WHY DO WE CALL IT THE
STOLEN HEAVEN?

Not so long ago,
something was taken away from us...

The treasure, the wealth, the heaven
that made us, more us.

Something that made us more in tune
with who we really are.

More in tune with others around us.
More in tune with where we come from.

Get ready to discover that treasure
and unveil the stolen heaven.

 

THE VISION BEHIND VIKAS ESTATE

Embrace a lifestyle where nature meets historical charm, seamlessly woven with contemporary luxury. At Vikas Estate, our vision transcends land – it's a commitment to a sanctuary that honors the past, celebrates the present, and shapes an extraordinary future.

WHY IS THE LOCATION SO SPECIAL?

Stolen Heaven is situated amidst the 80 acre Vikas Estate in Karla, Lonavala. Karla's rich heritage echoes with the brushstrokes of Raja Ravi Varma, the tranquility of Lord Buddha's teachings, and the indomitable spirit of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Our retreat is a canvas painted with the hues of these historical icons, transforming Vikas Estate into a sanctuary that encapsulates the essence of heaven 'stolen' from time.

OUR COMMITMENT TO
THE ENVIRONMENT

ORGANIC FOOD

We are committed to serve you guilt-free food in our organic kitchen with a farm-to-fork culinary experience in it's truest sense. Every meal at Stolen Heaven is a celebration of local, seasonal produce, minimizing our carbon footprint and supporting local farmers.

CARBON NEGATIVE FOOTPRINT

We have already managed to achieve a carbon-negative footprint with our estate being powered by Solar and our trees replenishing more carbon dioxide than what we produce.

WATER REPLENISHMENT

Our commitment to sustainability flows through every drop. Water conservation practices ensure that nature's bounty is respected, and our water wastage is kept in check and to a minimum.

PLASTIC FREE EFFORT

For any hotel it's not easy to completely get rid of plastic use. However, we have managed to reduce 80% of the plastic usage across our property and aim at achieving 100% soon. We urge the guests to join in on this effort and keep the environment safe from plastic use.

LOCAL COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT

Stolen Heaven is not just a retreat; it's a commitment to local community growth. By prioritizing local employment, we aim to uplift the community and share the benefits of our sanctuary with those who call Karla home.

AIR QUALITY

We will always ensure you breathe in the crisp, clean air of Karla. We are dedicated to planting more trees every year and maintaining high air quality standards.
