Location & Nearby

Lonavala is one of the Sahyadris’ most celebrated retreats — where green valleys, ancient forts and monsoon waterfalls conspire to slow the city pace right down. Apukaa sits near Pawna on the quieter, more elevated stretch of this beloved hill station, offering the kind of seclusion that most Lonavala villas only promise. The landscape here is wilder, the views broader, and the stillness noticeably deeper.

An absolute dream stay! The villa was spotless, beautifully designed, and so peaceful. We were 10 adults and 3 kids, the villa is extremely spacious. Every detail was thoughtful from the cosy interiors to the calm poolside views. It truly felt like a private escape. Special thanks to Mukesh, Akash and Chef Mahesh for the amazing hospitality. Every moment felt effortless and serene. Highly recommend for anyone who just wants to unwind. Can’t wait to come back!

We stayed at the villa with our family for two days and had a wonderful experience. Bishnu, Bikas and Netrapal were extremely helpful and professional throughout our stay, making sure everything was comfortable and well-managed. The food was delicious, and the property itself is clean, well-maintained, and equipped with all the amenities needed for a great family vacation. The highlight, of course, is the stunning view of the hills, which made the stay even more special. Overall, it’s a fantastic place for a relaxing getaway with family. Highly recommended!

Excellent food and service. Property was clean. Washrooms required a few fixtures being a new property. The local caretakers are much better and accommodative on menu alterations. Going forward, paying for the butler service rather than the full food package is the best way to go. The property and staff are good — a relook at policies and pricing for food would make it even better.

Apukaa Hills struck the perfect balance between adventure and relaxation. Days started with bird calls and fresh air, evenings with laughter around the poker table and starlit skies. Interiors are beautifully done.

This accommodation delivers on comfort, cleanliness, and convenience. The standout feature is the reliable service from caretakers Bishnu and Suraj. Bishnu handles everything efficiently, from smooth check-in to practical local advice. Suraj provides excellent homemade meals that are fresh, well-prepared, and authentic — curries, rice, and rotis done right every time. I strongly recommend this place for anyone seeking dependable hospitality and quality food.
