A short drive from Mumbai and Pune, it attracts weekend crowds year-round and the villa market reflects that \u2014 ranging from modest farmhouses to large group properties. What La Palm does differently is combine genuine scale with thoughtful amenity depth. This is not a property that does one thing well; it does nearly everything well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Three acres of land means your group can spread out across a landscaped lawn, a private pond, an organic vegetable garden, and a 22&#215;70 ft pool area without ever feeling crowded. The gym, tennis court, and basketball court mean active guests have options beyond the pool. The steam and sauna room, poolside bar, and bonfire and barbecue setups cater to guests who want to decompress rather than be active. And the earthy, contemporary interiors across 8 bedrooms \u2014 spread across three separate units \u2014 give families and large groups the kind of privacy within a shared property that hotel rooms simply cannot offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At 4.9\/5 across 156 reviews, La Palm is one of the highest-rated villas on StayVista \u2014 a rating that reflects repeat satisfaction, not a lucky first impression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>La Palm villa in Lonavala<\/strong> <strong>stands out for:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sprawling 3-acre estate with lush greenery, organic farm, and private pond<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Massive 22&#215;70 ft private swimming pool with a kids&#8217; pool and jacuzzi<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Private tennis and basketball courts for active guests<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In-house gym with attached showers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Steam and sauna room for relaxation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Poolside bar counter for sundowners<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bonfire and barbecue setups for memorable evenings<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3,000 sq. ft lawn with attached gazebo<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Modern interiors across 8 bedrooms in three units<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Panoramic views of the surrounding Western Ghats<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"the-private-pool-what-you-actually-get\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Private_Pool_What_You_Actually_Get\"><\/span>The Private Pool: What You Actually Get<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.vistarooms.com\/gallery\/la-palm-0d59c6.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The swimming pool at La Palm villa in Lonavala is one of the largest private pools you will find. At 22 feet by 70 feet with a depth of 5 feet, it is genuinely built for a large group \u2014 not a token amenity sized for two or three people and stretched to accommodate twelve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Attached to the main pool is a separate kids&#8217; pool \u2014 a thoughtful addition for families travelling with younger children who may not be comfortable in the full-depth main pool \u2014 and a jacuzzi for guests who prefer a soak over a swim. Pool loungers are arranged around the deck, and the poolside bar counter means drinks come to you rather than requiring a trek back to the villa. The pond adjacent to the pool area adds a natural, calming dimension to the outdoor space that most villa pools lack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pool details at a glance:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Pool Size<\/td><td>22 ft x 70 ft<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Depth<\/td><td>5 ft<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Additional<\/td><td>Kids&#8217; pool and jacuzzi attached<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Poolside Amenities<\/td><td>Pool loungers and bar counter<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Adjacent Feature<\/td><td>Private pond<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Note<\/td><td>Wear swimming attire; shower before entering; children must be supervised<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"roombyroom-8-bedrooms-across-three-units\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Room-by-Room_8_Bedrooms_Across_Three_Units\"><\/span>Room-by-Room: 8 Bedrooms Across Three Units<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.vistarooms.com\/gallery\/la-palm-b0e279.jpg\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.vistarooms.com\/gallery\/la-palm-f580ca.jpg\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.vistarooms.com\/gallery\/la-palm-ff895a.jpg\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>La Palm villa in Lonavala is spread across three units on the property \u2014 a main villa, an outhouse, and an adjoining unit. The ground floor accounts for 7 of the 8 bedrooms (4 in the main villa, 3 in the outhouse), with the eighth on the first floor of the adjoining unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This layout works particularly well for multi-family groups \u2014 different families or friend clusters can anchor to different units while sharing the pool, lawn, and common areas.

