This location offers guests a chance to immerse themselves in nature while remaining accessible for a weekend retreat. Surrounded by the Western Ghats, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the hotel emphasizes ecological responsibility and sustainability in its operations.

Accommodations

The Machan offers a range of treehouses, each built 30 to 45 feet above the forest floor, providing guests with breathtaking views and enhanced privacy. The unique designs include the Canopy Machan with a private deck and bathtub, and the Starlight Machan featuring a retractable roof for stargazing. Each accommodation option maintains a focus on minimal environmental impact while providing comfort.

“The Machan rises above Lonavala with unique treehouse accommodations-a serene escape for nature lovers, though service and amenities appear inconsistent given the price. I like the sound of stargazing from a Starlight Machan and exploring private nature trails, but some may expect higher standards for such a distinctive property. The restaurant, however, seems to deliver on both service and food.”
