Avas Wellness has become a name synonymous with luxury living anchored in wellness. Starting with Avas Living in Alibaug, the company redefined gated communities in the region by offering not just homes, but integrated ecosystems that combine thoughtful design, wellness, and seamless property management. This approach has resonated widely, establishing Avas as one of the most aspirational addresses on India’s west coast.
Founder and CEO Aditya Kilachand emphasizes that Avas was never solely about real estate. “It was about creating communities that nurture body, mind, and spirit.” Central to this vision is the Avas Design Studio, which collaborates with leading architects globally to craft spaces that feel timeless and deeply connected to nature. With Avas Living, the brand demonstrated the potential of embedding wellness into every layer of community life, while Avas Bespoke extends this philosophy to customized homes for a select clientele.
Market response has validated this approach. Avas Wellness has recorded unprecedented sales and consistently achieved the highest per-square-foot prices in Alibaug, with villas at Avas Living transacting at over INR 40,000 per square foot and landmark sales surpassing INR 30 crore for a 5,000 sq. ft. villa on one acre. The trust of residents, which includes global professionals, industry leaders, and actors, alongside investors such as Adar Poonawalla and Gaurav Kapur, and collaboration with wellness ambassador Virat Kohli, has reinforced the brand’s reputation as a community people aspire to join.
The latest offering, Ananta by Avas, represents a key milestone. The project combines tropical modern and Balinese design through a partnership between the Avas Design Studio and Felipe González Jiménez de la Espada, a Madrid-born, Bali-based architect celebrated for his transformative Balinese design style. His approach, which utilizes local materials and promotes fluid indoor-outdoor living, brings a profound connection to nature, being introduced to Alibaug for the first time.
Anchored by Alibaug’s first Racquet Club, Ananta features padel and pickleball courts, tennis courts, a golf simulator, and a recovery center with cryotherapy, thermal circuits, and wellness-led hospitality. This integration of sport, design, and community positions Ananta as a unique offering in India. With estimated realizations exceeding INR 500 crore, it is among the most coveted wellness-led residential projects in the region and complements the Avas Living community, collectively forming India’s first integrated wellness-living ecosystem. As Kilachand notes, it reflects a future where “health is the ultimate wealth.”
Investors have also benefited. Beyond the lifestyle advantages, residential properties in Alibaug have appreciated at 12–15% annually, with rental yields of 4–6%. Infrastructure improvements, such as the Atal Setu and the upcoming Rewas Karanja Bridge, are reducing commute times from South Mumbai to just over an hour, enhancing growth prospects. Strategically located and design-focused, Avas communities stand out for their scarcity and lasting value.
Looking ahead, early 2026 will see the launch of the Avas Wellness Center & Spa at Avas Living, offering holistic therapies, an artisan boulangerie, a beauty and skin clinic, and curated culinary experiences. The Avas Membership program will underpin the company’s hospitality arm, starting with the Wellness Center and Racquet Club, and later extending to initiatives like an equestrian center.
The upcoming Avana project will be Avas’ most exclusive yet, featuring 9–10 estate villas on one-acre plots, along with community spaces for celebrations, weddings, and retreats. Additional lifestyle concepts, such as a boutique equestrian center, will further enhance the community experience.
“The idea is always the same: with every project, Avas should elevate what it means to live well. But equally, it’s about building with care. We’re not in a race of numbers, every community is a micro ecosystem, designed with deep attention to detail, and built to be cherished by families for generations to come,” Kilachand shares.
Today, Avas Wellness has evolved beyond being just a developer and, in fact, has become a movement reshaping second-home living in India. Through a combination of record sales, global design collaborations, celebrity patrons, and a wellness-driven vision, the brand continues to chart Alibaug’s next chapter. Moreover, Kilachand’s goal remains simple yet profound: to create ecosystems where luxury and wellness form the very foundation of life.
