About the Home

Welcome to Antaraa - a Hilltop Haven Where Every Second Feels Like a Celebration of Life


  • There are escapes - and then there are transformations. One moment, you're weaving through the chaos of Mumbai’s traffic, your phone buzzing with endless emails, the city’s hum thick around you. And just an hour later, you arrive here overlooking the beautiful Kalote Lake.
  • A majestic Balinese-style pet friendly, lake view retreat perched on a serene hilltop, where the only thing louder than the silence is the pounding of your heart as you take in the view.
  • Before you, stands a villa carved out of dreams. Wooden columns rise tall, the earthy facade glows in the golden light, and a mirror-like lake stretches into the horizon, still and spellbinding. The shift in energy is instant. You breathe deeper, smile wider, and for the first time in a long time - you arrive.
  • Step inside and you’re swept into a world of tropical indulgence. Every corner is a page from a Balinese design journal- handpicked teakwood flown straight from the island, cane and rattan details that whisper calm, wooden pavilions that frame nature like art, and lush green alcoves that feel like they belong in a Ubud spa.
  • Each bedroom is a sanctuary in itself, opening out to sweeping greenery and shimmering water views. The home doesn’t just impress—it embraces. Designed for effortless indoor-outdoor living, it offers breezy lounges, reading nooks, poolside daybeds, and shaded decks that coax you to linger just a little longer.
  • And then there’s the pool. Not just a pool - a masterpiece larger then life pool. Massive, elegant, and crafted with intent for the homeowner and homeowner’s son, a trained & national level swimming athletes, it invites you to dive into stillness by day, and float under a canopy of stars by night.
  • And when it comes to leisure, there’s no script. Explore nature trails, challenge friends to a board game marathon, perform yoga and meditate at sunrise, or simply do nothing at all - just gaze at the lake, let time slow down, and let the stillness wrap around you like a warm hug.
  • Take the excitement up a notch with a visit to the nearby Camp Max, where kids can dive into a range of fun-filled activities — from hands-on pottery and a friendly petting zoo to the thrill of kayaking and more.
  • Hungry? Get ready to be spoiled. The in-house chefs are culinary magicians, trained to dish out everything from soul-satisfying local fare to gourmet global feasts. Picture this: an Asian barbecue under swaying palms, a boho-style brunch by the pool, or a candle-lit lakeside dinner tailored just for you.
  • Because this may not be Bali - but in the moments that truly matter, it’s something even more magical. It’s a place that doesn’t just take your breath away - it gives it back. And for as long as you’re here, this paradise is all yours.

    From elderly parents to a child to a dog - everyone felt genuinely cared for during our two-night stay at Antara, and that really says everything. The food deserves a special mention: simple, honest, deeply comforting and incredibly delicious. Every dietary requirement was handled thoughtfully, without fuss or reminders. The pool was absolute bliss - yes, freezing cold - but bliss nonetheless, the kind you brave because the setting makes it irresistible. The property itself is tucked into a truly gorgeous location, incredibly easy to reach from Mumbai, making it perfect for a short, restorative weekend away. The house is quaint, charming and quietly beautiful - the kind of place that photographs well without trying too hard. Rooms were spotless, washrooms were clean and well maintained and the beds were so comfortable they made surfacing in the mornings a little harder than usual. What stood out most, though, was the service. A heartfelt thank you to the entire team - especially Chef Rohan and the caretaker, Datta, who went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed. This was right after a packed New Year’s, with a large group having just stayed there - yet not once did we feel like a “smaller” group receiving lesser attention. The warmth and care never dipped. All in all, a genuinely lovely experience. Calm, comfortable, thoughtfully run - and a good time had by all, across generations (and species!!!?)

    We had a lovely stay at Antaara. The property itself is gorgeous and looks exactly like the pictures but what made our stay exceptional was the staff. Lovely meals by Chef Rohan and his team and very attentive staff including Datta, Parmod and the rest who took exceptional care of us. We had an amazing stay and would fully recommend Antaara.

    We had a great time at Antara! The place is exactly how you see it in the pictures. Very spacious with an awesome view & is very clean and well maintained by their staff. The people who work there are extremely nice & go above and beyond to make your stay a very comfortable one. We were a group of 13 people & the place was perfect for us, with a great pool which all of us enjoyed. The food was also very homely and tasty. Special mention to their amazing staff - Rohan,Raju,Dutta, & the entire Antaara Holidays team.

    Thank you so much to Dutta and team for your amazing hospitality. The villa is beautiful, view is outstanding and service was great! They organised a beautiful outdoor dinner for us and accommodated all requests. The only thing I would say for people travelling with pets - there are two strays dogs that live at the gate and slip inside sometimes.

    One of the most amazing properties I have stayed at.. we were a group of 9 people and everyone loved it.. unhindered views of the lake, secluded location, good sized pool. Datta and Pramod, the caretakers were cordial and assisted us well. All in all a great choice for a group outing and worth the value.

    A perfect blend of nature and luxury! We recently stayed at Antaraa by SaffronStays and it was an absolutely delightful experience. The property is stunning—beautifully maintained with a perfect mix of natural surroundings and luxurious amenities. The food was exceptional—every meal felt like it was prepared with care and tasted just like home, only better! There were plenty of fun activities to enjoy—from a relaxing swim and BBQ picnic to spending time at the petting zoo. Whether you’re looking to unwind or have a little adventure, this place has something for everyone. A special shoutout to the staff for their warm hospitality and constant cooperation—they truly went the extra mile to make our experience next level. Highly recommend it for a peaceful getaway with family or friends. Will definitely be coming back!
