SaffronStays and Hiranandani Communities have partnered to bring property management and hospitality to the luxury villa community at Hiranandani Sands in Alibaug, Maharashtra. SaffronStays will lead this effort on the ground. The three-year collaboration covers the management and potential monetisation of 121 premium private villa plots across approximately 12 acres within Hiranandani Communities’ 225-acre integrated coastal township.
In this role, SaffronStays will run a dedicated front office on-site and take end-to-end ownership of how each villa functions and how each owner experiences it: from day-to-day property upkeep, to premium on-demand services such as on-call private chefs and concierge services including Ro-Ro transport, to experiential services such as celebration set-ups for birthdays, anniversaries and proposals, and sundowners.
Within this township, which is also planned to include five hotels, a convention centre, a yacht club and a dedicated water sports zone, the luxury villa community spans 121 plots across 12 acres and is being developed as a self-contained, gated enclave, where individual owners will design and build their own villas. Through this collaboration, owners will have access to a dedicated, on-ground property management and hospitality operation from the point they take possession.
Devendra Parulekar, Founder, SaffronStays, said, “For twelve years, we have built SaffronStays one home at a time, learning exactly what it takes to run a home the way an owner would want it run. In this role at Hiranandani Sands, we bring that same discipline to an entire address: 121 luxury villas, one standard of care, from the day an owner takes possession. It is the kind of villa community India has not quite seen before.”
Dr. Niranjan Hiranandani, Chairman, Hiranandani Communities, said, “Second-home ownership is evolving. Today, homeowners are looking beyond the property itself to the quality of life, experiences and services that come with it. At Hiranandani Sands, we are creating a destination that combines the privacy and individuality of villa living with the advantages of a thoughtfully planned township. Our partnership with SaffronStays adds another important dimension to this vision by giving homeowners access to professional property management and hospitality services, making ownership more seamless and allowing them to experience their homes to the fullest. This is an important step towards creating a truly integrated coastal lifestyle destination at Hiranandani Sands”
