Diwali is just around the corner and everyone’s busy making a list of gifts for their family and friends. While dry fruits, electronics, sweets and shagun are the go-to Diwali gifts, this year is not like any other year. We have spent most of 2020 indoors, within the four walls of our homes. In the last few months, work-from-home swiftly translated to living at work. With extended work hours, online classes for kids and so many household chores at hand, spending quality time with the family took a backseat.
So, this year, Tripoto urges you to ditch the cliched gifts and give your family what they need the most – a gift of quality time away from routine. Surprise your loved ones with a memorable present as you take them away from the confined spaces of home, to a safe and gorgeous ‘home’ of your choice for a special ‘Villa Wali Diwali.’
What’s a Villa Wali Diwali?
Bring in the festivities in sprawling lawns, while playing cards or antakshari under a starlit sky or have a quiet family dinner in a gazebo while enjoying fresh-off-the-barbeque dishes. Imagine a unique Diwali celebration with the kids finally running free in open spaces as you enjoy the warmth of the winter sun or cosy up around the bonfire in the evenings, away from the pollution and worries of life in the city.
As you step out for the first time in months for a memorable Diwali, Tripoto’s sanitised properties make sure nothing gets in the way. This handpicked selection of exquisite villas follow strict hygiene standards and protocols to make your and your family’s safety a priority at all times.
