Istana Santai

Istana Santai is a private collection of 53 ultra-luxury designer villas crafted at the intersection of architecture and nature. Set against the backdrop of Nashik’s tranquil vineyards and shimmering backwaters, the project is designed with a Balinese philosophy of "Santai" (relaxed), featuring gently sloping roofs, open courtyards, and teakwood detailing. Villas range from intimate 2-bedroom hideaways to expansive 6-bedroom signature residences, each delivered fully furnished with authentic Balinese artifacts and tropical landscaping. Features & Amenities The estate is centered around the "Seraya Clubhouse," a sanctuary for wellness and indulgence. Signature amenities include a dedicated wine deck and wine cellar—a tribute to Nashik’s viticulture—a multi-cuisine restaurant, and a Zen garden. Residents have access to private pools, a yoga and movement studio, and curated nature trails. The property is fully managed, offering owners a hassle-free experience with maintenance, housekeeping, and security handled on-site.
