"Such a rustic feeling to sit under this gorgeous Honge tree. That was the best chai, pakoda and sunset combo I have experienced. ” – she said to the caretaker at a farm which was giving guests a taste of the farmlife in their own special way.
The formula is simple. People travel for two reasons –
1) To experience something different
2) To experience things which they cannot make time for in their daily lives
If you can make your guests feel that they have fulfilled either of these objectives by staying at your property, you have cracked the code.
How can this be done? - In multiple ways, and we will address all of them individually in our upcoming blog posts. In this post, we would like to talk about the importance of turning spaces into experiences for your guests.
Corners and nooks- why are they so important? because it allows people to either come together or detach themselves completely. Curating spaces really help the guests immerse themselves in the surroundings. These can be centered around simple things in the property.
For example: If you have a massive tree, Make it the hero - you can turn it into
1. A picnic spot by day and a romantic dinner setting by night
2. A tree-top deck with a reading corner
3. Build a rustic machan
4. Add a long swing
5. Make it into a unique rain tree
6. Build a secret tree house
7. Or just another insta worthy location
Each of them can imbibe a touch of uniqueness which aligns to the theme of your place or promotes a piece of nature, the local culture, people or art.
An important factor to keep in mind is, these corners should be curated to stimulate an emotion, ambience, mood or frame of mind for your guests. So, ensure there is a clear vision of what you would like your guests to feel there.
But the question remains: How does this add value to your business? There are both qualitative and quantitative benefits to going this extra mile for your guests.
To market the resort to the right guest demographic and stand out amongst competition
Increase social media traffic with these
Insta-worthy spots to garner more bookings through word of mouth and online reviews.

Lastly, upscaling your resort and benchmarking with similar properties to increase room rentals.
Times are changing and so should you. Being outdoor is in and everyone wants a little slice of nature. We’d be happy to audit your property with a fresh outlook to ensure your next guest cannot stop talking about the out of the world experience he had at your property.
