The outdoors is equally inviting, with lush courtyards and pathways weaving through the existing flora. Guests can explore the permaculture-inspired farm that surrounds the property, unwind under a natural canopy, or enjoy the peace of this secluded forest retreat.
Featured by Elle Decor, Times Now, Rethinking The Future, The Architects Dairy, World Architecture, SaffronStays Maativan is a testament to the power of traditional Indian construction techniques and the use of locally sourced materials like mud, stone, and bamboo. The organic design, open courtyards, and vibrant interiors immerse guests in nature, while cozy bedrooms overlook the forest. Open-air bathrooms and earthy communal spaces complete the rustic charm, offering an experience that’s raw, real, and rooted in sustainability. The 4th room at Maativan is an open-concept space, which means it doesn’t have an air conditioner due to its unique layout. However, we understand the importance of comfort, and to ensure a pleasant stay, we provide coolers as a backup to keep the room cool and comfortable.
This isn’t a typical luxury villa—it’s a conceptually architectured adventurous staycation experience of reconnecting with the planet. Kids can explore the farm, play in the dirt, and learn about sustainable living, while nature enthusiasts who appreciate minimalism and authenticity will find thrill in its simplicity.
Designed with eco-consciousness at its core, the villa’s passive cooling systems and water recycling methods ensure a comfortable and guilt-free stay. Kitchen and bath water are redirected to nourish the gardens while composting pits contribute to the flourishing herb and vegetable patches on-site.

It’s nature-driven with plenty of open space, making it an ideal place for older kids to explore and enjoy the outdoors!
Three rooms are equipped with air conditioning, while the fourth room has a cooler. These accommodations are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

Backstory
Maativan was born from a dream—a dream of 2 architects Shriya Parasrampuria and Prashant Dupare of creating a sanctuary where the rush of life could be paused, and the soul could breathe. Nestled in the tranquil landscapes of Wada, this home was designed with one purpose in mind: to reconnect people with the earth and its timeless beauty.

The owners, a lover of nature and sustainable architecture, wanted to build a place where both comfort and the environment could coexist harmoniously. Drawing inspiration from the rustic charm of brick and the surrounding wilderness, the decision was made to use bricks in the home’s architecture—not only as a symbol of strength and endurance but also as a reflection of the earth's landscape that envelops it.

Maativan was carefully crafted to ensure every moment spent within its walls is a chance to experience nature at its best. The outdoor games and cozy indoor retreats reflect the home’s spirit of togetherness, making it the perfect escape for friends and family alike.

It’s more than just a house, is an architect's masterpiece—a space where nature and sustainable design are intertwined, where memories are made, and where the essence of simplicity can truly be felt. Whether you're watching the sun dip behind the trees, enjoying a game with loved ones, or simply breathing in the fresh air, Maativan is here to remind you that the best things in life are simple, natural, and waiting to be embraced.
