Machan Resorts Expands Legacy on World Heritage Day by Committing to the Restoration of Heritage Properties, Blending Tradition with Responsible Luxury

Published on April 18, 2025

On the occasion of World Heritage Day, Machan Resorts LLP, a trailblazing hospitality group known for over 30 years of excellence, has revealed an ambitious new vision for the future. The group, renowned for its commitment to sustainable tourism and responsible hospitality, is embarking on an expansion project aimed at acquiring and restoring heritage properties across India.

At the heart of this initiative lies Machan Resorts’ deep respect for India’s cultural and architectural legacy. The group intends to breathe new life into forgotten historical structures, ensuring their preservation while integrating modern luxury elements to create unique, immersive experiences. This thoughtful approach promises to not only protect India’s rich heritage but also provide travelers with a chance to explore these treasures in a meaningful and responsible manner.

“Our goal is to create one-of-a-kind destinations where the elegance of history harmoniously coexists with the comforts of modern living,” said Rakshit Sharma, COO at Machan Resorts LLP during the announcement. “This strategic expansion was inspired by the successful integration of Legacy Mandawa by The Machan into our portfolio. Drawing from the royal legacy of Rajasthan, the property incorporates design elements from Mandawa’s iconic havelis and frescoes, offering guests an unparalleled heritage experience blended with modern luxury. In light of the success of this project, we are also considering other culturally significant areas in India along with Rajasthan, such as Gujarat, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh, for similar endeavors. Each new property will be meticulously managed to preserve its unique character, while uplifting local communities, promoting indigenous art forms, and supporting India’s vibrant heritage.”

This vision represents a significant evolution for Machan Resorts as it steps into a new role—becoming a true steward of India’s living history. By transforming heritage sites into sustainable luxury escapes, Machan Resorts aims to offer culturally curious travelers an opportunity to connect with India’s storytelling traditions, craftsmanship, and timeless beauty, all while fostering respect for the environment and local communities.
