Lawn 2 at Sun N Sand Shirdi is an open-air event space set within the hotel's verdant grounds in Nighoj, Shirdi. Designed to accommodate the full spectrum of social and celebratory occasions, the lawn offers an expansive outdoor canvas that benefits from the natural backdrop of Shirdi's skies — a quality that makes it a popular choice for guests who want their event to feel airy and unconfined. The space carries the understated elegance that Sun N Sand is known for, combining well-maintained greenery with the operational support of an established full-service hotel.
Whether the occasion calls for a pre-wedding mehendi ceremony, a sangeet evening, a cocktail reception, or a community gathering, Lawn 2 is designed to flex around the event rather than the other way around. The open format means décor teams have genuine creative freedom — from traditional floral mandaps to contemporary themed setups — without the constraints that indoor pillars or fixed furniture can impose.
Lawn 2 is well suited to weddings and their associated functions, making it a natural fit for the large, multi-day celebrations that Indian weddings often involve. Corporate groups also find value in the space for outdoor team-building activities, product launches, and informal networking receptions where a formal banqueting room would feel too rigid.
Sun N Sand Shirdi sits in close proximity to the Shri Saibaba Samadhi Mandir, one of the most visited pilgrimage destinations in India, which means the hotel regularly hosts family reunions and group pilgrimages whose members want a dignified, comfortable venue for shared meals and gatherings. Lawn 2 serves this segment well — its open layout accommodates large family groups without the space ever feeling crowded or fragmented.
The hotel's in-house events and catering teams manage the logistics of outdoor functions, providing setup coordination, food and beverage service, and décor support. The availability of on-site accommodation within the hotel means that outstation guests attending a Lawn 2 event can stay on property, simplifying travel and keeping the group together across a multi-day itinerary.
Sun N Sand Shirdi is located in Nighoj, Shirdi, Maharashtra — a town that draws millions of devotees each year to the Shri Saibaba Samadhi Mandir. Shirdi is accessible by air via Shirdi Airport (also known as Sainagar Shirdi Airport), by rail via Sainagar Shirdi Railway Station, and by road from Pune, Mumbai, Nashik, and Aurangabad, making it a practical destination for guests travelling from across Maharashtra and beyond. The hotel's position in Nighoj places it within comfortable reach of the temple complex, allowing event guests to combine a pilgrimage visit with their stay. For event organisers, the strong regional connectivity means guest attendance is less contingent on a single travel route, which is a genuine practical advantage when planning large gatherings.
