"Being a trusted mentor to my team and achieving success together is incredibly rewarding and fulfilling”

Jagdeep Nambiar, General Manager, Fazlani Nature’s Nest

What is the USP of your property?

Fazlani Nature's Nest is a truly exceptional luxury retreat that stands out for both its stunning natural setting and its unparalleled focus on holistic wellness. The property's breath taking location amidst open spaces, greenery, waterfront, and mountains creates a cinematic natural canvas that is truly aweinspiring. We offers guests a unique and personalized wellness experience with organic farm on-site, providing access to the freshest and healthiest produce for personalized wellness meals.

What green initiatives the hotel has taken?

Focusing on sustainability, we use 40 out of 68 acres of land for organic farming, and the produce is served in our restaurants to ensure the freshest and healthiest dining experience. Additionally, all organic waste generated on the farm and gardens is composted and used as fertilizer, demonstrating our commitment to reducing waste and promoting eco-friendly practices.

What about the sustainable processes in your property?

In addition to providing education and boarding to 150 orphan children through the Fazlani International School, which is CBSE affiliated and has a track record of students earning seats in medical colleges based on merit, we also prioritize eco-friendly practices. For instance, we have recently installed two large water storage tanks on our campus with a combined capacity of one lakh litres to collect rainwater during the monsoon season, demonstrating our commitment to sustainable water management through rainwater harvesting.
