate offsites, leadership retreats, strategy workshops, training programmes, product launches, and small-to-medium conferences. The room can be configured to suit different session styles — whether a classroom arrangement for structured learning, a boardroom layout for senior leadership meetings, or a theatre setup for presentations to a larger audience. The hall is equipped to handle the technical requirements of modern business events, including audio-visual support, a projection or screen setup, and reliable connectivity — all essentials for a venue catering to corporate clients who cannot afford downtime.
Beyond the hall itself, the resort's open-air areas and landscaped grounds offer space for team-building activities, outdoor sessions, and informal networking — extending the event experience well beyond four walls. This integration of indoor meeting space with outdoor resort amenities is a key reason event planners choose Xanadu for multi-day corporate retreats and leadership programmes.
Majkhali sits at roughly 1,800 metres above sea level in the Almora district, approximately 15 kilometres from Ranikhet and within comfortable driving distance of Kathgodam railway station, which is the nearest major railhead connecting the region to Delhi and other plains cities. The nearest airport is Pantnagar, which receives flights from Delhi. For groups travelling by road, the resort is accessible via well-maintained hill routes from Kathgodam, with the journey offering its own scenic reward through the Kumaon foothills.
The Majkhali location means the Conference Hall is genuinely removed from the distractions of city life — making it ideal for events where focus, team cohesion, and creative thinking are the goals. The resort's accommodation ensures that multi-day programmes can be delivered entirely on property, eliminating the logistical complexity of shuttling delegates between hotels and venues. For event planners seeking a mountain retreat that does not compromise on meeting-room professionalism, the Conference Hall at Xanadu Resort makes a compelling case.

Xanadu Resort in Majkhali is situated in the lower Himalayan foothills at approximately 1,800 metres above sea level, with views of the snow-capped Himalayan range including peaks such as Nanda Devi. The natural surroundings — oak and rhododendron forests, open skies, and mountain air — contribute to the calm, focused atmosphere that many corporate groups seek when choosing a retreat venue away from city environments.
Majkhali is a quiet village in the Almora district, roughly 15 kilometres from Ranikhet, offering a setting that is genuinely removed from urban noise and distractions. Corporate groups often find that the mountain environment — clean air, natural surroundings, and an absence of city interruptions — leads to more focused discussions and stronger team engagement over multi-day events. It is an intentional trade of metropolitan convenience for the productivity benefits of a calmer, more immersive setting.
Resorts of this nature typically provide in-house catering for conference guests, and Xanadu Resort's setting as a full-service resort suggests food and beverage would be managed on property. Specific menus, dietary options, and catering packages for your event group should be discussed with the resort team at the enquiry stage.
The Conference Hall can be arranged in a boardroom configuration, making it appropriate for senior leadership discussions and strategy sessions. The resort's secluded Majkhali location also adds a degree of privacy that many organisations value for high-level internal meetings, away from the interruptions common in city venues.
Uttarakhand's Kumaon region generally enjoys pleasant conditions from March to June and again from September to November, making these months popular for corporate retreats to Majkhali. Monsoon months (July–August) can bring heavy rainfall in the hills, while winters (December–February) can be cold at altitude. The resort team can advise on what to expect in any given season based on your planned event dates.
