Luxury real estate investment, a safe investment option
The luxury real estate market has been booming. The market has been showing steady growth and good returns. The luxury segment has been doing quite well despite the current situation of the real estate sector. This has led to an increase in investment in the luxury segment of the real estate market and a rise in the purchase of holiday homes.
What is a luxury property?
A simple high price tag does not add up to a luxurious property. There are various differentiating characteristics of a luxury home. A luxury property is all about unique designs and world-class amenities. It is the exclusivity and privacy that it offers that sets it apart from other residential homes. They are often designed by elite and international designers. The property is technologically up to date and often offers additional facilities like gyms, spas, home theatres, etc. Isprava’s villas for sale in Goa and villas in Coonoor are fully equipped with such opulent amenities.
Luxury Segment
After a slow yet steady few seasons, the luxury segment has finally started growing at an increasing speed. Due to the current turmoil that the real estate sector is facing, there is a huge pile-up of inventory and fluctuation of prices. This is being seen as an advantage by the HNI’s. With an increase in their disposable income and want for exclusivity and privacy, these individuals have started looking into investing in luxury properties. In anticipation of the prices to go up furthermore, luxury properties are looking like an ideal investment. NRI’s too are contributing to the growth of this segment in India. The value of the Rupee has fallen and this has provided the NRI’s with a great incentive to invest in these properties. The large pile-up of inventory has in return provided them with a large variety to choose from. NRI’ usually like to invest in their hometowns or places they have grown up with and associate with. However, trends show that individuals are now also willing to invest in a pristine destination to build luxury holiday homes. The government’s measures to add regime and discipline in the real estate sector have also re-instilled people’s faith in the market, kick-starting purchase in the market. Apart from this, builders are taking innovation and creative steps to increase the sale of their luxury inventory. Apart from providing top-notch amenities and bespoke designs, builders are also offering various other services. This is why this is the right time to invest in the luxury real estate market.
At Isprava, we to apply the best of methods and offer the best of services to provide not only a luxury home but also a hassle-free purchase and construction of a luxury villa for sale in Goa and luxury villa for sale in Coonoor. We offer our customers the luxury of time in addition to everything else. We identify their pain points, e.g. of paperwork, due diligence or maintenance of the property. We then take away these pain points from our customers looking to buy luxury villas in Goa and Coonoor, by carrying and taking care of these processes ourselves.
Benefits of investing in the luxury market
Investing in the luxury market offers a lot of benefits, both in monetary and non-monetary terms. The luxury segment provides the owner with extremely high returns as only the elite and affluent are associated with its affordability. For a rental perspective too, these properties attract high rates and earn their owner good yields. In non-monetary terms, the homes provide exclusivity and privacy. Features like being placed on higher floors, soundproof interiors and picturesque views allow the people to disconnect from the hustle-bustle of the chaotic outdoors.

How to Make a Small Space Look Bigger
How to Make a Small Space Look Bigger
It is more than just the details that counts in a small room. Right from that artful décor near the closet to the kind of bed sheet on the bed. A small room can feel dauntingly congested and demeaning to the mood, which is why it is imperative to do something about it. And fortunately, it only takes a few design and décor tips to bring about that illusionary change.
Pull up the Curtains
The quickest and by far the most effective trick to make a small space look bigger, is to just let the natural light in. Open up the windows, pull up the curtains, and let the sun light enter in. This will not only bring in a positive and lively vibe but also brighten up the room and make it look more spacious than it is.
Paint it Soft
Your preferences may not comprise of the soft hues, and you may be inclined towards the dark shades on the wall or other elements. However, if the room lacks in space, it is better to stick to a subdued palette. Pastels, neutrals, and other soft colours will not only add to the space but also make it look more inviting.
Declutter and Organize
If a room is already of a minimal size, one simply cannot afford to have clutter and unnecessary belongings lying around that will add to its constricted ambience. It is crucial to de-clutter and organize, keeping in mind of what is actually needed and what is simply taking up space.
Multi-functional Furniture
What essentially takes up most of the space in a room is the furniture. To avoid that, while still not having to compromise on the storage and convenience, multi-functional furniture is highly recommended. Moreover, it is suggested to place them against the wall to create more open space.
Designing the interiors of your home in ways that help strike the desired look is tricky but also immensely impactful.
We pay attention to these intricate features to cast the right ambience at our luxury private villas in Goa and property for sale in Nilgiris. That is what makes them ideal for long weekend plans with friends and romantic weekend getaways throughout the year.

