Class Reunion Villas: 9 StayVista Homes That Sleep 20 or More, and What a Reunion Actually Costs Per Head
Nine StayVista class reunion villas currently list a maximum occupancy of 20 or more guests. At their listed nightly rates, the accommodation cost works out to roughly ₹2,056 to ₹4,500 per person per night including GST when the villa is filled to capacity. The cheapest per head are Saket Loak by the Lake in Udaipur (₹2,056) and Princess of Wayanad in Kerala (₹2,060); the priciest are Meluha near Pawna Lake (₹4,500) and The Den in Karjat (₹4,469). The single biggest swing factor is not the villa — it is the GST slab, which doubles from 5% to 18% the moment the tariff crosses ₹7,500 per room per night.

Planning a celebration weekend rather than a reunion? This guide is a cost-splitting exercise for a 20-plus batch travelling across India, often over three to five days. If what you actually want is a short celebration weekend within driving distance of Mumbai or Pune, our guide to party villas near Mumbai and Pune covers that trip properly, with a tighter geographic focus and date-led availability.
How much does a class reunion villa cost per head?
For a group of 20 to 24 people booking the entire property, expect ₹2,000 to ₹4,500 per person per night for accommodation alone, GST included. Add food, transport and add-ons and a realistic two-night reunion lands between ₹7,500 and ₹16,000 per person.
That range holds because of one thing: at 20-plus guests you are dividing a fixed tariff across a lot of people. StayVista’s own per-person cost breakdown of villas versus hotels puts villa stays at ₹1,250–₹3,000 per person per night against ₹2,500–₹5,000 for comparable hotel rooms — a 25 to 45 percent saving for groups of six or more. The homes in this guide sit at the larger, more premium end of that spread, which is why our numbers run a little higher.
The comparison people usually get wrong is the room count. Twenty classmates in a hotel means ten twin rooms and ten separate bills. The same twenty in a whole-home booking means one bill, one kitchen, one lawn and one pool — and nobody negotiating who pays for the shared breakfast.
The ₹7,500 GST cliff nobody budgets for
This is where reunion budgets quietly break. Under India’s GST framework for hotel accommodation, the rate is charged per unit per day: 5% where the room value is ₹7,500 or below, and 18% above it. Because a villa tariff is divided across its room count for this purpose, two homes with similar headline prices can carry very different tax.
Compare Pranah and Saket Loak by the Lake. Pranah lists at ₹53,063 across 7 rooms — that is ₹7,580 per room, just ₹80 over the line, and the whole booking attracts 18%. Saket Loak lists at ₹41,116 across 8 rooms, or ₹5,140 per room, and attracts 5%. The tariff gap is 29 percent; the after-tax gap per head is 45 percent.
| Villa | Tariff | Rooms | Per room | GST slab | Tax added |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pranah | ₹53,063 | 7 | ₹7,580 | 18% | ₹9,551 |
| Saket Loak by the Lake | ₹41,116 | 8 | ₹5,140 | 5% | ₹2,056 |
With all nine tariffs verified, the pattern is stark: the three cheapest homes per head are the only three that fall under the 5% slab, and every one of the six on the 18% slab costs more per person, regardless of how good the headline tariff looks.
| GST slab | Villas | Per-room rate | Cost per head |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5% | Saket Loak, Princess of Wayanad, Ocean Breeze | ₹5,140 – ₹6,124 | ₹2,056 – ₹2,143 |
| 18% | Pranah, HOB, Dale @ Sylvara, Saya Infinity, The Den, Meluha | ₹7,580 – ₹13,289 | ₹2,982 – ₹4,500 |
Dale @ Sylvara shows how the room count drives this. Its ₹66,446 tariff sits mid-table, but spread across just five rooms it works out to ₹13,289 per room — the highest of all nine — so it is taxed at 18% and lands at ₹3,734 per head despite costing less to book than Saya Infinity or The Den.
When you ask for a group quote, ask for the GST slab in writing. On a two-night booking for 21 people it is worth about ₹900 per head.

