EkoStay has achieved a major expansion milestone by onboarding and launching multiple premium villas across India’s leading leisure destinations, thereby strengthening its presence in high-demand holiday markets nationwide.
Over the last two months, the company has added eight new villas to its expanding portfolio, including three in Panchgani, one in Igatpuri, one in Dahanu, and three in Alibaug, and thus it has reinforced its footprint across Maharashtra’s most sought-after getaway corridors.
Building on this momentum, EkoStay will launch five additional villas this month, including one in Palghar, two in Kodaikanal, and two in Goa, and consequently, it will expand into both emerging coastal markets and established luxury leisure hubs.
Furthermore, the brand has accelerated growth in its premium category by closing three Luxe category villas in Ooty, featuring expansive 4, 5, and 6 BHK configurations. These properties are currently undergoing final readiness procedures, and the company expects to make them live next month.
Speaking about the expansion, Varun Arora, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder, EkoStay, said, “India’s travel behaviour has fundamentally shifted towards private, experience-led stays where travellers seek space, flexibility, and curated hospitality. Our recent expansion reflects both growing consumer demand and strong homeowner confidence in professionally managed vacation rentals. We are focused on building depth within high-performing micro-markets while simultaneously unlocking new leisure destinations that show strong long-term potential.”
Additionally, Husain Khatumdi, Managing Director and Co-Founder, EkoStay, highlighted the brand’s partnership-driven model. “Our vision has always been to simplify hosting for homeowners while delivering consistent guest experiences. Every new property onboarding represents a partnership built on trust. As more second home owners look at structured asset monetisation, professionally managed homestays are becoming a strong alternate income stream, and we see tremendous opportunity ahead.”
Commenting on acquisition strategy and market trends, Zishan Khan, Chief Acquisition Officer and Co-Founder, EkoStay, said, “We are seeing accelerated interest from homeowners across destinations that were previously considered niche leisure markets. Our acquisition strategy is focused on quality inventory rather than scale alone. The Luxe villas in Ooty represent the next phase of curated expansion where design, location, and experiential value come together.”
Moreover, Sohail Mirchandani, Chief Operating Officer and Co-Founder, EkoStay, emphasized operational consistency amid rapid growth. “As we expand, maintaining standardization alongside personalisation remains critical. Each property undergoes a structured operational and guest experience integration process before going live. Our goal is to ensure that regardless of destination, guests experience the same reliability and service quality that defines EkoStay.”
EkoStay’s latest expansion underscores the accelerating demand for professionally managed private villas across India’s top leisure destinations. By combining curated inventory, homeowner partnerships, and standardized operational processes, the company strengthens its competitive position in the premium vacation rental market. As experiential travel gains momentum, EkoStay’s focus on quality-led growth and emerging lifestyle destinations positions it for sustained long-term expansion.
