Ekostay founded in 2018, the hospitality brand today manages over 160 professionally operated vacation homes across the country. Ahead of the monsoon travel season, EkoStay has expanded its portfolio of premium private villas across Maharashtra and Karnataka, strengthening its presence in some of India’s leading leisure destinations.

The latest expansion adds boutique villas in Nashik, Wada, Igatpuri, Lonavala and Chikmagalur. New properties include Vana Mora, Wada Crest, Casa Elara, Casa Bella and Forest Cube Villa, each offering a unique stay experience inspired by its surroundings.

The portfolio features forest retreats, scenic hillside villas, luxury pool homes and spacious accommodations for families and groups. Designed for travellers seeking privacy and comfort, the properties combine contemporary amenities with immersive nature-based experiences.

Husain Khatumdi, Managing Director & Co-Founder, said, “The demand for professionally managed private villas has evolved tremendously in recent years. Guests today are not only seeking luxury, but also reliability, operational consistency and curated hospitality experiences. Our expansion strategy is focused on identifying destinations that have strong long-term leisure potential and building a high-quality villa ecosystem around them. We believe the future of hospitality lies in highly personalised stay experiences that still maintain strong operational standards.”

The expansion comes amid rising demand for private villas and short drive-to holidays. Through these additions, EkoStay aims to cater to evolving traveller preferences by offering professionally managed stays that blend personalised hospitality, thoughtful design and easy access to some of western and southern India’s most popular getaway destinations.