All nine class reunion villas were open and bookable on stayvista.com on 17 August 2026, and every tariff below is a verified live rate. Sorted by villa-only cost per head, cheapest first.
| # | Villa | Destination | Sleeps | Rooms / baths | Tariff/night | GST | Per head/night |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Saket Loak by the Lake | Udaipur, Rajasthan | 21 | 8 / 9 | ₹41,116 | 5% | ₹2,056 |
| 2 | Princess of Wayanad | Wayanad, Kerala | 24 | 8 / 10 | ₹47,075 | 5% | ₹2,060 |

| 4 | Pranah | Karjat, Maharashtra | 21 | 7 / 9 | ₹53,063 | 18% | ₹2,982 |
| 5 | HOB – House of Believer | Jaipur, Rajasthan | 21 | 7 / 8 | ₹64,264 | 18% | ₹3,611 |
| 6 | Dale @ Sylvara | Udaipur, Rajasthan | 21 | 5 / 5 | ₹66,446 | 18% | ₹3,734 |
| 7 | Saya Infinity | Karjat, Maharashtra | 24 | 8 / 10 | ₹89,299 | 18% | ₹4,391 |
| 8 | The Den | Karjat, Maharashtra | 21 | 7 / 7 | ₹79,524 | 18% | ₹4,468 |
| 9 | Meluha – Pawna | Lonavala, Maharashtra | 24 | 8 / 10 | ₹91,535 | 18% | ₹4,500 |
1. Saket Loak by the Lake — Udaipur, Rajasthan
The cheapest per head of the nine, and it is not close. At ₹41,116 across eight rooms the tariff sits under the GST threshold, so 21 guests pay about ₹2,056 each per night all-in — roughly what one person spends on a mid-range hotel room alone. For a reunion, the draw is the open lawn paired with a ₹1,000 bonfire and a ₹1,500 barbecue setup, which together turn one evening into the centrepiece of the weekend for about ₹120 per head. Nine bathrooms across 21 guests keeps the morning queue civil, and the indoor and outdoor games plus a music system cover the hours when the group drifts indoors. Bathtubs and room heaters make this a genuinely comfortable winter booking, which is when Udaipur is at its best. Rated 4.8/5 across 53 reviews.
| Sleeps | 21 · 8 rooms · 9 baths |
|---|---|
| Getting there | Dabok Airport 40 km · Udaipur Railway Station 23 km |
| Reunion strengths | Lawn, bonfire (₹1,000), indoor and outdoor games, bathtubs, heaters |
| Watch out for | Highlights list a shared pool, not private — confirm before booking if pool privacy matters |
| Best for | Alumni groups pairing a reunion with Udaipur sightseeing |
Because the property is sold as 1–8 rooms, a 21-person booking needs all eight. Confirm the whole home is blocked, not a partial inventory.
2. Princess of Wayanad — Wayanad, Kerala
The best value among the larger-capacity class reunion villas: 24 guests at roughly ₹2,060 each per night. Ten bathrooms for 24 people is the most generous ratio in this list, which matters more than anything on a morning when everyone needs to get ready at once. The reunion case here is built on the outdoors — a lawn with a gazebo, a bonfire at just ₹750 and a barbecue at ₹500, the cheapest evening setup of the nine at roughly ₹52 per head for both. It is also the most inclusive property in this guide: wheelchair access and pet-friendly rooms at ₹1,000 mean a batch with older parents, a classmate with mobility needs or someone’s dog does not get left out of the plan. Board games, a music system and workstations round out a home built for a long, unhurried three-night stay rather than a rushed weekend. Rated 4.9/5 across 36 reviews.
| Sleeps | 24 · 8 rooms · 10 baths |
|---|---|
| Getting there | Kannur Airport 65 km · Thalassery Railway Station 50 km |
| Reunion strengths | Lawn, gazebo, bonfire (₹750), BBQ (₹500), wheelchair access, pet friendly (₹1,000) |
| Watch out for | No pool listed. If a pool is non-negotiable, this is not your home |
| Best for | Nature-led alumni trips and longer three-night reunions |
Sold as 1–8 rooms, so confirm all eight are blocked for a 24-person booking. Kannur Airport at 65 km makes this the easiest South India option for a batch flying in.
