This marks the first X Series property in the state, extending the brand’s most distinctive estate category into one of India’s most iconic cultural destinations.

The X Series was created to address a specific shift in how large groups celebrate and travel today. As occasions become more intimate yet more meaningful, there is a growing need for spaces that can host people together, without making the experience feel shared in the traditional sense. With Solitaire Villa, this philosophy finds its first expression in Rajasthan.

The X Series responds to this by offering larger-than-life private estates built around a defining “X factor”. This X factor is unique to every home. It could be immersive design elements, standout architectural features, or layered experiences that cannot be replicated in a standard villa stay. The idea is simple: bring people together for milestone moments, while ensuring every individual still has a sense of personal space, privacy, and ownership within the same estate.

With Solitaire Villa, this philosophy finds its first expression in Rajasthan.

Devendra Parulekar, Founder, SaffronStays, said, “SaffronStays Solitaire brings the X-Series experience to Rajasthan. It is designed for guests who want to celebrate together at scale, while still having their own space within the same estate.”

Set across four levels near Eklingji Temple, Solitaire is a six-suite estate where every bedroom comes with its own private pool. Select suites feature glass-roof ceilings and rain showers, while the top-floor suites offer heated pools with open-sky views. The layout allows multiple couples or families to stay under one roof, while experiencing the home as their own.

“SaffronStays Solitaire brings the X Series to Rajasthan in a way that reflects how people want to celebrate today. It is about scale, but more importantly, about how that scale is experienced by every individual within the group.”

The estate is designed for celebration-led stays. It includes a private home theatre with lounge beds, a games room, and a dedicated top-floor entertainment zone with an enclosed dance floor and multiple outdoor sit-outs. A central pool, expansive lawn, and vegetable garden form the social core of the property.

Dining is anchored by an in-house restaurant serving pure vegetarian and Jain cuisine, making it especially suited for families and groups with specific dietary preferences. The villa is equipped with a lift for accessibility and can host gatherings of up to 40 to 50 guests.

Located close to Eklingji Temple and Nathdwara, and within driving distance of Lake Pichola, Fateh Sagar Lake, and the City Palace, the estate offers a blend of cultural access and private, experience-led living.

With this addition, the brand’s portfolio in the state now stands at 60+ properties across Udaipur, Jaipur, Ranthambore, Pushkar, Alwar and Neemrana, under ELIVAAS, ELIVAAS Privé and Alaya Stays.

This new Pushkar address underscores ELIVAAS’s calibrated growth strategy in experience-led destinations. Rather than rapid scale, the brand has focused on measured expansion into markets with sustained demand for private villas, curated group stays, and destination celebrations. Over the past few years, ELIVAAS has steadily strengthened its presence in Rajasthan, building right density in key micro-markets while maintaining operational discipline.

Every new launch is anchored by a standardised service playbook that governs housekeeping benchmarks, guest response systems, safety protocols and quality audits. At the same time, each stay is shaped around guest preferences and occasion-specific requirements, allowing personalisation to coexist with consistency.

“Rajasthan today represents one of our most strategically important regions, with 60+ operational properties across key leisure destinations. Our entry into Pushkar is backed by destination-level demand data rather than sentiment. The town has seen a steady rise in premium leisure travel over the past few years, particularly from Delhi NCR and Jaipur, with a clear shift towards private, high-quality villa stays.

As we expand, our standardised operating playbook ensures service consistency across locations, while each villa continues to offer a curated and personalised experience. Beyond accommodation, we deliver end-to-end holiday experiences, from curated activities and local immersion to personalised service, ensuring every stay is seamless and memorable. Our focus remains on building depth within high-intent leisure markets rather than expanding indiscriminately across geographies,” said Ritwik Khare, Founder and CEO of ELIVAAS Living.

The newly introduced ELIVAAS Tuscun Villa, a five-bedroom pet-friendly retreat with a private pool and landscaped lawn, complements Pushkar’s heritage setting with contemporary comfort. Located within an accessible distance of the town’s temples and lakes, the villa strengthens ELIVAAS’s commitment to destination-led growth.

ELIVAAS continues to scale through disciplined expansion, service standardisation and thoughtful entry into culturally resonant markets. Pushkar marks another assured step in that journey.

A 4,650 sq ft private sanctuary that represents the property’s most exclusive stay, features a double-storey, fully equipped kitchen, automated settings, along with world-class amenities. Moreover, the penthouse’s 2 + 2 unit is available in both 4 BHK and 2 BHK configurations, specifically designed keeping in mind families, friends or discerning travellers who seek privacy, indulgence and the ease of hosting bigger gatherings. 

The move marks a strategic step in the brand’s journey towards high-value experience-led hospitality aimed at strengthening revenue per key, while catering to a niche high-spend traveller segment.

The crown jewel of The Astor Goa’s 72 thoughtfully designed suites, this penthouse will bring a new standard of luxury hospitality in the state. Positioned as a boutique luxury hotel, it represents an emerging hybrid format that allows hotels to differentiate their luxury inventory while maximising value from high-impact stays. The penthouse’s design-forward philosophy is accentuated across two distinct configurations.

True to The Astor Goa’s promise, the penthouse and the regular suites alike extend signature amenities such as extended breakfast hours till noon, a complimentary mini-bar, complimentary beach transfers, and the added comfort of kids below 12 years staying free.

Vikram Puri, Managing Director, Archer Hospitality Pvt Ltd, said, “Villa in the Sky is our answer to a clear shift in the way luxury is being sought today. Luxury is no longer only defined by excess, but by space, privacy, and bespoke services. And Villa in the Sky offers exactly that. It positions The Astor Goa as the go-to address for those who value their personal space and an experience tailored specially to their needs and wants. For us, this strategic category expansion also underscores our commitment to catering to the evolving demands of travellers seeking exceptional experiences, as well as our long-term vision of redefining what a boutique luxury hotel in Goa can truly be.”

In the same vein, Vaibhav Gupta, General Manager, The Astor Goa, adds, “Staying in ‘Villa in the Sky’ is all about how luxury makes you feel. Whether it’s enjoying quiet moments by the private plunge pool, dining in the comfort of your own space, or having a dedicated concierge attend to your needs, every attention to detail is to make the stay authentically yours and perfectly seamless. It is an intimate, curated world within our luxury boutique hotel.”

‘Villa in the Sky’ is an experience reflecting the growing commercial importance of immersive stays in the premium hospitality segment, where every moment is meticulously crafted for the guests to have fun, laze, and explore Goa like never before.

Fun entails in-house soirées, private karaoke sessions, and tailored special events, all within the privacy of your penthouse. 

‘Laze’ takes on a new meaning with afternoon high tea, serving artisanal blends and delicate bites by the pool. For relaxation and rejuvenation, there are signature massage treatments by the in-house spa. 

To explore Goa’s traditional cuisine within the comfort of your residence, there is a culinary masterclass on Goa’s ancestral food and a private chef’s table, where one can relish a six-course, immersive dining experience. Such curated, in-residence experiences enable hotels to drive longer stays, deeper guest engagement and increased per-guest spend. Converting culinary moments into fun, it offers a Sunrise ‘Wake & Bake’ celebration, a rave-inspired coffee brewing and a sourdough workshop.
