Entire Place Hosted by Carpe Diem
About this listing
The drive up to Carpe Diem Villa on Old Khandala Road is already part of the experience. As the road winds upward past dense trees and stone walls, and the valley floor drops further below, you begin to understand what makes Khandala different from the rest of Lonavala. It’s higher. Quieter. More cinematic. And Carpe Diem sits at its best point.
This 4BHK private hill villa in Khandala is designed around a central idea: that a group of friends, when given the right space, becomes something better. The name means “seize the day” — and this villa earns it. Spread across a generous 3,200 sq ft with four bedrooms, four bathrooms, a private swimming pool, and space to park two SUVs inside the compound, it accommodates 8 guests at a level that other Lonavala villas struggle to match. The pool faces the valley. The view from the pool deck includes everything Khandala is famous for — rolling Western Ghats, monsoon clouds, and a horizon that seems farther than it should be.
Inside, the villa is warm and social: a living room that fits everyone, a kitchen designed for people who actually want to cook, and bedrooms that manage to feel both private and connected. Outside, the BBQ area is where Carpe Diem reveals its full character — fire, food, the sound of the valley, and a group of people who have completely forgotten what day of the week it is.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the view from Carpe Diem Villa actually as good as described?
- Yes. The valley and Sahyadri hill view from the pool deck and terrace is one of the best in any villa we manage. We recommend checking in before sunset on day 1 to catch the golden hour.
- Is Khandala different from Lonavala for a villa stay?
- Khandala sits higher and quieter than Lonavala’s main market area. The road is less commercial, the air is cooler, and the views are more dramatic. Many guests prefer it specifically for this reason.
- Is a private cook available at Carpe Diem?
- Yes. We can arrange a private cook for your stay. Please request this when booking so we can confirm availability for your dates.
- How large is the parking area?
- The compound has parking for 2 SUVs inside, with additional space available just outside the gate.
