A strengthened and strategically diverse northern portfolio
SaffronStays’ expansion in North India reflects a fundamental shift in how Indian families travel. As families become increasingly dispersed across cities and countries, travel has evolved beyond sightseeing to become a way to reconnect, celebrate milestones and spend meaningful time together in private, intimate settings.
At the heart of the brand’s curation philosophy is a simple belief: homes bring families together in ways hotels cannot. Every property is selected for its ability to foster togetherness, featuring spacious living areas, large dining tables, outdoor lawns, multiple bedrooms under one roof and warm, personalised hospitality.
In Uttarakhand, the portfolio includes riverside and hillside villas, heritage Kumaoni homes and forest-view retreats across destinations such as Dehradun, Rishikesh, Mukteshwar, Nainital, Bhimtal and Ranikhet. These homes offer tranquil settings ideal for long conversations, shared meals and digital detoxes.
Across Himachal Pradesh, SaffronStays curates alpine chalets, orchard-lined homes and boutique villas in Shimla, Manali, Kasauli, Kufri and surrounding hamlets, designed with cosy lounges, fireplaces and panoramic mountain views that encourage quality family time.\
In Jammu & Kashmir, the collection includes houseboats and private villas in Srinagar, along with secluded alpine estates and wooden chalets in Tanmarg, offering intimate family experiences amid Kashmir’s iconic landscapes.
In Rajasthan, restored havelis and contemporary villas in Jaipur, Udaipur and Mount Abu blend cultural heritage with modern comfort, catering to families celebrating anniversaries, birthdays and reunions. In Uttar Pradesh, Nivāsa: Premium Apartments in Vrindavan provide a serene, private base for spiritually inclined families visiting temple circuits.
Reflecting India’s changing travel behaviour
Across North, West and South India, SaffronStays has become synonymous with family-first travel, offering professionally managed homes that balance regional character with consistent quality. Each property is quality-checked and thoughtfully designed to deliver memorable experiences rooted in connection and comfort.
“Crossing 100 homes in the North is more than a number; it reflects how India’s affluent families now choose to travel,” said Devendra Parulekar, Founder, SaffronStays. “They are prioritising privacy, authentic connection and the comfort of professionally serviced homes over traditional hospitality models. Our homes are meaningful pauses in the pace of life, created for building lasting memories. The North’s diverse landscapes continue to inspire us, and we are proud to lead responsible, quality-focused growth in the region.”
