Lohono Stays Expands to Europe with Luxury Villas at Lake Garda, Italy

Indian luxury travellers get a new European escape

Lohono Stays by Isprava Group has announced its entry into the European market with a new collection of luxury villas at Lake Garda, Italy. Emerging as one of the country’s most captivating destinations, Lake Garda combines Alpine beauty with Italian elegance. Surrounded by clear waters, mountain landscapes, vineyards, and lakeside villages, the region offers travellers privacy, cultural depth, and an unhurried pace of life.

Each villa in the new collection offers distinct experiences, shaped by design, heritage, and location. Set against a lakeside backdrop, the villas feature private pools and gardens, stone gazebos, and saunas. Guests can also enjoy curated experiences, including yoga sessions, tennis, golf, private chef-led cooking lessons, guided treks, and boat tours with a personal skipper.

Commenting on the launch, Nibhrant Shah, Managing Director and Co-Chief Executive Officer, Isprava Group (Isprava, Lohono Stays, The Chapter), said, “Affluent Indian travellers are moving beyond the obvious Italian hotspots to explore destinations like Lake Garda, that feel more intimate and layered. They are seeking experiences that blend exclusivity, authenticity, and a deeper cultural resonance, rather than just sightseeing and standardised hotel luxury. Lohono is meeting this demand by curating villas that go beyond a stay to deliver immersive, world-class living in destinations Indians are only just beginning to embrace.”

Dhimaan Shah, Executive Director and Co-Chief Executive Officer, Isprava Group (Isprava, Lohono Stays, The Chapter), added, “Indian outbound travel is projected to cross eighty million journeys annually by 2030 and with Italy being one of the top five destinations for Schengen-bound Indian travel, the opportunity is immense. Lohono’s target audience expects us to offer something unconventional. Hence, entering the European market with Lake Garda is a strategic step towards extending a differentiated holiday experience to our customers in terms of stay as well as the location.”

Founded in 2019 by Dhimaan Shah and Nibhrant Shah, Lohono Stays has become a prominent luxury villa hospitality brand, curating design-led vacation experiences for discerning travellers. With a portfolio of over 280 villas across 12 domestic and five international destinations, Lohono Stays is known for offering refined, personalised travel experiences.

The brand’s portfolio includes some of India’s most sought-after destinations — Goa, Alibaug, Lonavala, Srinagar, Mussoorie, and Coonoor — as well as popular international locations such as the Maldives, Phuket, Bali, and Koh Samui. Lake Garda in Italy now marks Lohono’s expansion into Europe.

The name Lohono derives from the Hawaiian word lono, which symbolises relaxation, music, and peace, values that define each stay.
