Luxunlock Private Villas was created in 2020 by Rucha and Ashish to offer discerning design-minded travellers a way to experience and enjoy some of the most beautiful private homes in Southern India. There was just one key value that they looked for – does the house tell a story? Does it stir an emotion of wonderment when you step through its doors; does it evoke an emotion of joy and tranquility as you walk through and live in its spaces. This singular quality defines their portfolio of 25 luxury villas and B&Bs scattered across Tamil Nadu, Pondicherry, Kerala and Goa. All of their homes that they operate pay tribute to sustainability, preservation, heritage and design. Layered on this is a small but fabulous team drawn from the top luxury hospitality brands in India that delivers the highest standards of comfort in a home-like setting. Vernacular architecture, restored century-old homes, upcycled décor and building materials, sustainable construction, and just brilliant modern design that is drawn from age-old traditions are a hallmark of the homes that they have found and curated for travellers. Key to this has been their ability to find these hidden gems, build trust in the owners of these inspired homes, and offer them selectively to travellers who appreciate design and great service. Their homes are to be found in popular destinations such as Pondicherry, Goa, The Nilgiris, Kodaikanal, the Kerala backwaters and Ahmedabad. But equally their homes are also opening up new destinations to travellers – in far flung places such as the Alamparai Coast, the Cauvery Delta, Chettinad and the Gulf of Mannar. Luxunlock has also launched the world’s first private villa journey – a trail across Tamil Nadu that introduces travellers to the cultural, historical and culinary delights of this beautiful region of India, while staying at one unique home after another.