3. Ocean Breeze — Guhagar, Maharashtra
The cheapest reunion home in Maharashtra, and the biggest surprise in this guide. At ₹42,867 across seven rooms the per-room rate is ₹6,124, comfortably under the GST threshold, so 21 guests pay about ₹2,143 each per night all-in — a third of what the Karjat and Pawna properties cost per head. It is the coastal alternative for batches that want to skip the crowded Lonavala–Karjat weekend circuit entirely. Guhagar sits on the Konkan coast, and the villa is 2 km from both the bus stand and the town market, so supply runs and beach trips are quick. The stand-out for a reunion is the live music arrangement at ₹10,000 plus taxes per hour — about ₹476 per head across 21 guests for a proper band, something no other property in this guide offers as a listed service. Beyond that you get a private pool, a gazebo, a ₹1,200 bonfire and a full spread of indoor and outdoor games for the slower afternoons. Driver accommodation at ₹1,000 is worth budgeting given the distance, and pet-friendly rooms at ₹2,500 are available.
| Sleeps | 21 · 7 rooms · 7 baths |
|---|---|
| Getting there | Chiplun Railway Station 30 km · Guhagar Bus Stand 2 km · nearest airport 244 km |
| Reunion strengths | Private pool, gazebo, indoor and outdoor games, bonfire (₹1,200), pet friendly |
| Watch out for | 244 km to the nearest airport — a road-trip destination, and reviews are not yet listed |
| Best for | A quieter three-night coastal reunion, best October to February |
Plan this one for October to February, when the Konkan coast is dry and the sea is calm enough for beach evenings. If your batch will drive, this is the best value on the list.
4. Pranah — Karjat, Maharashtra
The value pick within easy reach of Mumbai. StayVista lists Pranah from ₹53,063 for all seven rooms; across 21 guests that is about ₹2,982 per head per night after 18% GST. What makes it work for a batch gathering is the circular amoeba-shaped private pool at 20×15 ft and a lawn with a gazebo — a natural stage for speeches, an awards-night bit or whoever insists on performing. A ₹3,000 bonfire and ₹1,000 barbecue cover the evening, and nine bathrooms across 21 guests is the second-best ratio in this guide, so nobody is negotiating shower slots. It is pet friendly at ₹2,500 and offers driver accommodation at ₹2,000, which matters if your group hires a tempo traveller for the weekend. Rated a straight 5/5 across 70 reviews — the strongest score in this group.
| Sleeps | 21 · 7 rooms · 9 baths |
|---|---|
| Getting there | Mumbai Airport 60 km / 2 hrs · Panvel Railway Station 18 km / 40 min |
| Reunion strengths | Amoeba-shaped private pool (20×15 ft), lawn, gazebo, bonfire (₹3,000), pet friendly |
| Watch out for | Sits ₹80 above the GST threshold — the 18% slab applies |
| Best for | A structured reunion with lawn dinners, speeches and a long evening outdoors |
The two-hour drive from Mumbai makes a Friday-night arrival realistic, and Matheran is a 5 km trek away if a sub-group wants a morning out.
5. HOB – House of Believer — Jaipur, Rajasthan
The strongest city-plus-villa combination in this set, at ₹64,264 for all seven rooms. That works out to ₹9,181 per room, so the 18% GST slab applies and 21 guests pay about ₹3,611 each per night. It sits 20 km from Jaipur Airport and 12 km from Sindhi Camp Railway Station, so a batch flying in from three cities can converge without a long transfer. That proximity is the USP — you can do Amer Fort and Hawa Mahal by day and still be back at a private pool by evening, which no other property in this guide offers. For the reunion itself there is a lawn with a gazebo and alfresco dining for the big group meal, plus a steam room at ₹2,000 that doubles as the morning-after recovery plan. Bonfire and barbecue are ₹1,000 each, among the cheapest here, and Kanota Market sits 2 km away for last-minute supply runs. Board games, a music system and pet-friendly rooms at ₹1,000 round it out. Rated 4.7/5 across 25 reviews.
| Sleeps | 21 · 7 rooms · 8 baths |
|---|---|
| Getting there | Jaipur Airport 20 km · Sindhi Camp Railway Station 12 km · Kanota Market 2 km |
| Reunion strengths | Private pool, lawn, steam room (₹2,000), alfresco dining, gazebo, bonfire (₹1,000) |
| Watch out for | ₹9,181 per room puts it on the 18% GST slab — budget ₹75,832 a night, not ₹64,264 |
| Best for | A heritage reunion combining Amer Fort and city sightseeing with villa evenings |
Book early: Jaipur peaks hard between October and March, and this is the only property here where you can pair fort sightseeing with a private pool.
