Overview & Setting
Radisson Resort & Spa Lonavala is a modern five-star resort in the Tungarli area, on the quieter, more elevated side of Lonavala away from the busiest stretch of the bazaar. It is a relatively recent addition to the hill station's hotel scene, built as a full-service leisure resort rather than a converted bungalow, with 127 rooms, landscaped grounds and an outdoor pool that makes the most of the valley setting. The positioning is squarely at weekenders from Mumbai and Pune who want a comfortable, reliable base with a pool, a spa and good food, within easy reach of Lonavala's well-known viewpoints.
Location & Getting There
The resort sits in Gold Valley, Tungarli, about 4 km from Lonavala town and its railway station — close enough for the bazaar and the main sights, far enough to avoid the weekend crowds at your doorstep. Pune airport (PNQ) is roughly 72 km away, generally a 1 hour 45 minute drive via the expressway; Mumbai airport is a similar to slightly longer haul. Lonavala is a major stop on the Mumbai–Pune rail line, so many guests arrive by train and take a short taxi up to Tungarli. Tungarli Lake is barely a kilometre from the property.
Rooms & Suites
Rooms are contemporary and comfortable rather than themed, with the higher categories making the most of the hill and valley outlooks. Superior rooms are the entry level; Premium rooms move higher up for better views; Club rooms add comforts for longer leisure stays; and suites bring a separate sitting area and the widest outlooks. Across the board the rooms are well sized for a resort built recently, with the usual five-star fittings.
Dining
The dining offering is focused but solid. Hirkani is the all-day multi-cuisine restaurant, notable for its live cooking stations where dishes are prepared in front of guests — a popular format for the buffet-led weekend crowd. Malhari serves as the bar and lounge for drinks at the end of a day out exploring. The food leans towards crowd-pleasing Indian and international fare suited to families and groups rather than a fine-dining agenda.
Amenities, Spa & Pool
The outdoor pool with its valley aspect is a centrepiece, particularly appealing in the warmer months and during the monsoon green. There is a spa and wellness centre for massages and treatments, a fitness centre, and a kids' play area that helps with family stays. Banquet and event spaces make the resort a common choice for small weddings and social functions. Free Wi-Fi, ample parking and a travel desk cover the practicalities.
Experiences & Things to Do Nearby
Lonavala's classic attractions are all within a short drive. Tungarli Lake is the nearest, around a kilometre away; Bhushi Dam (about 6 km) draws crowds in the monsoon for its stepped water flow; and the viewpoints — Tiger Point, Lion's Point — sit 8-9 km out with sweeping valley panoramas, best at sunrise or sunset. The ancient Karla and Bhaja rock-cut caves are roughly 14 km away for those wanting a heritage detour. The resort's travel desk can arrange cars and guides for the loop.
Seasons & When to Visit
Lonavala's appeal shifts with the calendar, and the resort sits well for the most popular windows. The monsoon, roughly June to September, is the headline season: the Sahyadri slopes turn vivid green, waterfalls run at Bhushi Dam, and the valley views from the pool deck are at their most dramatic — though weekends get busy and roads can be slow. The cooler months from October to February are pleasant and clear, ideal for the fort treks and viewpoints. Summer before the rains is quieter and hotter. Because the resort is a short hop from both Mumbai and Pune, weekend rates and occupancy rise sharply, so midweek stays usually offer better value and a calmer atmosphere. Booking ahead for monsoon weekends is sensible.
Who It's Best For
Radisson Resort & Spa Lonavala is a strong pick for weekend getaways from Mumbai and Pune, for families wanting a pool and space, and for couples after a comfortable hill-station break without the long drive of more remote estates. Its banquet facilities also make it a practical venue for small weddings and gatherings. It is less about deep seclusion or destination wellness and more about dependable five-star comfort close to Lonavala's main sights — which is exactly what most short-break travellers to the hill station are looking for.
