Fragrant Sun

Perched on a hillside overlooking the shimmering Mulshi Lake, Fragrant Sun is more than a homestay! It’s the culmination of a dream, shaped by love, sustainability, and a deep connection to nature.

Kavita and Sanjeev Berry, the passionate duo behind this eco-friendly sanctuary, transformed a barren landscape into a lush, fruitful haven that nurtures both the land and the soul. Nearly 15 years ago, they stumbled upon this spot during a trek, instantly envisioning it as a place for growing vegetables and bringing people closer to nature. Built over 16 months using mud, bricks, and wood, Fragrant Sun has a timeless charm that merges Kavita’s interior design touch with Sanjeev’s hospitality know-how. Every corner of the property has a story - the dining area wraps around a majestic tree, the breakfast table overlooks the lake and sewing machine tables from Kavita’s father’s cloth factory bring a rustic touch to the spaces.

Days at Fragrant Sun unfold in a rhythm all their own. Start with a delightful breakfast of dal pakwaan and chole bhature at the outdoor community table, then perhaps indulge in tacos or refreshing salads on the verandah for lunch. Dinner is an event under the stars, complete with wood-fired pizzas and pani puri by the bonfire – a true feast for the senses that leaves you eagerly anticipate each meal.

But it’s the landscape, revived from its former barren state, that truly captivates. Kavita and Sanjeev have spent years cultivating the property, transforming it into a lush orchard filled with fruit trees and thriving vegetable patches.

Whether you’re looking for a romantic escape or a peaceful retreat, Fragrant Sun offers a rare mix of warmth, charm, and eco-conscious living that feels as nurturing as it is restorative. Here, the evenings are candlelit, the meals are lovingly prepared, and each experience brings you closer to nature’s embrace.
