Pranah
Luxury Collection · Villa in Karjat · 7 Bedrooms · 2 Units
Step into Pranah and let its striking red-brick facade steal the show. This 7-bedroom luxury villa in Karjat isn’t just a home — it’s a statement.

Inside, sleek and chic interiors offer a luxurious retreat that perfectly complements its rustic farmhouse vibe. From sprawling lawns to cosy nooks, the massive premises are dotted with hangout spots, making it an ideal venue for big family reunions, corporate offsites or intimate celebrations. The manor’s amphitheatre sets the stage for unforgettable moments, while experiences like al fresco dining, guided treks to Matheran, luxury tent stays and BBQ-bonfire nights ensure there’s never a dull moment. Whether you’re splashing in the pool or lounging under the stars, Pranah redefines what it means to live the good life.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Villa Pranah! The property is beautiful and serene, but what truly made our experience exceptional was the outstanding hospitality. A special mention to Ratnakar, Ranjeet, Nikhil, and Deepak, who went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Their warm and attentive service ensured every detail was taken care of with a smile. The food was another highlight — freshly prepared, delicious, and served with so much care. A perfect blend of comfort, great service, and amazing food.

An absolute hidden gem! The property is designed thoughtfully — landscaping, dining area, the villa with its raw and earthen appeal has blown us away! Diwakar ji the caretaker has immense hospitality experience. All meals were tasty and homely, absolutely wholesome. Surrounded by mountains — monsoon is the best time!

Script Your Stay

At Pranah, your day unfolds like a perfectly scripted getaway. Start your morning with a leisurely stroll on the expansive lawn — ideal for outdoor games or an impromptu picnic by the gazebo. Take a dip in the unique amoeba-shaped pool that promises Instagram-worthy moments. If you’re feeling adventurous, the luxury tents offer an exclusive glamping experience amidst nature’s tranquility.
