Mumbai Getaways
Resorts Near Mumbai — Beyond Lonavala
Skip the crowded highway. These handpicked resorts south of Pune give you a real weekend reset without the tourist rush.
Every Mumbai weekend gets planned around the same three destinations — Lonavala, Alibaug, Khandala. Great places, but on any given Saturday they carry half the city with them. If your idea of a getaway is not standing in queue for a lake view, it is worth driving a little further.
The stretch beyond Pune — towards Shirwal and the Satara belt — sits at the sweet spot. Long enough that the city stops calling, short enough that you do not lose a Sunday to the drive back. And the resorts here are actually built for weekend travellers, not day-trippers.
Why This Location Works
Comfortable 4-Hour Drive from BKC
Take the Mumbai-Pune Expressway to Pune, then NH48 for 45 minutes to Shirwal. Total 260 km, one coffee stop, no ghat driving after dark.
Quieter Than Lonavala
Lonavala and Khandala are packed most weekends. Shirwal remains a well-kept secret with plenty of room to breathe.
Real Lake Views
Avior Resorts sits on a private lakefront. Every room has a view worth waking up early for.
Everything On Property
Restaurant, pool, kayaking, ATV rides, spa, event lawns. You check in on Friday evening and never touch your car keys until Sunday.
Corporate & Family Ready
From 20-person team offsites to three-generation family weekends, the property handles both without a hitch.
Weekend Packages Simplified
One-price weekend packages include stay, meals, activities and a bonfire dinner. No à la carte confusion.
