Meritas Aura Resort - Lonavala

Four acres of landscaped hill-country terrain give Meritas Aura Resort - Lonavala an event canvas that few Tungarli properties can match at this capacity tier. Positioned on the quieter western fringe of Lonavala, the resort draws on the surrounding Sahyadri foothills to anchor an atmosphere that is simultaneously private and accessible — roughly 83 km from Mumbai and 65 km from Pune via the Mumbai–Pune Expressway. Built as a full-service leisure and events resort, Meritas Aura Resort - Lonavala accommodates up to 150 guests and is independently operated under the Meritas Hotels & Resorts portfolio, a hospitality group with multiple properties across Maharashtra.

Event Spaces and Capacities Across Indoor and Outdoor Setups

The property offers a combination of indoor banquet space and open-air lawn for event configurations. The air-conditioned indoor hall supports theatre-style and classroom arrangements for smaller corporate cohorts, while the outdoor lawn area — framed by the resort's garden landscaping — is the primary venue for floating and cocktail setups at the 150-PAX ceiling. A dedicated pre-function area outside the banquet entrance allows guest registration, cocktail receptions, and sponsor displays to run without disrupting the main hall turnaround. Audio-visual infrastructure including a PA system and projection support is available on-site, making the space functional for presentations, award ceremonies, and live entertainment alike.

Corporate Retreats and Social Celebrations in the Sahyadri Foothills

The resort's primary event types are corporate off-sites and social celebrations — particularly milestone birthdays, anniversaries, and intimate destination weddings. For MICE groups, the indoor-to-outdoor flow supports day-long conference formats followed by evening networking on the lawn, a sequence that event planners consistently request for outstation retreat programmes from Mumbai and Pune. For social events, the garden lawn permits décor customisation at a scale suited to curated guest lists rather than mass gatherings. Planners should note that the maximum capacity of 150 guests makes this property best suited to mid-size events; large-format weddings exceeding this count would require alternate venue consideration within the broader Lonavala belt.

Accommodation, Dining, and On-Site Hospitality

Room inventory at the resort supports residential conference and leisure formats, allowing MICE groups and wedding parties to consolidate accommodation and event logistics under one roof — a material advantage for outstation attendees travelling from metro cities. The property's in-house kitchen manages event catering directly, covering multi-cuisine menus for both formal gala dinners and informal cocktail spreads. Alcohol service is available on-site subject to applicable Maharashtra excise regulations. The resort's dining and bar facilities extend the event experience beyond the formal programme, and the on-site team handles pre-event coordination including vendor access scheduling and décor vendor briefings.
