SaffronStays is India's premier family-owned network of fully-staffed, managed private vacation homes, built for families, by a family.
We operate at the intersection of two needs: Indian families who own prized vacation properties and want to unlock their value, and aspirational families seeking private, staffed homes to celebrate life's milestones, all a drive away from India's major cities.
Founded by Deven Parulekar (Ex-Partner, EY | Cyber Security) and Tejas Parulekar (CA & Banker), SaffronStays began with one belief: India deserved the same private, unhurried holiday experience as the world's best homestays. It started with Parsi Manor, Matheran, a 120-year-old colonial home that changed everything.
A decade later:
→ 450+ curated private villas across 80+ driveable destinations
→ Havelis in Rajasthan, geodesic domes in the Himalayas, heritage houseboats in Srinagar, century-old homes revived across Maharashtra, Uttarakhand, Himachal and South India, plus modern villas and fortress-style residences offbeat
Every home is selected for its character and cared for with consistent hospitality. Whether it's a family getaway, friends reuniting, or teams stepping away from screens, our spaces make togetherness effortless. When the setting is right, memories simply happen.
📱 Now the whole journey lives in one place. Plan, book, and manage your stays from the SaffronStays app, available on the App Store and Google Play → saffronstays.com/app
