Nandi Hills, Bangalore — Picture Source: Google

The verdant region surrounding Bangalore is dotted with waterfalls, animal sanctuaries and rivers awaiting exploration.

One of the best Kerala tourist places, Wayanad is a great place for adventure tourism thanks to its abundance of natural features such as towering mountains, thick forests and rushing rivers.

Banasura Dam, the biggest Earth Dam in India, is worth a visit, as is Wayanad’s highest summit, Chembra Peak, where you can watch the sun set behind the mountains.

Ooty or the Queen of the Hills is known for its delicate and beautiful nature.

Navratri 2022: What Adds The Saffron To SaffronStays?

1st October 202220th March 2025Posted in SaffronStays DiariesTagged family holidays, Fine hospitality, Kesar, long weekend getaways, luxury villas, navratri 2022, Orange day, saffronstays, Signature by SaffronStays, travelogues, villas near Mumbai, Weekend getaways, Weekend Getaways from Mumbai, Where Families Bond

The one question that has never faded away is why “Saffron” Stays. On the auspicious occasion of celebrating the seventh day of Navratri 2022, the day celebrated with Orange, we thought we should reveal our little secret. A little insight into our world; what puts the Saffron in SaffronStays.

Drawing inspiration from not only the colour but also the spice that holds its importance all over South Asia and large parts of Asia, Saffron (well known as Kesar in India) is very delicate, to be plucked by hand and kept intact. A tiresome process which makes one appreciate it even more.

A philosophy we adopt while choosing the best villas, estates and homes that eventually become a part of our Family.

Sight in your eyes, vision in your mind!

It is almost impossible to watch a sunset and not dream.

– Bernard Williams

The rich crimson of Saffron, which transforms into a subtle yet vibrant shade of orange as it imprints itself where used, is a soothing sight to behold…much like the way you’d witness the golden sun dipping over the hills or the verdant valleys and dense greenery, enveloping itself around our stunning villas.

A colour that pops; something, you will notice in every home with us in our logo and branding.

Fun Fact: Check out our SaffronStays Logo. The five saffron strands denote your special family, equal, hand-in-hand, together. Did you know that there is a small home hidden inside our logo? It’s an Easter egg.

Smells trigger such vivid memories

Our sharpest memories are shaped by our sense of smell. A whiff of a certain flower or the first rains hitting the rapidly drying grass, brings back memories of your childhood, playing in your backyard as a 6-year-old. The memories that come flooding back to you are a happy side effect of the way your brain is wired. We zeroed in on precisely this aspect of the spice.

Take a slow, long whiff… you’ll find yourself mesmerized by the aroma that’s subtle yet powerful enough to take you down memory lane of all the times you watched your old folks light up an agarbatti, used the oil to keep yourself warm through the harsh colds, or watched the pandits use the chandan and kesar paste in their temples; all associated with peace, warmth and bringing in a sense of togetherness. And when you enter such sacred spaces of togetherness, you will remember SaffronStays.

Fun Fact: Did you know that you’ll be welcomed with subtle traces of saffron at every villa with us? Psst… smell the shampoos and shower gels carefully, on your next stay 🙂 Yes, we hacked your brain.

Tastes that remind you of a simpler life

Perhaps a part of the spice that each of us connects to the most: the soft, sweet taste it adds to your childhood favourite masala milk, the flavourful zaffran biryani, the creamy shrikhand that perfectly wraps up every meal or the hot cup of chai that makes your day.

World Tourism Day: A Walk Down The Memory Lane With SaffronStays

27th September 202220th March 2025Posted in SaffronStays DiariesTagged Alibaug, family holidays, family vacation, khandala, Lonavala, Road trips, saffronstays, Signature by SaffronStays, Udupi, Unforgettable Memories, Weekend getaways, Weekend Getaways from Mumbai, weekend trips, Where Families Bond, world tourism day

Celebrating World Tourism Day with memories – condensed fragments of happiness, comfort and warmth borrowed from time.

When I joined SaffronStays in November 2020, the world was co-existing with the coronavirus. Travelling to someplace new felt like a dream packaged with anxiety, survivors guilt and of course, a whole lot of contemplation. Masks, sanitisers, human touch, hand gloves, more than 3 people in the same room… you know?

It was in January 2021 when I realised that the world, coronavirus AND travel can co-exist too. At SaffronStays, we called it ‘privacy, safety and experiential’. Until that time, I only used these terms as any Marketer would – USPs of the brand you’re writing for. Don’t blame me, I’d joined the organisation just 2 months back.