6. Dale @ Sylvara — Udaipur, Rajasthan
The honest caveat property, and the one where the arithmetic is least flattering. Dale @ Sylvara permits 21 guests but lists only five bedrooms and five bathrooms — roughly four people per room and per bathroom, by far the tightest ratio of the nine. At ₹66,446 across those five rooms, the per-room rate is ₹13,289, the highest of all nine homes here, which puts it on the 18% slab at about ₹3,734 per head per night. You pay the most per room in this guide for the least space. What you get in exchange is the best wellness setup in this guide: a private pool, a jacuzzi and a steam and sauna room, which suits a college group that genuinely wants to spend the weekend together rather than retreat to separate rooms. Valley views, a stocked bar and a ₹1,000 bonfire make the evenings, and a ₹1,500 barbecue handles dinner outdoors. Indoor parking is a practical win if several classmates drive in from Ahmedabad or Jaipur. At 7 km from Udaipur Railway Station it is the most city-convenient of the two Udaipur options, so a lake-and-palace day trip is easy. Rated 4.5/5 across 83 reviews.
| Sleeps | 21 · 5 rooms · 5 baths |
|---|---|
| Getting there | Udaipur Airport 30.4 km · Udaipur Railway Station 7 km · local market 2 km |
| Reunion strengths | Private pool, jacuzzi, steam/sauna, valley views, bar, bonfire (₹1,000) |
| Watch out for | Highest per-room rate of the nine (₹13,289) and genuine dorm-style sharing at 21 guests |
| Best for | A close college group that does not mind bunking together |
Book this one only after your headcount is final — at 21 guests the sharing is real, but at 15 it becomes one of the more comfortable homes in this guide.
7. Saya Infinity — Karjat, Maharashtra
The most equipped property here for a group that wants a programme rather than a weekend. An eight-bedroom home with a 25×45 ft infinity pool and a 15,000 sq ft lawn that seats up to 500 — enough for a proper batch dinner with room left over for a cricket match. The entertainment stack is what separates it: a projector setup for the slideshow someone always makes, a dedicated karaoke system, an in-house bar, a full outdoor sports court and a spread of indoor and board games. Every bedroom is ensuite with its own balcony and an extra single mattress, and two common bathrooms bring the total to ten across 24 guests. The pool runs 8 AM to 10 PM, so late-evening swimming is on the table, and a ₹3,000 bonfire plus ₹1,000 barbecue completes the night. Rated 5/5 across 28 reviews.
| Sleeps | 24 · 8 rooms · 10 baths |
|---|---|
| Getting there | Mumbai Airport 35 km · Karjat Railway Station 9 km |
| Reunion strengths | Infinity pool, sports turf, projector, karaoke, in-house bar, bonfire (₹3,000), BBQ (₹1,000) |
| Watch out for | ₹89,299 before tax, ₹105,373 after — budget the tax-inclusive figure |
| Best for | Large batches wanting turf sports by day and a projector-and-karaoke night |
At 35 km from Mumbai Airport and 9 km from Karjat Railway Station, it is the most accessible property in this guide.
8. The Den — Karjat, Maharashtra
The most reviewed of these class reunion villas at 126 reviews and 4.7/5, which is meaningful social proof when you are persuading 20 classmates to transfer money. Part of StayVista’s Vieda collection, so butler service is included — a real advantage when 21 people want drinks and snacks at different times and nobody wants to play host. The reunion draw is a private pool alongside a sports turf, which splits the group naturally between swimmers and the football-and-cricket contingent instead of forcing one shared activity. Indoors, a ₹3,000 home theatre handles the nostalgia screening and a stocked bar covers the rest of the night. Full in-house dining runs ₹2,350 per person per day, so a completely hands-off weekend where nobody cooks or steps out is genuinely available here.
| Sleeps | 21 · 7 rooms · 7 baths |
|---|---|
| Getting there | Mumbai Airport 100 km · Karjat Railway Station 10 km · Bhivale Bus Stand 200 m |
| Reunion strengths | Private pool, lawn, sports turf, home theatre (₹3,000), bar, BBQ (₹1,000) |
| Watch out for | Seven baths for 21 guests — the tightest ratio here after Dale @ Sylvara |
| Best for | A relaxed Karjat weekend where the outdoor social space does the work |
A full-board two-night weekend here adds about ₹4,700 per head on top of the room rate. The Bhivale Bus Stand is 200 m away, so classmates arriving by public transport are not stranded.
