Saffronstays Sundowner, Karjat

Awarded as the 'Party-Perfect Homestay Of The Year' by MakeMyTrip in association with Times Of India, SaffronStays Sundowner, an 8-bedroom private pool villa in Karjat is the perfect choice if you’re looking for the best getaway with your friends and family. Such is the magnanimity of this weekend getaway near Mumbai and Pune that even before you enter the home, the sky lowers itself to kiss the villa, the hills and lawns take you in with their warm embrace, and the waters around start rushing as if to have a one-on-one with you. A large pool with ample space to lounge, sprawling lawns and a gazebo make this an ideal party villa near Mumbai. Get your best dress on, sip on your margaritas, and let the music play for your next pool party or sundowner! The ground level of the home houses 6 bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, all on the ground level with a deck in front of them, overlooking the scenic views. This makes it the perfect venue for families with senior citizens. The large living room has a dining table and TV set where families can gather and spend their time playing board games. All the rooms in the home overlook the hills and the waters. Level one of this structure has two bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms and an attached balcony. A piece of art during the monsoon season, this contemporary villa near Morbe Dam blends well with its surroundings. Why go to a banquet hall when you can host intimate gatherings and celebrations against nature’s spectacular settings? (Psst: There’s provision for rain dance setup, too).
