The Machan - A Treehouse Resort, Lonavala

Our stay at The Machan was amazing. The peaceful nature and perfect weather made it really relaxing. The staff were kind and helpful, and the food was tasty and fresh. We loved how the resort blends with nature without harming it. We’re excited to come back again with our family. Thanks to the whole team for a wonderful time!

Nice experience living in the trees. Very peaceful and the rooms are spacious and comfortable. Food buffet was largely good but on the first two nights it could have been better. Breakfast live chefs were very good. The wait staff on the restaurant are very attentive and courteous. But the reception staff need more coordination between themselves. If you’re coming with small children you need to book an appropriate room - some of the paths to the room are very treacherous in the rains.

I must say this is the very first property i have visited wherein everything was just perfect. A perfect entry to the hotel reception. A small artificial pond created to save and use water and for kids boating. Reception desk was just also just awesome view. Staff were really good in behavior and attended quickly. Checkin process was smooth. Thereafter we had a massage spa experience for 90 minutes which was really soothing and heavenly amidst nature. Room was just awesome. 2 beds and view was unbelievably nice. Theme of the room including curtains and amenities available were just so perfect. Restaurant had nice ambiance and food was just too tasty. Chef had really nice skills to make everything so perfect in taste. View of mountains outside the restaurant was really awesome. I would say that this is one 5 star property I would 100% visit again in future! Recommended for any who wants to get such monsoon experience in Lonavala!

The rooms are very nice, big, neat, and clean. I loved the food. It was so tasty, and it was without any red chilli. Pindi chole, noodles, kali daal, thai kadi, sambhar, dosa, etc., were awesome. The chef deserves a great appreciation. The area of improvement is the faster service during dining, especially breakfast. While there could be high footfall during dining, faster service certainly will make dining outstanding.

A Hidden Gem in the Heart of Nature – Unforgettable Stay at The Machan, Lonavala If you’re looking for a peaceful escape from the city, The Machan is pure magic. Nestled deep in the lush greenery of Lonavala, this eco-resort offers a perfect blend of comfort, sustainability, and breathtaking natural beauty. We stayed in one of their treehouse-style Machans, and waking up to panoramic views of the forest with the sound of birds was an experience like no other. The rooms are spacious, clean, and beautifully designed to blend with the surroundings without compromising on luxury. There’s no TV or Wi-Fi in most rooms, which we absolutely loved — it truly helps you disconnect and unwind. The food at the in-house restaurant was fresh, flavorful, and well-curated, with plenty of healthy and local options. The staff was polite, warm, and attentive throughout our stay. You can also enjoy guided nature walks, stargazing, or just relax on your private deck with a book. Highly recommend for couples, families, or anyone who needs a rejuvenating break in the lap of nature. Definitely looking forward to returning!

Located in the forest , The rooms have absolutely beautiful interiors. The view is stunning. All the staff are very courteous and helpful. The service is top notch. Dinner buffet is yumm! It is setup in open with trees and minimal lighting all around. All 3 meals are arranged in 3 different restaurants which is a very cool concept.

The most amazing property that I've seen! We stayed in jungle machan and it has a very scenic view and the best interior and facilities. After coming here I felt really immersed in the nature. A must visit. And also we did the trek by ourselves, they're a must try. The hospitality of the people is so good and they're so helpful. P.s The pictures of the property don't justify it's beauty, it's even prettier than the pictures!

The Machan offers a truly unique experience for couples who want to escape the city chaos and reconnect with nature. Tucked away in the Western Ghats, every treehouse or “machan” is built in harmony with the forest surroundings. You wake up to birds chirping, misty mornings, and stunning views — perfect for a romantic getaway. Privacy is excellent; you often feel like you’re the only two people in the entire property.
