Pawna Lake Villas – Private Pool Villas for Families & Groups

Camping is fun, but sometimes your group wants more space and privacy. A villa near Pawna Lake is perfect when:

• You are travelling as a big family or a group of friends
• You want a private swimming pool and no shared spaces
• You have elderly guests or young kids who need proper rooms
• You are celebrating a birthday, anniversary or reunion
• You want the option to cook your own meals

From the villa you can still visit the lake, trek nearby forts and enjoy the Lonavala hills – then come back to your own private space.

Silva Villa is a 3BHK farmhouse villa at Patan/Malavli near Lonavala, a short drive from Pawna Lake.

• Private swimming pool – 14 × 26 ft
• Sleeps up to 10 guests
• Kitchen – available to use (₹1,000 if used)
• 24×7 caretaker on the property
• Price – ₹15,000 per night for the entire villa
• Security deposit – ₹3,000, refundable
• No pets allowed

At ₹15,000 for up to 10 guests, the villa works out to about ₹1,500 per person per night – similar to many camping packages, but with a private pool and the whole house to yourselves.

Families

Multiple bedrooms, a kitchen and a caretaker make a villa ideal for families with kids and grandparents.

Friends' groups

A private pool, music and no neighbours to worry about – a villa is the classic weekend plan for friends from Pune and Mumbai.

Celebrations

Birthdays, anniversaries and small get-togethers are easier when you have the whole property.

Small corporate teams

For small teams, a villa makes a relaxed offsite base. Read our corporate team outing at Pawna Lake guide, and see Pawna group camping for bigger groups.

Both are great – it depends on your group:

• Camping (from ₹999 per person) includes food, bonfire and lakeside tents. Best for an outdoorsy night by the water.
• Cottages (₹1,999–₹2,999 per person) add comfort while keeping the lakeside setting. See Pawna Lake cottages.
• Villa (₹15,000 per night) gives total privacy, a pool and a kitchen. Best for families and groups up to 10.

Some groups even combine them – a night in a villa followed by a night of Pawna Lake camping.

Silva Villa is located at Patan/Malavli near Lonavala, in the same scenic belt as Pawna Lake, Lohagad, Visapur and Bhaje caves.

• From Mumbai – via the Mumbai–Pune Expressway, exiting at Lonavala.
• From Pune – via the old Mumbai–Pune highway towards Lonavala.
• By train – Lonavala and Kamshet are the nearest railway stations; take a local cab from there.

Transport is not included. Exact directions are shared in your confirmation email.

A villa weekend is all about slowing down. Here is a simple plan that works well for families and friends' groups:

Day 1

• Morning – Leave Mumbai or Pune and stop for breakfast on the way.
• Late morning – Visit Karla caves and the Ekvira temple, or Bhaje caves, which are close to Malavli.
• Afternoon – Check in at the villa, meet the caretaker and settle into the rooms.
• Evening – Pool time as the sun goes down, followed by music and dinner. Cook in the villa kitchen (₹1,000 if used) or bring food along.

Day 2

• Early morning – Trek to Lohagad or Visapur fort for sunrise views, or simply enjoy a slow breakfast by the pool.
• Late morning – One last swim before check-out.
• On the way home – Drive to Pawna Lake and the Pawna dam, or stop at Tiger Point in Lonavala.

Making it a combo trip

Many groups pair a night at the villa with a night of lakeside camping, so they get both a private pool and the bonfire-by-the-water experience. Browse campsites to plan the second night.
