Weekends are the best ways to explore the places nearby, and when that adds up with a fantastic stay, it serves as the cherry on top. There are so many beautiful properties near Pune and Mumbai to choose from. In this article, I am going to talk about one such property that I visited on a weekend and fell in love.
While browsing the internet for weekend getaways, I stumbled upon a resort named Malhaar Machi near Pune. The pictures of the resort looked enticing, and I booked it in a wink.
How to get there
I visited Malhaar Machi with my better half, and we drove all the way from Mumbai. Malhaar Machi is 170 km from Mumbai, and it takes approx 4-5 hours to reach. From Pune, it's around 50 km and takes an hour or two. The best way to get here is by car.

In the evening, there is a live barbeque set up, which is excellent, especially during winter months. One can also request for a candlelight dinner by the pool.
The resort has one restaurant and one bar.
