8 Reasons Group Getaways Are Better At Villas

Group holidays bring about a different kind of fun. But in hotels, the merriment is usually disrupted with the presence of strangers and strict timings. Having rooms allotted far away from each other kills half the fun. Villas solve all of these issues, and much more. If you want your next family trip to be a smash hit, a SaffronStays villa is the answer. And here’s why — with reference to some of our best villas for group getaways near Mumbai and Goa!

1. Ultimate Privacy

Why spoil your holiday surrounded by strangers and unwanted interruptions? At villas, you and your party will get complete and total privacy. There’s no need to share the gorgeous dining spaces. The total solitude creates an ideal space for a private pool party, like at SaffronStays Raanwaara and Aranya Vilaas’s stunning infinity pool. At our villas, the home and its services are entirely yours.

2. Personalised Meals

The whims of the stomach are unpredictable. Some days you crave a feast and on others, instant noodles fit the bill. At SaffronStays you can tailor every meal according to the mood of the hour. The impeccably trained staff will bring mouth-watering delicacies that suit everybody’s taste. Like the in-house chef, Ashwini, at Summer Salt, who is a pro at making authentic Alibaug-style chicken gravy and prawn fry!

3. Hotel-like Luxury and Home-like Comfort

Villas bring you the best of both worlds on your time off. Plush interiors and smooth services provide a lavish experience like in the opulent Arezu, which has a mix of Moroccan tiles and Persian decor. Meanwhile, the freedom and privacy of the villa allow your group to sprawl out at ease, like you would at a house party. If you’re looking for a quick getaway near Mumbai, this is an ideal choice.

What’s a vacation with rules? Here, you and your friends can let your hair down and go by your own clock. Wake up at noon and chit-chat among the likes of Marilyn Monroe and John Lennon in the perfect chill room at Grand Mansion Of Saipem Hills. Or stargaze late into the night from one of Falcon Hill’s many bewitching balconies. The deluxe pool villa offers several lookout points from where you can enjoy the spectacular view of Lonavala valley.

Sprawling villas like the splendid Sundowner provide ample space for your group to hang out — from 8 different bedrooms to the pool and deck area.

Just a drive from Mumbai, SaffronStays Sundowner even has a rain dance facility for an extra splash of fun. There is an ideal nook for every vibe and nothing is off-limits!
