amã Stays & Trails, the premium homestay offering by Indian Hotel Company, has reached a milestone. It now has over 200 bungalows in its portfolio, spread across offbeat locations in more than 15 states in India.
Deepika Rao, executive vice-president, New Businesses and Hotel Openings, IHCL, “Homestays is a fast-evolving segment in India’s hospitality landscape with the growing demand for experiential leisure travel. In line with IHCL’s strategy of achieving scale and being the most premium offering in the segments we operate in, our luxury homestay brand has today exceeded a 200+ bungalow portfolio.”
She added, “Our growth strategy has been two-fold, penetrating into high demand clusters like Goa and Maharashtra and building a footprint anchored around IHCL hotels to enable cross synergies and service excellence. The development of homestay villas is witnessing infusion of fresh capital via green field projects reflective of growing investor confidence. Today, over 65% of the pipeline are in the nature of new builds.”

These include British colonial-style villas, Portuguese cottages, homes inspired by traditional Kerala architecture, and contemporary homestays. Each property is thoughtfully designed to reflect the local culture and heritage, giving guests a chance to immerse themselves in the region’s history and charm.
