Le Sutra Great Escapes - Udaan - Villa in Lonavala

Udaan can only be described as a captivating Pinterest moodboard brought to life. From the stunning installations to the eclectic art, it is meant to stimulate your senses and let your imagination soar. As soon as you enter this magical wonder, it’s like walking into a gallery with stunning works of art, the Mischievous Monkeys, Romance Of The Birds, and the adorable 'Ullu ke pathe' exercising in the garden along with the ‘Cutie-kopakka’, inspired by Etikoppaka, a wood-turning craft form, is a catch-ball toy with luminous eyes that will set your heart aflutter - it is no less than a fairytale! The living and dining area is just striking - thanks to the large windows, astounding art-pieces and handsome marble surfaces. As well as letting in copious amounts of natural light, the glass slides lead out to a charming garden space with a mini-fountain to enjoy foot massages by and some seating for warm evenings. Flanked on the east by the majestic Western Ghats, on the west by open space, and on the south by undisturbed, lush forests, Udaan is an intoxicant for aesthetical calmness. 

Dine under the sunset hues while watching a panoramic view of Lonavala. After all, you need a magical spot to devour the irresistible culinary delights from the Anglo India Cafe & Bistro just a walk away.  A balmy evening by the rooftop jacuzzi with a chilled glass of wine paired with some mouth-watering Lime Chilli Prawns from the cafe would be a dream.

The eclectic interiors, combined with the magical exteriors, and experiences galore, will inspire your creativity to take flight and let your imagination soar.

If you’re a bigger group, there’s another majestic villa - Le Arc, just a step away which can be booked along with Udaan to accommodate larger groups.
