Indian Hotels Company (IHCL) has officially announced the opening of Vivanta Thane on LBS Road, marking a significant debut for the brand in one of the most dynamic urban pockets of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR).
Set against the scenic Yeoor Hills, this new 97-key hotel offers a refreshing blend of nature and modern luxury, catering to both business and leisure travellers. Strategically located with excellent access to major business corridors and transport routes, Vivanta Thane brings a fresh perspective to the city’s hospitality landscape.
Deepika Rao, Executive Vice President – New Businesses & Hotel Openings, IHCL, said,
“The opening of Vivanta Thane reflects IHCL’s strategy of expanding into key urban centres. Thane, as an immediate neighbour to Mumbai, has evolved into a major satellite city within the Mumbai Metropolitan Region.”
Guests at Vivanta Thane can indulge in diverse culinary experiences. Mynt, the hotel’s all-day diner, offers panoramic views of the hills, while Zira, a specialty vegetarian restaurant, celebrates flavour-rich plates. For spirited evenings, Wink, the brand’s signature bar, serves expertly crafted cocktails in a lively setting. Adding a sweet touch, Swirl, a chic patisserie at the lobby level, presents colourful desserts in a playful atmosphere.
The hotel also boasts a state-of-the-art fitness centre and an infinity pool that overlooks the hills and city skyline, offering guests moments of calm and luxury. Business travellers and event planners can benefit from the hotel’s modern banqueting and meeting venues, tailored for seamless gatherings and upscale functions.

In a major step toward redefining eco-conscious living in India’s favourite holiday state, ELIVAAS, a leading curator of premium vacation experiences, has joined hands with luxury villa developer Aranayam to launch Amayah—Goa’s first sustainable luxury villa community. Located in the lush neighbourhood of Assagao, Amayah blends the charm of Indo-Portuguese architecture with cutting-edge green technologies and timeless comforts.
Spread across 25,700 sq. ft., Amayah consists of nine meticulously crafted villas, including eight 3 BHKs and one 4 BHK, each thoughtfully designed with handcrafted teakwood finishes, natural lime plaster walls, and elegant balconies. These elements not only exude old-world charm but also ensure energy efficiency and climate adaptability.
At the heart of the project lies a commitment to sustainability. Amayah is one of the first villa communities in Goa to be GRIHA-certified—a prestigious green rating that ensures environmentally responsible construction and operations. The project is designed around sustainable development practices such as rainwater harvesting, solar energy systems, efficient water treatment and reuse, and eco-friendly materials.
But Amayah doesn’t just stop at responsible construction—it elevates the concept of luxury living. Each villa comes with private swimming pools, spa and sauna rooms, open-to-sky showers, private landscaped gardens, and state-of-the-art kitchens fitted with premium appliances. A mix of Portuguese tiles, terrazzo flooring, and authentic local craftsmanship create a serene, rooted aesthetic that mirrors Goa’s relaxed yet sophisticated lifestyle.
“At ELIVAAS, we’ve always believed that luxury doesn’t have to come at the cost of the planet,” says Ritwik Khare, Founder and CEO of ELIVAAS. “With Amayah, we’re creating a product that is beautiful, culturally grounded, and environmentally future-ready. We’re not just building villas; we’re curating soulful living experiences.”
Aranayam, known for its commitment to thoughtful architecture and context-aware design, brings its deep understanding of local building styles and sustainability to this project. Varun Maheshwari, Founder of Aranayam, shares, “We believe that our homes should reflect harmony with their surroundings. Amayah is designed to be timeless—rooted in Goan heritage, but forward-thinking in function and sustainability. This collaboration with ELIVAAS has allowed us to create something truly special.”
Amayah's location in Assagao, one of Goa’s most sought-after residential areas, adds to its charm. Known for its greenery, peaceful vibe, and proximity to beaches like Vagator and Anjuna, Assagao is rapidly becoming the preferred address for those seeking both serenity and sophistication.
In an era where real estate is often viewed through the lens of returns and convenience, Amayah is a refreshing example of “luxury with purpose.” The project stands as a benchmark for regenerative tourism and sustainable living in Goa, setting a precedent for future developments in the region.
Whether as a private residence, vacation home, or investment, Amayah by ELIVAAS and Aranayam offers a chance to own a piece of Goa that not only promises elegance but also leaves a lighter footprint on the planet.
