Where a palace becomes your private address
Beneath a landmark hand-finished dome stands one of Lonavla's most elaborately crafted private homes. Every surface has been considered — carved teak throughout, marble laid in classical patterns, gilded plasterwork, and chandeliers that turn each evening into an occasion.
Beyond the halls lie landscaped grounds: a sculpted lagoon-style pool crowned by a colonnaded gazebo, terraced brick gardens, and mature palms. It is at once a European chateau and a maharaja's retreat — and now, for a chosen few, a place to stay.
The estate announces itself long before the door — a soaring illuminated dome above stone-clad terraces, sweeping balustrades and a mosaic forecourt. It is a silhouette recognised across the hillside, and unmistakably its own.
Two formal dining halls seat large parties beneath crystal and amber chandeliers. A sage-green salon panelled in classical mouldings opens to a carved staircase guarded by hand-sculpted lions — the kind of room made for arrivals and announcements.
Every suite carries its own character: French-carved beds, gilded detailing, mirrored dressing rooms and marble baths. Nothing here is off-the-shelf; the whole house is a work of craft.

A principal kitchen in hand-carved teak, with marble counters and professional appointments, is supported by a separate service pantry — equipped to cater a family breakfast or a celebration for two hundred with equal ease.
Reserve the whole estate exclusively, or a single suite on weekdays. Every room is en-suite, air-conditioned and appointed with antique craft.

An extraordinary house — we took the whole estate for a family wedding, and every corner felt like a film set. Nothing in Lonavla comes close.— A recent whole-estate guest
