Boutique hospitality, rooted in cooperative sustainability
SAMRAT's Resorts & Homestays vertical builds boutique eco-resorts in the Western Ghats and Kerala's backwaters, alongside culturally immersive homestays designed for premium domestic and international travellers seeking authentic, sustainable stays. Phase 2 of the rollout opens the first two flagship eco-resorts in Wayanad and the backwaters.
Every property runs on the SAMRAT ecosystem model — the Café menu is embedded across all locations, dehydrated produce feeds restaurant operations, and spa, wellness, and sustainable tourism positioning differentiate SAMRAT from mass-market hospitality chains. With Kochi ranked among India's top 3 luxury tourist destinations and the Tours & Travels vertical exclusively promoting SAMRAT properties, the business is designed to capture a meaningful share of a ₹32,000 Cr, 17% CAGR market.
