An ideal all-season getaway at Changod near Ahmedabad, where you can genuinely disconnect from stress and reconnect with yourself while bonding with family & friends amidst nature’s lush greenery

In an era where many vacation destinations are advisable only during certain weather phases; with greenery often artificially incorporated along with the structures, and the amenities being copy pasted replicas of the last 5-10 places you had visited, here’s something original where you can have unique, immersive experiences the year round.

Yes, the Saachi Villagio Resort at Changod, Vijapur, near Ahmedabad, is a pioneering project, personally conceptualized by serial entrepreneur Anil Brahmbhatt, where you are transported into an entirely different universe, exclusively conceptualised by the greatest designer known to man – Mother Nature! While most resorts need to incorporate or transplant greenery, here it already exists in abundance.

The sheer size of Saachi Villagio lends itself to multiple opportunities; right from staying in a single unit for a day to custom creating your dream event by setting up temporary structures across the open spaces and simultaneously conducting a series of ceremonies, photo shoots and even an OTT series, the possibilities are manifold and endless.

A restricted number of 9 distinctive dwelling units (a choice of 4 thematic options, each having their own appeal and inherent benefits) with Wi-Fi, air conditioning, television, 24x7 heated water and modern plumbing facilities.

To assure guests of having a different lifestyle experience whenever they visit, Saachi Villagio has residential avenues designed in diverse styles that will be well worth exploring at least once to compare each variant with the other and then, returning to your favourite many more times.

Gain a different perspective on life standing atop the forest-style machaan with 360-degree, all-encompassing views of the great outdoors, where conducting celebratory get-togethers and partaking sumptuous meals at a treetop level elevates bonding to a totally higher level.

Swimming enclosures have been created for different age groups. Privacy and safety are ensured with separate entrances and clearly demarked spaces for guests and vendors/ service providers. CCTV cameras have been installed for security along the perimeter and common areas.

An in-house 25-plus seater restaurant offers a choice of healthy, home-cooked meals and beverages. If you just cannot wake up without that cup of coffee, relax, room service has that covered!

Where dawn is marked by the cooing sounds of countless koels as your morning alarm and over a hundred peacocks prancing on the grounds; approaching dusk heralded by the rhythmic galloping of tall, majestic Jodhpuri race horses of the illustrious Marwar breed – Bajirao, Mastani and Samsher - as they return to their enclosure.

Reclining on the porch, basking in the warmth of early morning rays, time pauses as you walk barefoot amidst over 170 luscious, fruit laden chickoo trees, inhaling crisp, clear, unpolluted air and soaking in the sunshine, accompanied by the melodious sounds of birds chirping.
