Savista Retreat is a passion project of the Rishyasringa family, a family of royal lineage with strong spiritual and intellectual underpinnings, whose origins run deep into an ancient time. The present descendants of this lineage who own Savista are in residence at this estate, and are actively involved in the setting up and upkeep of this boutique property. They are an academic couple with global educational and work experience, and an impressive output in their subject specialties relating to the environmental, developmental and cross cultural dimensions of India’s history and growth in the evolving world context. Their places of study and work have included: Jaipur, Mumbai, New Delhi and Ahmedabad in India; Sussex and London in the U.K.; Geneva and Stockholm in Europe; and Boston and Washington DC in the U.S. Their intellectual kit and value-based approach to hospitality has shaped Savista Retreat’s dominant characteristics of eco-responsibility, community integration, experiential travel and wellness.
