Four kilometres from the Khandala Ghat and wrapped in the Sahyadri foothills, Meritas Picaddle Resort - Lonavala delivers a rare combination for corporate and social planners: a full-service hill-station resort with dedicated event infrastructure and 72 accommodation keys on a single campus. The property operates under the Meritas Hotels banner, a group recognised for managed resorts across Maharashtra, which means event-day coordination here draws on an experienced hospitality backbone rather than a one-off staffing arrangement.
The resort's primary banquet hall accommodates up to 300 guests in a floating or cocktail configuration and scales down to theatre or hollow-square arrangements for corporate workshops and leadership conclaves. A supplementary meeting room handles breakout sessions for smaller delegations without disrupting the main event floor. Pre-function areas front the banquet wing, giving guests a defined arrival and registration zone before they enter the hall — a logistical detail that noticeably reduces congestion during large-format conferences and wedding receptions. Landscaped lawn sections adjacent to the main block extend the usable event footprint for outdoor ceremonies, sundowners, and team-building activations, making this venue for corporate events in Lonavala genuinely versatile across seasons.
For MICE bookings — typically two-day off-sites or annual reviews with overnight accommodation — the on-site room inventory eliminates the coordination overhead of a split venue, allowing the organiser to manage AV, F&B, and rooming lists with a single point of contact. In-house catering covers multi-cuisine menus including Maharashtrian, North Indian, and Continental spreads, with alcohol service available subject to local excise permissions. For social celebrations, particularly destination weddings and milestone anniversaries, the Sahyadri backdrop provides a visual setting that urban banquet halls cannot replicate. Planners should note that Lonavala's monsoon season — roughly June through mid-September — can affect outdoor lawn setups, so contingency indoor allocation is advisable during that window and worth confirming at the RFP stage.
The resort's location on the Mumbai–Pune Expressway corridor places it approximately 83 km from Mumbai and 65 km from Pune, making it practical for delegates travelling from either metro. The 72 rooms and suites — spread across the campus — support resident event packages where guests check in for a two- or three-night programme without leaving the property. Recreational amenities including a swimming pool and indoor games areas are frequently scheduled into MICE itineraries as structured breaks, a practice that positively affects delegate satisfaction scores on longer off-site programmes.
Meritas Picaddle Resort - Lonavala is listed on Spalba with venue details, capacity configurations, and high-resolution gallery images verified for accuracy. Professional planners can use Spalba's request tools to compare this property side by side with other Lonavala and Khandala venues at comparable PAX, review floor plan data, and initiate a structured RFP directly from the listing page — eliminating the back-and-forth that typically delays corporate event timelines. For those evaluating a shortlist, the resident accommodation model and dedicated pre-function space are the two factors most likely to distinguish this resort from non-residential alternatives in the same corridor.