Traveling during the rainy months may not be the most preferred by everyone, but it sure does have many advantages; solace, reduced prices, and of course, the enhanced beauty of the Nature to name a few.

These considerations encompass not only safety hacks but also those that facilitate better experiences. Here are a few.
Carry the Basics
Of course, your umbrella, rain jackets, and waterproof covers for your belongings go in your bag without saying. If you are heading to a destination that receives rainfall, keeping these basic essentials close is a given and extremely important.

The quieter and much more tranquil part of the Nilgiri hills, Coonoor is where the colonial charm of the hills and the natural wonders unravel for you to see and experience. The soothing climate amidst the lush green slopes and clean air make the town absolutely conducive to explore in every season. It glows and blooms differently every month, exhibiting beauty throughout the year. Here is a list of things to do on your vacation in these blue hills during these months of monsoon!

Visit the Sim’s Park
The botanical garden is one of the largest attractions of the town and the most beguiling in this season, when all the flowers and trees are beautified further. The park also houses a lake that adds to the overall charm of the surrounding.

How to create a Bohemian ambience in your house
How to create a Bohemian ambience in your house
While some people like to go for the standard interior styles, others don’t mind going a little out of the set parameters with slightly more unconventional and eclectic décor styles. If that is what you are aiming for, bohemian is the kind of ambience you need to cast in your living space. Now, bohemian is simply the fusion of different patterns, colours, and textures to create a laid-back yet inspiring mood. With our various luxury holiday homes across India, we are well adept with the impact of interior design and décor on the overall mood and character of a home. Reeling from our experience, here are a few tips to help you create that Bohemian ambience in your house.
Mix Textures and Colours This casual and peculiar style is all about throwing in different textures and colours together aesthetically. Natural and organic fabrics like jute, linen, and burlap are mixed with a hint of luxurious textures like silk and chenille. Earthy hues are combined with some jewels and bright hues like pink, red, and purple.
Warm Lights
Warm lights make for an imperative part of bohemian décor. They add to the whole relaxed vibe of the décor, also bringing in a lively atmosphere in the room. These lights readily accentuate the couch, an art piece, the dining area or the kitchen.
Rugged Touch
One feature of bohemian style that makes it so unique and pleasing is the rugged and unfinished appearance to its décor elements. An old, rustic, and incomplete touch to them is what strikes a typical boho look.
Low Seating
Low seating marked by colourful and textured covers and cushions is one of the most crucial qualities of this ambience. It adds to the whole laid-back and inviting vibe of the place, facilitating meaningful conversations and congeniality.
Indoor Plants
Bringing the outside indoors with lively pot plants is one of the easiest and refreshing ways to bring in a bohemian ambience in your abode. A variety of plants can help complement the boho décor and elements of the space, while also reeling in positivity.
Our properties in Nilgiris and Goa villas for rent and sale are also designed in ways that reflect that comfort and warmth, ensuring a great ambience and feelings of homeliness.

