If you have been looking for vacation rentals with family or friends, you could check out the villas and resorts launched by Zuper Hotel Solutions, a fast-growing hotel sales, marketing and management solutions company. They have marked their foray into the premium vacation rental space with the launch of ZuperStays, a five-star vacation rental platform.
The new venture has been floated in partnership with Mumbai-based Suved Lohia Hospitality, a company promoted by noted entrepreneur, Suved Lohia.
Speaking about the development, Akaal Manchanda, Founder, and Director, Zuper Stays said, &ldquoWe are entering this segment due to public demand. Our guest network wants to experience our flexible, personalized, and exclusive hospitality in a vacation rental format. While there are vacation rental properties available, our research showed that the need for a proper luxury experience remains mostly unmet. Since we have been working in the luxury vacation space for the past five years, we are better placed to understand and cater to the preferences of long-stay luxury holiday seekers. Hence, we felt that with Zuper Stays, we could create an authentic luxury vacation and hassle-free rental experience for people. The pre-seed funding is the first step towards achieving this goal&rdquo.
According to Suved Lohia, of Suved Lohia Hospitality, &ldquoWe are always on the lookout for businesses in the hospitality segment that are led by passionate and skilled entrepreneurs. The hospitality industry is about not just doing your job but going beyond it. It is about offering adventures that fill one&rsquos soul. In Zuper Stays, we found an incredibly talented and capable team with a robust business plan that meets these requirements.&rdquo
Debuting with an initial inventory of 12 uber-luxury properties comprising farms, estates, and villas, Zuper Stays aims to carve a niche of its own, in the premium vacation rental market. Its properties will be exclusive - all the properties will be marketed, manned, and managed by the company&rsquos own team.
The new venture has raised an initial seed capital and will begin its operations in Maharashtra with a limited inventory of properties on a pilot basis. It plans to add 50 villas more to its inventory within the next six months and will expand its footprint to other parts of the country by 2022.