These terms – privacy, safety and experiential – became more than just brand USPs when in April 2021, the entire Marketing team decided to travel to Lonavala to one of the best villas of SaffronStays to shoot and collect content for the ‘Summers At SaffronStays’ campaign.

Where Families Bond, Truly:

The pandemic followed by the mandatory lockdown had enforced a Work From Home (who knew it’d become a thing now) situation on all of us. And because I joined the team during an unusual time as such, I’d never seen my team, people I worked with and talked to almost everyday, in 3D. Yes, remember the ‘can-we-get-on-a-zoom-call’ phase?

2 cars, 9 people, lots of snacks to munch on and just the perfect weather – our content shoot was ALSO becoming an offsite we all knew we needed desperately. After driving for less than 100 kilometers through the western ghats of Lonavala, we reached our first SaffronStays’ villa.

I ticked ‘privacy’ off the checklist immediately. While we were surrounded by other villas, every villa was spacious and big enough for us to get our work completed seamlessly, in peace. After a change of multiple outfits, endless retakes, high fives for getting the perfect shot and really good food, the entire team retired and kicked back in the huge balcony. Conversations floated from everyone’s music taste to funny experiences in their past jobs to funny incidents in our current jobs and ultimately culminating into everyone talking about what they admired about each other. It was the perfect impromptu #TeamBonding exercise.

I remember everything from that day – the cool breeze reigning in during the golden hour, making us drop our work, gaze at the setting sun and just being one with the calm atmosphere; the sky gently lapping into the hues of the night, the silence and mostly, the smiles. I felt closer to my team, and thus, my organisation that day.

Memories – seconds fabricated into everlasting moments.

Solo Travelling For Work:

I found my heart skipping a beat when I headed to SaffronStays Suvarna Sangam in Udupi: one of the best homes in South India. Reason? It’s an estate of 4 cosy cottages and to be very honest, I usually prefer cosy and rustic (fist bump if you come under this category). Besides this, it is surrounded by the Suvarna River from THREE SIDES! ALSO, the Mangalorean twist to the hospitality offered by the local caretakers will win you over. Now, I know, talking good things about the brand you work for is biased but I would be saying the same things if I’d gone there as a guest. And THIS was a big deal to me – to feel good about your association with the company. This was a 3-night long work trip ‘with nature as company’, I must say.

The quietude interrupted only by the euphonious rustling of the coconut trees, the early morning sun blessing the river bank, the unending bliss of the night and the leisurely pace at which I could work, relax and reconnect with myself, mid-work breaks on the riverside deck, the speedboat ride to see the mangroves and the hint of coconut in anything and everything edible – I felt safe, at peace, and enjoyed everything.

Memories – a picture book of your fondest moments with time.

Experiencing The Best Of Both The Worlds – Work And Holiday:
In September 2021, the entire Marketing team had planned a content shoot to Alibaug. The agenda was to capture a whole lot of festive and winter content. After the ‘Summer At SaffronStays’ campaign, this was the first time the entire team was travelling and working on-the-go together. We had to cover 8 homes in 2 days.

As soon as we reached each home, we used to do a recce of the entire estate, open our bank of ideas, think of something new, change outfits if needed, start shooting, finish shooting, travel to the other home and repeat. This routine went on till 8 pm when we finally reached SaffronStays Gardenia – our home for the night. It has a massive garden that rolls right up to the first floor over 2 protruding arms. I always wanted to see this home in person – since the time I saw its pictures on our website. The structure looks very unique and classy. This home is where we had planned to shoot most of the festive and winter content. And so, some of us got started with helping the staff with the barbecue preps while some others helped other staff members create a festive vibe for the shoot. Around 11:30 pm, we were ready to shoot. Reels, photos, videos, boomerangs – we juiced out everything.

It was 1:30 am and we were finally done with the shoot. Tired legs, sleepy eyes but smiling faces. We were proud – of each other, and ourselves. We sang, we danced (for reels and also otherwise), we worked, we hustled but most importantly, we slept that night with satisfaction in our hearts.

Memories – a collection of experiences, divided chapter by chapter.

So, when I was asked to write a blog on A Walk Down Memory Lane With SaffronStays for World Tourism Day, I knew in my heart that I had to write about all these unique homes at all these stunning locations that I had the opportunity to explore with the #BestTeamEver.

When are you setting out to make everlasting memories with your favourite people?