9. Meluha – Pawna — Lonavala, Maharashtra
The premium option and the priciest per head, at roughly ₹4,500 per night for 24 guests. You are paying for the setting: an 18×40 ft infinity pool with lake and mountain views over Pawna, open 8 AM to 10 PM, plus alfresco dining that makes a lakeside group dinner the obvious centrepiece of the trip. A sports turf and lawn give a 24-person batch somewhere to burn off the afternoon, and a bar, music system and indoor games cover the evening indoors. The bonfire is among the cheapest here at ₹1,500, though the barbecue is the priciest at ₹3,000 — worth knowing before you book both. The standout is chef service at ₹1,500 per session, comfortably the most economical catering arrangement in this guide if your group is happy to handle a couple of meals itself. Rated 4.9/5 across 69 reviews.
| Sleeps | 24 · 8 rooms · 10 baths |
|---|---|
| Getting there | Mumbai Airport 75–85 km · nearest railhead 10–12 km |
| Reunion strengths | Infinity pool, sports turf, lawn, bonfire (₹1,500), chef service (₹1,500 per session) |
| Watch out for | Highest tariff of the nine at ₹91,535 — the 18% slab applies |
| Best for | An activity-led reunion where the view is part of the point |
Of the Maharashtra class reunion villas here, this is the only one pairing an infinity pool with both lake and mountain views — worth the premium if photographs matter to your batch.
What the tariff does not cover
The nightly rate is the floor, not the total. Across these class reunion villas, here is what gets added:
- GST — 5% or 18% depending on the per-room slab. Always confirm which applies.
- Meals — in-house dining runs roughly ₹1,500–₹2,350 per person per day. On a two-night stay that is ₹3,000–₹4,700 per head, often more than a third of the total.
- Bonfire — ₹750 to ₹3,000 per session.
- BBQ setup — ₹500 to ₹1,500, ingredients usually extra.
- Chef on call — from ₹1,000 to ₹1,500 per session at most properties.
- Driver and staff accommodation — ₹1,000 to ₹2,000, easy to forget when you hire a tempo traveller.
- Pet fee — ₹1,000 to ₹2,500 where permitted.
- Steam, sauna, home theatre — ₹2,000 to ₹3,000 as separate add-ons.
- Security deposit and damage charges — refundable, but it needs to sit in someone’s account for a fortnight.
A 21-person group booking a bonfire, a BBQ and two days of full board at a mid-range property adds roughly ₹4,000–₹5,500 per head on top of the room rate.
Two-night reunion budgets
Planning ranges for class reunion villas, not quotes. Each assumes the villa is filled to capacity and costs are split evenly.
| Budget | What it covers | Per person, two nights |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | Villa only, self-arranged travel and food | ₹4,100 – ₹9,000 |
| Comfortable | Villa, in-house meals, bonfire, local transfers | ₹7,500 – ₹13,500 |
| Premium | Larger villas, full board, transport, activities, event setup | ₹13,500 – ₹19,000 |
The single cheapest credible two-night reunion in this set is Saket Loak by the Lake at ₹4,112 per head for accommodation, with Princess of Wayanad (₹4,120) and Ocean Breeze (₹4,286) just behind. The most expensive is Meluha at ₹9,000 — more than double. Everything else is a choice you make about food and add-ons.
Which region should your batch pick?
Maharashtra (Karjat, Pawna, Guhagar) — five of the nine class reunion villas sit here, and it is the obvious first look for a Mumbai or Pune batch. Pranah is two hours from Mumbai Airport; Saya Infinity is 35 km. For a Friday-evening-to-Sunday-afternoon reunion, nothing else competes on drive time. Peak season is October to February; July to September brings Western Ghats monsoon, which is beautiful but demands covered seating and indoor games. Note that the cheapest Maharashtra option is not in this belt at all — Ocean Breeze on the Konkan coast costs ₹2,143 per head against ₹2,982 to ₹4,500 for Karjat and Pawna. Browse villas in Karjat and Pawna Lake villas for alternatives.
Rajasthan (Udaipur, Jaipur) — the destination-reunion play, and the region with the widest internal spread: Saket Loak by the Lake is the cheapest home in this guide at ₹2,056 per head while Dale @ Sylvara, 23 km away, costs ₹3,734. Udaipur works when the batch is scattered across cities and everyone is flying anyway. Best from October to March; April and May cross 40°C. See more Udaipur villas for large groups.
