Ramee Group expands Maharashtra footprint with Pawna Lake resort signing

Maharashtra, April 2026: The Ramee Group of Hotels has announced the signing of a new resort at Pawna Lake in Lonavala, marking a strategic expansion of its presence in the state’s growing leisure travel segment.

The upcoming resort reinforces the group’s focus on developing hospitality offerings in high-demand, nature-driven destinations, particularly those accessible as drive-to getaways from major urban centres.

Expansion into a high-demand leisure destination

Located near Pawna Lake in the Sahyadri mountain range, the resort is positioned to cater to travellers seeking scenic landscapes and experiential stays. The destination is known for its natural surroundings, trekking opportunities, and increasing popularity among weekend travellers.

The development aligns with the company’s strategy of expanding in destinations that combine accessibility with immersive travel experiences.

Focus on experiential and nature-led hospitality

According to company leadership, the resort will offer a blend of comfort and locally inspired experiences. Planned features include well-appointed rooms with landscape views, diverse dining options including poolside experiences, and curated leisure activities.

Guests are expected to have access to experiences such as trekking, seasonal waterfalls, bonfires, and open-air relaxation, positioning the property as an experience-driven leisure retreat.

The resort will also include event spaces designed for intimate gatherings, celebrations, and corporate retreats, enabling it to cater to both leisure and group travel segments.

Strengthening presence across Maharashtra

The addition of the Pawna Lake resort further strengthens the group’s footprint in Maharashtra, complementing its existing presence across cities such as Mumbai, Pune, Kolhapur, Karjat, and Solapur.

This expansion reflects a balanced growth strategy, where the company is building a portfolio across both business destinations and emerging leisure markets.

Growing focus on drive-to destinations

The project highlights a broader trend in India’s hospitality sector, where operators are increasingly investing in drive-to leisure destinations that offer quick escapes from urban centres.

Such locations have gained traction due to rising demand for short-duration travel, experiential stays, and nature-based tourism.

With this signing, Ramee Group continues to strengthen its positioning in experiential hospitality, aligning with evolving traveller preferences and the growing importance of leisure-driven markets in India’s tourism landscape.