An ideal getaway is made of the right location, the right environment, the perfect accommodation, and of course, quality experience. These experiences, we believe, emerge from the charm of the destination, yes, but it also arises from the comfort and luxury it offers you.
Well-aware of these facts, when we design and build our luxury private villas across India we blend the luxury of our impeccable hospitality services with the overall aesthetic of our holiday homes
We believe these amenities and services complete the whole holiday experience, and make it grander than it is supposed to be. Our housekeeping is always present and on the toes to attend to every need of yours, from the basics and the necessities to all the nitty-gritties and requirement of yours. They keep the premises neat and organised, cook you wholesome meals, and arrange for the extras you may need for a pool party or just a good time in our villa. Whether it is to book you a car, an appointment with the masseuse or a yoga class. Anything that you need, all you have to do is ask.
At our luxury holiday homes, your day begins with a scrumptious spread of breakfast cooked by our expert in-house staff. And as your day kick-starts, the Guest Relationship Manager and the team at the Travel Desk extend their hand to you for every need that may arise.

Board games for a group or kids, other pool toys, and other items for you to engage with can easily be taken care of by them, as well. Safe to say, we strive to provide luxury in every sense. After all, it is the quality of the services and essence it is rendered with, that truly makes for great hospitality and hence, an incomparable experience.

Why is there a rise in the purchase of holiday homes?
Why is there a rise in the purchase of holiday homes?
With every passing year, the quality of life is taking giant leaps, and so are the stress levels. With these surges, the relentless need to take periodic breaks from the monotony is increasing, too. And when we talk about these breaks, we are referring to breaks that are physically reenergizing, as well as mentally stimulating. This is made possible with holiday homes at stellar locations. The rise in the purchase of holiday homes in the current times could be readily attributed to these factors - the need to escape the monotony every once in a while.
Lately, the purchasing of holiday homes has become extremely popular amongst the residents of the metro cities. Owning a holiday home at inspiring locations lends the luxury of seeking a getaway at any given time without any major extra expenses. Weekend breaks for couples and long weekend plans with friends become smoother and manageable with your own holiday home. Moreover, celebrations and private parties are held with a unique and more personal charm there, as they should be. Having your own luxury private villa at a rejuvenating destination is not only advantageous in this aspect but also in many other ways.
One intriguing advantage that comes with this is the extra source of income that it offers. It is a holiday home, which means it will most likely be used during the holidays. During the other months when it is not being occupied, it is conducive to give it up for rent. It not only means good use of the house but also serves as a good income source for you. To conclude, investing in a holiday home is beneficial for you and for your finances. It makes for a great leisure home you can resort to, whenever you need and make it a good source of income when it is not being used.
Our holiday homes in Coonoor, Goa, and Alibaug are all designed and built carefully with the luxurious aesthetics and amenities that make them ideal for all these purposes.

