Pristine Villa – Karla

Pristine Villa is a five-bedroom property in Karla — 11 minutes from the ancient Karla Caves and 17 minutes from the Bhaja Caves, both 2nd-century BCE rock-cut chaitya halls.

Five bedrooms, five bathrooms, and capacity for up to fifteen guests. The villa has a private pool and full kitchen facilities, arranged for extended family stays or group retreats. The Karla location puts guests within easy reach of both the rock-cut caves and the surrounding countryside, with the Mumbai-Pune highway nearby for arrivals from either city.

The Villa

Five air-conditioned bedrooms, all en-suite. The main living area seats fifteen, with a separate dining space and functional kitchen. The pool is set in the villa's garden. Meals can be arranged at an additional cost — Indian and local specialties are the focus. Chef service is available at an extra cost.
