Lonavala may not really be your idea of a romantic holiday. But just a few kilometres uphill from the bustling market is a little piece of quiet, perfect for a romantic weekend. Located in Jambulne, the property hosts machan rooms that rise up to 20ft to 40ft above the forest floor to give you some brilliant views. For those uneasy about the height, their log cabins are just as special. See more.

Sunken bathtubs and picture windows look out onto Himalayan meadows and the stunning Affarwat peaks at this luxury hideaway.
