Vinay Jain
Founder & Visionary
The Glen Woods Resort was born from the dreams of Vinay Jain, an avid international traveler whose journeys across the globe sparked a profound realization: luxury and sustainability aren't just compatible, they're essential to each other.
After years of exploring diverse cultures and witnessing both the beauty and fragility of our natural world, Vinay envisioned a different kind of hospitality. One that would honor the earth while creating extraordinary experiences for guests. This vision took root in the serene hills of Pavana, where he has spent years developing every aspect of what would become The Glen Woods Resort.
What you see today, from the bamboo plantations swaying in the breeze to the hidden bird watching spots, from our thriving composting systems to the 13-acre organic farm, all emerged from Vinay's passion for sustainable innovation and his deep love for nature.
Our Philosophy
Every innovation at The Glen Woods tells the story of thoughtful hospitality. We believe that true luxury lies not in excess, but in harmony with nature, with community, and with our guests' authentic needs.
This philosophy guides everything from our unique Traveler's Eco-Nests, designed for the modern nomad who seeks extended stays in nature, to our commitment to radical transparency in everything we do.
What Makes Us Different
Sustainable Living Innovation
Our bamboo plantations, advanced composting systems, and thriving organic farm aren't just environmental initiatives, they're integral to the guest experience. You'll taste the difference in every farm-fresh meal and feel the harmony in every naturally-cooled breeze.
Accommodations for Every Journey
From luxury river-edge retreats to our innovative Traveler's Eco-Nests, designed for long-stay guests who want to live sustainably while exploring the region for weeks or months, each accommodation type reflects Vinay's understanding of diverse travel needs.
Farm-to-Table Excellence
Our 13-acre organic farm doesn't just supply ingredients, it connects guests to their food's journey. From morning walks through the vegetable gardens to understanding the complete cycle from seed to plate.
Nature Immersion
The thoughtfully positioned bird hides, nature trails, and activity centers create opportunities for genuine connection with the Pavana region's rich biodiversity - all designed to enhance rather than disturb the natural ecosystem.
Celebrations in Nature
Our event spaces reflect the same philosophy - creating memorable celebrations that honor both the occasion and the environment, whether it's an intimate gathering or a grand celebration.
Our Promise
Every detail at The Glen Woods has been crafted with intention, born from Vinay's years of thoughtful development and his unwavering commitment to proving that sustainable luxury isn't just possible - it's transformative.
When you stay with us, you become part of this continuing story of innovation, sustainability, and genuine hospitality.
