About Hestia Villas

Hestia Villas is focused on creating considered homes rooted in their natural context. Each residence is shaped by an emphasis on sustainability, material honesty, and long-term durability, with a preference for locally sourced materials and climate-appropriate construction. The result is architecture that feels enduring, restrained, and naturally integrated, designed for those who value quality, privacy, and timeless living.

Our Vision

Our vision is to redefine luxury living around the world by creating thoughtfully designed villas and interiors that seamlessly blend architecture, technology, sustainability, and refined aesthetics. Through Hestia Villas and Hestia Smart Interiors, we aim to deliver homes that are not only visually compelling, but also intelligent, durable, and deeply connected to their natural context.

We believe that true luxury lies in clarity of design, quality of materials, and precision of execution. By combining international design sensibilities, AI-enabled planning, and on-ground execution expertise, our vision is to set a new benchmark for premium villas and interior design in destinations like Alibag and beyond.

At every stage, we are guided by a long-term perspective—creating homes and interiors that age gracefully, perform effortlessly, and enrich everyday living, while maintaining a quiet, timeless elegance that resonates with discerning homeowners.
