class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Meluha_Stands_Out_Among_Lonavala_Villas\"><\/span>Why Meluha Stands Out Among Lonavala Villas<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Most villas in Lonavala are designed for groups of 6 to 10 guests. Finding a well-maintained property that comfortably accommodates 16 to 24 people \u2014 without compromising on privacy or amenities \u2014 is genuinely difficult. Meluha fills that gap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Situated in the Pawna belt, roughly 85 km from Mumbai and 65 km from Pune, the villa occupies a quiet pocket away from the congested Lonavala\u2013Khandala main road. Instead of hillside traffic, you get uninterrupted views of the Sahyadri mountain range and proximity to Pawna Lake, one of the most photographed reservoirs in western Maharashtra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What separates Meluha from a typical large villa on rent in Lonavala is the combination of an 18\u00d740 ft infinity pool, a dedicated sports turf for outdoor games, and a three-storey layout that gives different groups their own floor. For families celebrating milestones, corporate teams on offsites, or friend groups planning a weekend getaway from Mumbai with a pool, this setup avoids the usual compromise of \u201cbig enough but nothing to do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/meluha-1ea952-1-1024x682.webp\" alt=\"pool villa in lonavala\" class=\"wp-image-38597\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/meluha-1ea952-1-1024x682.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/meluha-1ea952-1-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/meluha-1ea952-1-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/meluha-1ea952-1-1536x1023.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/meluha-1ea952-1-370x246.webp 370w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/meluha-1ea952-1-770x513.webp 770w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/meluha-1ea952-1-150x100.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/meluha-1ea952-1.webp 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-infinity-pool-what-you-actually-get\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Infinity_Pool_What_You_Actually_Get\"><\/span>The Infinity Pool: What You Actually Get<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>The headline feature at Meluha is the infinity pool \u2014 and it genuinely delivers. At 18 feet wide and 40 feet long with a uniform depth of 4.5 feet, it is significantly larger than most private villa pools in the Lonavala\u2013Karjat belt, where 12\u00d720 ft pools are the norm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The pool is operational from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM daily. It faces the mountain range, so evening swims come with a sunset backdrop that has become a recurring theme in guest reviews. There are no poolside cabanas, but the adjacent lawn provides ample lounging space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Practical details:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Pool size:<\/strong>&nbsp;18 ft \u00d7 40 ft (4.5 ft depth throughout)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Timing:<\/strong>&nbsp;8:00 AM to 10:00 PM<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Suitable for:<\/strong>&nbsp;Adults and older children (no shallow section for toddlers)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Towels:<\/strong>&nbsp;Provided<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Changing rooms:<\/strong>&nbsp;Available<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For groups specifically searching for an infinity pool villa in Lonavala, Meluha is among the few properties where the pool is large enough for 10+ people to use simultaneously without crowding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/meluha-833403-1024x682.webp\" alt=\"lonavala villa under 28000 - luxury villa in Lonavala with private pool\" class=\"wp-image-38598\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/meluha-833403-1024x682.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/meluha-833403-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/meluha-833403-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/meluha-833403-1536x1023.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/meluha-833403-370x246.webp 370w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/meluha-833403-770x513.webp 770w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/meluha-833403-150x100.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/meluha-833403.webp 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"roombyroom-breakdown-8-bedrooms-across-3-floors\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Room-by-Room_Breakdown_8_Bedrooms_Across_3_Floors\"><\/span>Room-by-Room Breakdown: 8 Bedrooms Across 3 Floors<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Meluha spreads across three floors \u2014 ground, first, and second \u2014 with 8 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms (8 ensuite, 2 shared). Every bedroom comes equipped with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Queen-sized bed<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Split air conditioning<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wi-Fi access<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Workstation (desk and chair)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wardrobe<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Foldable extra bed (available on request)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Select rooms have attached balconies overlooking the lawn and mountains. The ensuite bathrooms in several rooms include bathtubs and geysers, which is a practical addition during Lonavala&#8217;s cooler months from November through February.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"floor-layout\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Floor_Layout\"><\/span>Floor Layout<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n<p><strong>Ground floor:<\/strong>&nbsp;Living area, dining space, limited-access kitchen, and 2\u20133 bedrooms with direct lawn access. This floor works well for elderly family members or anyone who prefers avoiding stairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>First floor:<\/strong>&nbsp;3 bedrooms with balcony options and a common sitting area. Good for a separate family unit or a team breakout space during corporate retreats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Second floor:<\/strong>&nbsp;2\u20133 bedrooms with the best elevation views. Quieter, more private \u2014 suited for couples or anyone who wants to be away from common area noise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This three-floor separation is one of the reasons Meluha works for multi-family trips. Grandparents take the ground floor, kids and parents occupy the first floor, and the younger adults get the top floor.

The lawn is large enough for group activities \u2014 think badminton, frisbee, or just spreading out with a book.

The chef prepares meals from an \u00e0 la carte menu with both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a practical point to note before booking. If your group expects to order from Swiggy or Zomato, Meluha&#8217;s no-outside-food policy means you will need to either self-cook or hire a chef. For large groups, the chef option usually works out to \u20b9200\u2013250 per person per day, which is reasonable for freshly cooked meals in a private setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dining options summary:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Chef service:<\/strong>&nbsp;\u20b95,000\/day + 18% GST (serves all meals)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Self-cooking:<\/strong>&nbsp;Permitted for simple meals and tea\/coffee<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Outside food:<\/strong>&nbsp;Not allowed<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Alfresco dining:<\/strong>&nbsp;\u20b95,000\/night (outdoor table setup on the lawn)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-reach-meluha-from-mumbai-and-pune\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Reach_Meluha_from_Mumbai_and_Pune\"><\/span>How to Reach Meluha from Mumbai and Pune<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"from-mumbai-approx-85-km-225-hours\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"From_Mumbai_approx_85_km_2%E2%80%9325_hours\"><\/span>From Mumbai (approx. 85 km, 2\u20132.5 hours)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Take the Mumbai\u2013Pune Expressway and exit at Lonavala.
