There’s something magical about the first rains—how the scent of wet earth fills the air, how hills turn a deeper shade of green, and how everything suddenly feels quieter, softer. It’s the perfect time to pause and escape. With Stay Ukiyo’s handpicked villas in Maharashtra and Goa, the monsoon isn’t just a season—it’s an experience. Think cozy mornings by the window with chai in hand, your pet curled up beside you, and endless views of misty valleys or rain-drenched beaches.

Maybe you’re tucked away in a hillside villa in Lonavala, watching clouds drift through the trees. Or maybe you’ve found a serene spot in Goa, where the sound of waves blends with the rhythm of falling rain. From heated pools to in-house chefs and pet-friendly spaces, these villas are designed for slow, soulful stays. And in the heart of the monsoon, when everything blooms and the world feels brand new—there’s truly no better time to go.
