With a 1,800 sq. ft. outdoor lawn, an indoor banquet hall, 39 guest rooms, and in-house dining, our hotel is built for intimate celebrations with close family and friends. Lonavala is close to the major cities of Mumbai and Pune, making it one of the most accessible hill station destinations for guests travelling from either city.

Why Lonavala Works for a Destination Wedding

Lonavala has earned its place as a preferred hill station for weddings near Mumbai and Pune for practical reasons. The weather, particularly from October to February, is pleasant and cool enough for outdoor evening functions, while the region's verdant landscape creates a naturally scenic backdrop that complements most wedding aesthetics without requiring elaborate decor.

VITS Lonavala benefits from this strategic location, offering guests easy access by road, rail, and air. Our hotel is close enough to major urban centres for convenient travel, yet far enough to deliver the immersive experience couples expect from a destination wedding.

Key distances from VITS Lonavala:
  • Mumbai: ~91 km via the Mumbai-Pune Expressway
  • Pune: ~65 km via the Mumbai-Pune Expressway
  • Lonavala Railway Station: ~4 km
  • Pune International Airport: ~70 km

VITS as an Intimate Wedding Venue in Lonavala


VITS Lonavala is positioned for intimate weddings, and that is a deliberate choice. Accommodating up to 150 guests on the lawn and 100 in the indoor banquet hall, our boutique wedding venue in Lonavala is perfectly tailored for intimate celebrations rather than large-scale events. When you have 100 to 150 guests, a smaller, well-managed property allows for a more personal experience for every guest, from the ceremony to the reception to the morning after.

Keeping the entire wedding at one address also removes the planning hassle that comes with multi-venue events. Your guests check in, attend every function, dine, and sleep on the same property. There are no shuttles between venues, no split guest lists, and no coordination across multiple vendors for the venue itself.