Albany Cottage's 5 treasures that you won't find at any other homestay Amidst the lush, verdant backdrop of Coonoor, sits Albany Cottage, a stunning home with plenty of colonial charm. Here, you will find magical treasures and luxurious promises that are hard to find anywhere else.
Majestic views of the Nilgiris. Acres and acres of deep foliage everywhere you look.
Albany Cottage
situated in Coonoor, is where you can find a little chunk of paradise. Spread across 780 sq metres, this home will take your breath away. Right from its four tastefully designed bedrooms to its sit-outs that let you enjoy your tea with a view, Albany Cottage is where good times begin. Here are 5 things that you will find at this luxurious nest which you won’t find at any other homestay.
1) Albany Cottage is furnished tastefully, using antique furniture and artefacts from palaces and mansions in India and abroad. So you might just be sitting on a piece of furniture that once belonged to royalty!
2) The floors of Albany Cottage are custom designed. What this means is that nearly every room boasts different kinds of floor tiles! So, while the living room offers stone-look tiles with charming gold stripes, the library will surprise you with its beautiful KP tiles in multiple hues.
3) Albany Cottage offers the best of both worlds by providing you with sweeping views of the Nilgiris, all inside a home steeped in colonial charm. It's actually an ode to a British aristocrat who once summered here!
4) Thoughtfully enough, the bedrooms of this property are fully equipped with soft, double mercerised sheets that will wrap you up in luxury even as you settle in for the night. And the satin pillow covers boast an impressive 300-thread count.
5) If you fancy taking in a game of golf, the famed Wellington Golf Course is a mere 5 minute drive away from Albany Cottage. Which other luxurious property sits in such a conveniently accessible spot? Pray, do tell.
Avant gard(e)ns Be it an enchanted garden or a smaller, more intimate one,
Isprava
tells you how you can bring your beautiful green spaces to life.
Gardens are wonderful places; sweet smelling flowers, gently swaying plants and an air of stillness. What's not to love? It is as though time stands still when you are spending it in a garden. And that is exactly why it becomes so important to spend some time and work a little towards making your garden space simply flawless. And here are four key landscaping design trends that will elevate any and every kind of garden space.
1) Plant a section for the kitchen An excellent idea is to have a plot specially crafted to grow vegetables and herbs to be used in your food. From fresh basil and parsley to little tomato patches, you can go ahead and plant your favourites.
2) Say yes to water features The tinkling sound of water in a garden is endearing, to say the least. It can also act as a meditative element. So, adding in a water feature to your garden space can truly bring it to life.
3) Include soft lighting Lighting up your garden the right way is an absolute must! You may host a garden party in the late evening, or perhaps, you may have an urge to eat outdoors once the sun sets. Hence, make sure to include soft lighting in your garden. This will not only make it look better but also make moving about in the dark easier.
4) Create a private space Use long plants that grow close together to build a wall or just go on and build an actual one that divides your garden into parts. You can use one section as a private entertainment area, a reading nook or simply a space devoted to exotic flowers and plants.

Snack on this In conversation with Meher and Matt Taff, founders of Natch snacks on the things that make them tick.
1) You moved from NYC to India to start a nutritious snack empire, tell us about this big shift and how you adapted?
Before we moved to India, snacking was an everyday ritual for us, and being in NYC we found ourselves very spoiled for choice. There was always some new health fad that people were obsessing over, sometimes tasty and sometimes not so much. For us, we always gravitated towards snacks that were both simple and delicious. We avoided things that were overly processed. No matter what you were into, there was always an abundance of options to meet your craving.
When we got to India, we were surprised by how few options we found for the type of yummy, guilt free snacks that we love. Most of the things we found were processed or full of chemicals. Both of us, entrepreneurs at heart, knew we wanted to start a company together, and healthy snacks felt like the perfect fit. From there, we laid out our criteria of what an ideal snack should be and began our search.
We wanted our products to be natural, minimally processed, vegan, gluten free, lactose free and 100% delicious. We also wanted to be true to our audience, so we tried to incorporate fun twists on traditional favourites like our chilli flavoured coconut chips or dried mango slices. We launched Natch to bring snacks that we personally love to munch on, keeping in mind the Indian palette and love of fresh, bold flavours.
2) Has travel ever inspired any of your nutritious snack offerings? If so, how?
The love for travel is shared by us both and has been a huge influence on us as well as for Natch. In fact, a lot of the products Natch offers were inspired by our travels, particularly to parts of America and Asia. A majority of our products come from Thailand, which is where a lot of the inspiration for Natch was firstborn. Very early in the process, Meher and I visited a snack exhibition in Bangkok and were blown away by the incredible variety and selection of snacks. It was on this trip that we first began to explore the type of products that we believed would be a great fit for India, while still maintaining our commitment to being good, and good for you.
Beyond just the products themselves, Natch aims to create a laid back, travel-friendly culture. All of our products are natural, with real, simple ingredients, offered in bright and accessible packaging. We know that people's lifestyles are evolving, so we have created snacks that can be enjoyed on-the-go. Everything is bite sized and packed fresh, perfect for road trips, hammocks, or waiting for the train. We love to explore new places and believe Natch is the perfect travel companion for any adventure.
3) What would we find in your Isprava kitchen? What is your prime indulgence?
In our Isprava kitchen, you would probably find lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, yummy snacks, and lots of things that go well with a cold beer or a cocktail. We are both snackaholics, and would each rather have 9 small meals in a day than 2-3 big ones. We love all types of appetizers, dips, and tapas type snacks, things you can munch on all day for a quick bite.
Neither one of us has much of a sweet tooth, so our prime indulgence is usually more of the savoury variety. Matt loves sharp cheeses, salted snacks, and prosciutto pizza, while Meher is a sucker for pate, a good cheesesteak, or just about anything doused in butter. While its true neither of us love sweets, we have yet to meet a piece of fried dough we do not like.
4) If you could carry only five things on your next escape, what would they be?
Firstly, our Natch snacks, of course ;). Not only do they serve as great munchies on a trip but also provide us with good images for our social media marketing. We would each have to bring a bathing suit because we love the warm sunshine so have most likely picked a place that is beachside. To accompany that would have to be our favourite pair of flip flops and sunglasses. Sadly, I must admit we would probably want to bring along our iPhone, allegedly for navigation and communication, but really just to browse the internet and look at Instagram. Our phone would also be key; helps in snapping a lot of great photos.
5) In a world where even snacks get categorised as luxe or premium, what does luxury mean to you?
We would categorise Natch as a premium snack company. We use only the finest natural ingredients in all of our carefully crafted products, resulting in an exceptional snack that is unparalleled in taste and quality. In this regard, premium is the perfect way to describe what we are going for.
"Luxury" on the other hand can be misleading. It denotes something you treat yourself to on a special occasion, and at a big expense. Natch products, however, are meant to be enjoyed all the time! Our natural, better-for-you products should not be considered as an occasional indulgence, but rather an everyday snack that you can eat guilt free.

