Mumbai Weekends
Weekend Getaway from Mumbai — 4 Hours to a Different World
A private lakefront, no crowds, and Friday-to-Sunday plans that actually feel restorative.
Mumbai weekends have two modes — stay in and recover, or drive out and refuel. When you pick the second option, the choice of destination matters more than the drive itself. Lonavala is close, but never quiet. Alibaug is beautiful, but the queues at the ferry can eat a full morning.
The stretch beyond Pune is the underrated pick. Four hours of smooth expressway driving lands you at a private lakefront in Shirwal, where the weekend does not have to compete with the crowd.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is 4 hours too long for a weekend getaway?
Not with an expressway. Most Mumbai travellers leave Friday evening after work and arrive by dinner. The drive back on Sunday afternoon is quick with light traffic.
Which weekend is best to book?
Any weekend outside major public holidays works. Mid-July to September (monsoon) is especially scenic. Book 3-4 weeks ahead for the room of your choice.
Are there activities for kids on the weekend?
Yes. Pool, play areas, kayaking with parents, nature walks and a bonfire evening — plenty to keep kids engaged both days.
Can I book a Friday-only night?
Yes, single-night bookings are accepted. Two nights (Fri-Sat or Sat-Sun) is what most Mumbai guests prefer for a proper reset.
Is there a group booking discount?
Yes, groups of 8+ rooms get a group rate. Reach out via the contact page for a quote.
