The Grotto

Villa · Karjat, Maharashtra · 5 Bedrooms

Stay Ananta presents The Grotto, one of Karjat’s most enchanting villa escapes, designed for those who crave privacy, nature, and a touch of indulgence. Set against soothing lake views, this secluded retreat instantly slows the pace of everyday life. The interiors are thoughtfully styled with distinctive textures and earthy elements, creating spaces that feel both striking and deeply comforting. Step outdoors to a private pool that invites lazy swims and sun-soaked pauses, while the manicured 4,500 sq. ft. lawn with its charming sit-outs is perfect for long conversations or quiet moments with a book. Younger guests can dive into hours of fun with board and indoor games, while adults unwind in the Jacuzzi or indulge in a deeply relaxing steam and sauna session.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at The Grotto Villa! Right from the moment we arrived, the warm welcome set the tone for a relaxing and memorable experience. The villa is beautifully maintained and offers top-notch amenities – the pool and Jacuzzi were highlights, and the spacious open areas made it perfect to unwind. Indoors, there was no shortage of entertainment with board games, a pool table, carrom, foosball, and even a poker table. A special mention to Dev and his team, who were incredibly attentive. Also, a big thank you to Roger and the F&B team for the delicious food.
