ZEIV HERMITAGE RESORT DEHRADUN

Zeiv Hermitage Resort sits in Maldevta, one of those green pockets just outside Dehradun where the Himalayan foothills start to feel real - mountain views, river proximity, and enough open space that a dog can actually stretch out and breathe. The resort offers cottage-style rooms, deluxe rooms, family rooms, and standard rooms, all with attached bathrooms, TV, high-speed Wi-Fi, and geysers. It's a legitimately comfortable base for a pet-friendly weekend without having to sacrifice on amenities.

The Setting: Why Maldevta Works for Dog Travellers

Maldevta is one of those rare spots within easy reach of Dehradun city that still feels genuinely rural. The resort is surrounded by mountain landscapes and is close to the Rispana river area, which means room to roam without driving hours. For dog parents who don't want to commit to a long mountain road trip but still want their dog to have a proper outdoor experience, this is a practical middle ground. The property itself has gardens and open grounds, and the surrounding Maldevta area is popular for nature walks - all of which translates well for a dog who needs movement.

The Property: What You're Actually Getting

The resort runs a multi-cuisine restaurant serving Indian, Chinese, and Tandoori dishes - so you won't need to leave the property for meals. There's a swimming pool, spa, yoga, gym, and an activity centre on-site. Google reviews sit at 4.8 from 62 reviews, with guests consistently calling out the warmth of the staff and quality of the food. Check-in is at 14:00, check-out at 12:00. Free Wi-Fi is available across the property. The conference room and reading lounge are there if you're mixing a workation with a pet trip.

What to Sort Before You Arrive

Pet charges are not yet confirmed in our records - call the property on 089583 92468 or check their website before booking. Also confirm whether your dog is permitted inside your specific room category, as the in-room pet policy has not been verified. That said, the resort's location away from dense traffic, its open grounds, and the general Maldevta terrain make it one of the more naturally suited resort settings for dogs near Dehradun. Shuttle service is available if you need transfers.