Power of Indoor Plants
Power of Indoor Plants
All our lives we have been told that greens have a ton of benefits. In terms of design, plants are as important accessories in the space as any other home decor proves to be. Whether you place the plant pots in a corner, or hang them or display it on a wall shelf, they will help give you a green thumb and build your skills.
If the visual appeal of plants is not enough to convince you of their capabilities then we have listed the biggest reasons why you need to go buy numerous plants from your nearest nursery.
Low maintenance The first and most significant reason that you should get an indoor plant is that they do not require any gardening skills and hard work that goes behind nurturing it. Got a long weekend plan or going on a romantic weekend getaway but worried whether your plant will survive without your attention? Do not stress, all your plant needs is a source of indirect light and a drainage hole in its pot and you are good to go! Most indoor plants only need to be watered when the soil turns dry which is usually twice or less in a week.
Purifies your surroundings If you don’t breathe well, you’re not living well. Not only do indoor plants make your home more welcoming, it also makes the air a lot more cleaner. They remove the pollutants from the air by absorbing it through their leaves and roots. Also, more plants means more oxygen and let us just collectively agree that more oxygen is always appreciated.
Adds a pop of colour and life to your room Transforming your space doesn’t require any more effort than just adding a bit of colour with the help of indoor plants. Since plants are literally living creatures, they help to add some soul and personality to your room. The choice for the type of plants that you can put into your home is abundant. Additionally, it is known that they help boost mood, reduce fatigue and aid in creativity as well as productivity. Practicing what we preach, all of Isprava’s luxury villas in Goa and the Nilgiris flourish with indoor greenery.
Provide light and luxury to your space What better way to exhibit luxury than through an efficient and sustainable way? Replant your greens into a colourful pot to add style to greenery. It is commonly known that plants need sunlight to survive. Hence, placing a few plants in a home causes you to open the windows and let some light into your surroundings. This creates a tone of freshness and life in your space.
While indoor plants can make a difference in a multitude of ways, at our Isprava luxury villas we provide and maintain both, indoor plants as well as outdoor plants. And honestly, what is a holiday home without the cosy feeling provided through plants? To get you started, here are some common names of indoor plants that are pleasant and easy to grow- Spider plant, Anthurium, Snake plant, Bamboo, Jade and Money Plant.
