EkoStay, a leading name in India’s vacation home rental space, has announced a significant expansion milestone with the launch of multiple premium villas across high-demand holiday markets. This growth trajectory reflects a fundamental shift in Indian travel behavior toward private, experience-led stays that offer space, flexibility, and professional hospitality.
Over the past two months, EkoStay has added eight new villas to its portfolio, including properties in Panchgani (3), Alibaug (3), Igatpuri (1), and Dahanu (1). Building on this momentum, the brand is set to launch five more villas this month in Palghar, Kodaikanal, and Goa. Furthermore, the company has secured three Luxe category villas in Ooty, featuring expansive 4, 5, and 6 BHK configurations, expected to go live next month.
Varun Arora, CEO and Co-Founder, EkoStay, highlighted the shift in consumer demand: “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.”
Husain Khatumdi, Managing Director and Co-Founder, noted that second-home owners are increasingly looking at structured asset monetization, while Zishan Khan, Chief Acquisition Officer, emphasized that the focus remains on “quality inventory rather than scale alone.” Sohail Mirchandani, COO, added that maintaining standardization and service reliability is critical as the brand enters new niche leisure markets.