Kerala (Wayanad) — the choice for a three-night trip rather than a weekend. Princess of Wayanad delivers the second-cheapest per-head cost in this list at ₹2,060 with the best bathroom ratio of the nine. Post-monsoon, September to March, is the window.
Reunion itineraries: 2, 4 and 5 days
Check-in is 2 PM and checkout is 2 PM across these properties, which shapes every plan below. The golden rule regardless of length: collect money before arrival, never after. Splitting a ₹1 lakh bill over UPI on the last morning is how reunions end badly.
The 2-day weekend reunion
The default for a Mumbai or Pune batch. Works best at Pranah, Saya Infinity or The Den, all within a two-hour drive.
Day 1 — Arrival and the long night Aim for a 2 PM check-in, but expect stragglers until 6. Assign rooms by a list you made in advance, not by who walks in first — this is where weekends go wrong. Pool and sports turf through the afternoon. Bonfire lit at 7 PM, in-house dinner at 9. Nobody sleeps before 3 AM, so do not plan anything before 11 the next morning.
Day 2 — The actual reunion Late breakfast at 11. Keep the morning unstructured; people talk more over a slow coffee than at any organised activity. After lunch, run the one planned thing — group photos on the lawn, the slideshow someone has spent a month making, an awards bit. Barbecue dinner outdoors. Second bonfire for the people still standing.
Day 3 — Checkout Breakfast at 9, settle the group account, out by 2 PM. Budget an hour more than you think for the goodbyes.
Cost per head: ₹4,100–₹9,000 accommodation, ₹7,500–₹13,500 all-in with meals.
The 4-day destination reunion
For a scattered batch flying in from different cities, where a two-day trip does not justify the airfare. Best suited to Udaipur (Saket Loak by the Lake, Dale @ Sylvara) or Jaipur (HOB – House of Believer).
Day 1 — Land and settle Arrive through the afternoon. Nothing scheduled. Pool, a slow dinner, an early-ish night — you have three more days and burning out on night one is the classic mistake.
Day 2 — The city day Out by 9 AM while it is cool. From Udaipur: City Palace, Jagdish Temple, a Lake Pichola boat ride at sunset. From Jaipur: Amer Fort in the morning, Hawa Mahal and Johari Bazaar after lunch. Book one tempo traveller for the whole group rather than five cabs; it costs less per head and stops the group fragmenting. Back by 7 PM for a bonfire.
Day 3 — The villa day The best day of any four-day reunion, and the one people remember. Stay in entirely. Pool, jacuzzi or steam room, indoor games, a long lunch. Run the formal programme in the late afternoon when everyone is relaxed. Barbecue dinner, then the night that goes long.
Day 4 — Slow exit Breakfast, a final group photo, settle accounts, 2 PM checkout. Late-afternoon flights work well from both Udaipur and Jaipur airports.
Cost per head: ₹6,168 for three nights at Saket Loak, ₹10,833 at HOB, ₹11,202 at Dale @ Sylvara — ₹14,000–₹24,000 all-in with meals, transport and sightseeing.
The 5-day nature reunion
Only worth it somewhere that rewards a long stay. Princess of Wayanad in Kerala is the strongest fit; Ocean Breeze in Guhagar works for a Konkan coast version.
Day 1 — Arrival Long transfer day — 65 km from Kannur Airport to Wayanad, or a full road trip to Guhagar. Arrive, eat, sleep. Do not plan anything.
Day 2 — Ease in Lawn, gazebo, board games, a barbecue at ₹500. The point of day two on a five-day trip is that there is no point. This is when the real conversations happen.
Day 3 — The big outing Wayanad: Edakkal Caves, Soochipara Falls or a Chembra Peak trek — start at 7 AM, carry water, return by 4 PM. Guhagar: the beach at sunrise, Velneshwar and the Konkan coastal road. Bonfire dinner back at the villa.
Day 4 — Recovery and the programme Deliberately slow. Late breakfast, hours on the lawn. Run the formal reunion programme this evening rather than earlier — by day four the group has genuinely reconnected and the speeches land differently. At Ocean Breeze, this is the night to book the live band at ₹10,000 per hour.
