Hillview opened on 1st May 2026, the second house in the Pearl collection. It sits in Karandoli, a small village fifteen minutes off the Mumbai-Pune Expressway. Far enough that the city stops behind you. Close enough that you are at a proper dhaba in fifteen minutes if you feel like stepping out. (You won't)
The house is built around a double-height living room with a 16-foot crystal chandelier at its centre - the room every guest stops in when they first walk through the door. The pool sits at the heart of the property, with an attached kids' pool and a poolside gazebo for the long evenings.
Inside, a dedicated home theatre fitted with a top-end Klipsch 11.2 surround sound system, acoustically treated walls, and rich leather sink-in motorised recliners. A games area with a pool table and a curated set of board games. Two kitchens - one for the quick convenience, one for the larger meals. Five luxurious bedrooms, each with its own bathroom.
For the children: a dedicated play area with soft astroturf flooring, swings and slides. Parents can sit at the gazebo and watch from where they are.
Hillview is the house you book when the trip is short. When you have a Friday-to-Sunday and you do not want to spend Saturday driving.
The room every guest stops in when they walk through the door. Double-height ceiling, full-height windows facing the hills, a 16-foot crystal chandelier at the centre. Long sofas, a fireplace for the cold months.
It is the room that decides the tone of the evening. Most groups end up here after dinner, lights low, conversation slow.
A proper cinema room, not a TV in a closet. Eleven-point-two Klipsch speakers ceiling-mounted, fully acoustically treated walls and ceiling, sink-in leather recliners that move at the touch of a button.
On family stays the kids book it for mornings; the adults negotiate for it after dinner. Most stays end up using it twice.
The pool sits at the edge of the property - with stunning hill views. Large enough for a full afternoon swim, with a separate attached kids' pool at a depth a five-year-old can stand in. The poolside gazebo is lit at sundown.
A Weber professional grill sits on the deck for BBQ nights, lit on request. The pool is not heated and there is no jacuzzi - the design choice was a single beautiful pool, not several smaller ones.
A purpose-built play zone with soft astroturf flooring - safe for a fall, easy on bare feet, weather-tolerant. Swings, slides, climbing structures. Positioned in line of sight from the gazebo, so parents can sit at one and watch the other.
The games area inside takes over when the kids come in: a pool table and a curated set of board games for the long evening hours.

"We took the entire family up for a long weekend. The double-height living room was unexpected - everyone gravitated to it. The kids never left the play area. The cook handled three generations' worth of food preferences."

"A long weekend with twelve friends - most of us came in from Pune so the ninety-minute drive was a real gift. The home theatre setup is something else; we watched two films back to back."

"We did an offsite here for 14 of us. Loved everything - very thoughtful setup. Peaceful location, yet amenities are top notch. Looking forward to coming back for a personal trip too!"

No. Hillview has a single beautiful private pool with an attached kids' pool, but it is not heated. Lonavala stays warm enough for swimming for most of the year; in December and January the water is cold. Pearl Lakeview in Igatpuri has a heated infinity pool if a heated pool is essential to the stay.
Two hours from South Mumbai if you leave outside peak. Ninety minutes from Pune. The Expressway does most of the work; the final fifteen minutes are on a paved village road that any sedan handles.