On 3 acres, the grounds feel genuinely expansive \u2014 not a lawn wedged between the villa and the boundary wall, but a proper estate with multiple distinct spaces that can host different moods simultaneously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.vistarooms.com\/gallery\/la-palm-8-bhk-villa-with-private-pool-ae0eca.jpg\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.vistarooms.com\/gallery\/la-palm-8-bhk-villa-with-private-pool-342278.jpg\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The 3-Acre Estate<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The grounds include a landscaped lawn with a gazebo, a private pond, an organic vegetable garden, and open areas that give a large group the sense of arriving somewhere truly removed from the city. The organic garden is a quiet touch that the property wears well \u2014 guests can wander through it on a morning walk or simply appreciate that the produce going into their meals is grown on-site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tennis and Basketball Courts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>La Palm has both a private tennis court and a private basketball court on the property \u2014 a rare combination for a villa in Lonavala. For groups with active members, these courts can easily anchor an afternoon and give sporty guests a compelling reason not to spend the entire stay horizontal by the pool. Equipment is available on-site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Gym<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The in-house gym is equipped with fitness essentials and has separate attached showers for men and women. Guests who keep a training routine can maintain it through the stay without needing to leave the property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Poolside Bar<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bar counter by the pool is the kind of detail that makes a villa feel like a proper resort. Rather than walking back inside for a drink, guests can settle by the pool and be served. It works particularly well in the late afternoon, when the sun drops and the Western Ghats take on a golden tone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Barbecue<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Barbecue can be arranged at an additional charge. On the 3-acre grounds, a barbecue evening naturally pairs with the pool area or the lawn \u2014 both provide the space and setting to do justice to the experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bonfire<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bonfire sessions are available at Rs. 2,500 per session. Lonavala evenings \u2014 especially between November and February \u2014 have a genuine chill that makes a bonfire the most natural gathering point after dinner. The lawn provides the setting; the caretaker team handles the setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Steam Room and Sauna<\/strong> The steam room and sauna can each be used at an additional cost of Rs. 3,000 per facility per one-hour session. These are particularly popular on the second day of a two-day stay, when muscles want the opposite of a tennis game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-5 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.vistarooms.com\/gallery\/la-palm-a68919.jpg\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.vistarooms.com\/gallery\/la-palm-e662f4.jpg\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.vistarooms.com\/gallery\/la-palm-1c2010.jpg\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Add-On Services Summary:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Add-On<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Cost<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Bonfire<\/td><td>Rs. 2,500 per session<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Steam room or sauna (each)<\/td><td>Rs. 3,000 per facility per hour<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Washing machine<\/td><td>Rs. 1,000 per load<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Barbecue<\/td><td>At additional cost (confirm with StayVista)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>All vegetarian meals<\/td><td>Available in-house at additional cost + 18% GST<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"food-and-dining-what-to-expect\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Food_and_Dining_What_to_Expect\"><\/span>Food and Dining: What to Expect<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.vistarooms.com\/gallery\/la-palm-0f83d1.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"aspect-ratio:16\/9;object-fit:cover\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>La Palm&#8217;s food policy is nuanced compared to a purely vegetarian property \u2014 and worth reading carefully before booking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All vegetarian meals are available in-house at an additional cost, prepared in the villa kitchen.

He holds a BA in International Hospitality Management and Tourism Studies. His passion for writing makes him a perfect candidate for what he does. Despite having a diverse career roadmap in HR as a Data Analyst and delighting guests in the lounge and cafes of JW Marriott, his true passion lies in persuading people to read with his power of words. He's a published author of a hard sci-fi novella, 'The Evitable,' and is working on his next western-political thriller. When not writing, he reads, sings, plays guitar, or watches movies or TV shows, always hunting for stories that bring a climax with goosebumps.","url":"https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/author\/krutarthac\/"},{"@type":"Question","@id":"https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/la-palm-villa-lonavala\/#faq-question-1777986196098","position":1,"url":"https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/la-palm-villa-lonavala\/#faq-question-1777986196098","name":"How many guests can stay at La Palm?","answerCount":1,"acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"La Palm accommodates up to 16 guests across 8 bedrooms (7 king-size and 1 twin-bed room) spread across three units on the estate.","inLanguage":"en-US"},"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"Question","@id":"https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/la-palm-villa-lonavala\/#faq-question-1777986227077","position":2,"url":"https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/la-palm-villa-lonavala\/#faq-question-1777986227077","name":"How large is the swimming pool at La Palm?","answerCount":1,"acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"The main pool is 22 feet by 70 feet with a depth of 5 feet \u2014 one of the largest private pools available in a Lonavala villa.