Day 5 — Second outing or nothing Split the group: half go for a plantation walk or a second beach, half stay in. Forcing 24 people into one activity on day five never works. Final dinner together.
Day 6 — Checkout Breakfast, settle up, 2 PM checkout and a long drive back.
Cost per head: ₹8,240 for four nights at Princess of Wayanad, ₹8,572 at Ocean Breeze — ₹18,000–₹28,000 all-in. Both sit on the 5% GST slab, which is why a five-day trip here costs less than three nights in Karjat.
Which length suits your batch?
| Trip length | Best for | Best regions | Realistic all-in per head |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 days | Local batch, tight budgets, first reunion | Karjat, Pawna, Lonavala | ₹7,500 – ₹13,500 |
| 4 days | Scattered batch flying in, milestone years | Udaipur, Jaipur | ₹14,000 – ₹24,000 |
| 5 days | Close groups, nature-led trips, 20-year reunions | Wayanad, Guhagar | ₹18,000 – ₹28,000 |
Booking checklist for the organiser
Before you collect a rupee from anyone:
- Confirm the maximum permitted occupancy on your dates, not the headline number.
- Ask whether the quote is per night or total stay, and get the GST slab in writing.
- Confirm the whole property is blocked — several of these class reunion villas sell partial room inventory.
- Check extra-guest charges before someone brings a plus-one.
- Get meal, bonfire, BBQ and event-setup costs itemised.
- Confirm the cancellation window and the security deposit amount.
- Ask about the music and event policy if you are planning anything loud after 10 PM.

FAQs
As of 17 August 2026, nine listings show a permitted occupancy of 20 or more: Meluha – Pawna and Saya Infinity, The Den and Pranah in Karjat, Saket Loak by the Lake and Dale @ Sylvara in Udaipur, HOB – House of Believer in Jaipur, Princess of Wayanad in Kerala, and Ocean Breeze in Guhagar. Capacity ranges from 21 to 24 guests.
Verified tariffs range from ₹41,116 to ₹91,535 for the whole property before tax: Saket Loak by the Lake ₹41,116, Ocean Breeze ₹42,867, Princess of Wayanad ₹47,075, Pranah ₹53,063, HOB ₹64,264, Dale @ Sylvara ₹66,446, The Den ₹79,524, Saya Infinity ₹89,299 and Meluha ₹91,535. After GST and split across maximum occupancy, that is ₹2,056 to ₹4,500 per person per night.
Accommodation alone runs roughly ₹4,100 to ₹9,000 per person for two nights. With in-house meals, a bonfire and local transport, budget ₹7,500 to ₹16,000 per head depending on the property and how much catering you add.
No. Displayed rates are quoted before tax. GST is 5% where the per-room value is ₹7,500 or below and 18% above it, so confirm which slab applies to your booking before you divide the bill.
Meals are not included. In-house dining is charged separately at roughly ₹1,500 to ₹2,350 per person per day depending on the property, and barbecue or chef services are additional.
Saya Infinity in Karjat is 35 km from Mumbai Airport and Pranah is 60 km, about two hours by road. Both are comfortable for a Friday-evening departure.
No. Several list extra mattresses to reach maximum occupancy, and Dale @ Sylvara permits 21 guests across five bedrooms. Check the bedroom and bathroom count before assuming everyone gets a bed.
Book six to eight weeks ahead for a normal weekend and three to four months ahead for Diwali, Christmas, New Year and long weekends, when large properties sell out first and minimum-stay rules often apply.
Ready for a Class Reunion?
Of the class reunion villas verified here, the right pick depends mostly on how far your batch will travel. For a weekend reunion out of Mumbai or Pune, start with Karjat and Pawna — Pranah for value, Saya Infinity if you want the programme, Meluha if the view matters most. For a destination reunion where everyone is flying anyway, Saket Loak by the Lake in Udaipur (₹2,056) and Princess of Wayanad (₹2,060) deliver the lowest cost per head in this list, and Ocean Breeze in Guhagar (₹2,143) is the cheapest drive-to option — all three because their tariffs fall under the 5% GST slab. And whichever you pick, divide the complete tariff — taxes, food, transport and add-ons — by your confirmed headcount, not the listing’s maximum.
Check live availability and request a group quote for your dates on stayvista.com, confirm the maximum permitted occupancy, and get the GST slab in writing before you collect money from classmates.
