EkoStay has expanded its portfolio of professionally managed private villas by launching several new properties across Maharashtra and Karnataka ahead of the monsoon travel season. Through this strategic expansion, the hospitality brand aims to strengthen its presence in some of India’s most sought-after drive-to leisure destinations while catering to the growing demand for premium villa stays and experiential travel.
The latest expansion includes boutique villas and curated holiday stays in Nashik, Wada, Igatpuri, Lonavala, and Chikmagalur. With these additions, EkoStay continues to enhance its footprint in India’s rapidly growing alternative accommodation market by offering travelers exclusive stays that combine privacy, comfort, and immersive nature experiences.
The newly launched properties include Vana Mora in Nashik, Wada Crest in Wada, Casa Elara in Igatpuri, Casa Bella in Lonavala, and Forest Cube Villa in Chikmagalur. EkoStay has carefully designed each villa to provide personalized hospitality, premium amenities, and tranquil surroundings, allowing guests to enjoy memorable vacation experiences close to nature.
Moreover, the expanded portfolio features diverse accommodation options ranging from forest retreats and hillside villas to private pool homes and spacious luxury properties suitable for family vacations, weekend getaways, and group holidays.
Among the new offerings, Wada Crest features a three-bedroom villa equipped with a private swimming pool and expansive outdoor spaces. Meanwhile, Casa Elara offers a luxurious five-bedroom property overlooking the scenic hills of Igatpuri. Casa Bella in Lonavala caters to larger groups with spacious gardens and dedicated entertainment areas. Additionally, Forest Cube Villa marks EkoStay’s entry into the picturesque coffee-growing destination of Chikmagalur, further diversifying the company’s hospitality portfolio.
The expansion aligns with the rising popularity of private villas, nature-based tourism, and short-drive vacations, particularly during India’s monsoon season. As more travelers seek secluded accommodations that offer personalized experiences and greater privacy, EkoStay continues to respond by expanding its presence in high-demand leisure destinations.
Commenting on the expansion, Varun Arora, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of EkoStay, said that travelers increasingly prefer private, experience-driven stays that help them connect with destinations instead of simply booking accommodation. He further noted that Maharashtra and Karnataka continue to attract significant interest from urban travelers looking for convenient weekend getaways and short leisure breaks.
Husain Khatumdi, Managing Director and Co-Founder, said the company remains committed to developing professionally managed villas that combine personalized hospitality with consistent service standards. He emphasized that EkoStay continues to focus on delivering premium guest experiences across every property.
Meanwhile, Sohail Mirchandani, Chief Operating Officer and Co-Founder, highlighted the company’s ongoing investment in operational systems and standardized guest services. According to him, these initiatives support EkoStay’s continued expansion while ensuring consistent quality across its growing portfolio.
Adding further insights, Zishan Khan, Chief Acquisition Officer & Co-Founder at EkoStay, said the company’s destination strategy prioritizes locations that deliver meaningful travel experiences while creating opportunities for homeowners to professionally manage and monetize their properties through EkoStay’s hospitality platform.
Founded in 2018, EkoStay has steadily expanded across India’s alternative accommodation industry by offering professionally managed villas, boutique hospitality services, and experience-focused stays for leisure travelers. As domestic tourism continues to flourish, the company remains focused on delivering premium vacation rentals that combine luxury, convenience, and personalized hospitality across India’s leading travel destinations.
EkoStay’s latest expansion reinforces its commitment to meeting the growing demand for luxury private villas and experiential travel across India. By adding premium properties in Maharashtra and Karnataka, the company strengthens its position in the alternative hospitality sector while offering travelers curated holiday experiences and professionally managed accommodations. As demand for private villa stays continues to rise, EkoStay appears well-positioned to capitalize on India’s evolving leisure travel landscape.
