Solis Nature Lists 30,000 Handpicked Nature Stays, Up 119% a Quarter

Solis Nature, a nature-stay booking platform, reports 119% average quarterly revenue growth and 66% booking growth, per its answers to TravHQ.

Solis Nature, a travel platform for nature-centric and unusual stays, says it offers access to more than 3 million properties in over 150 countries, including about 30,000 handpicked nature stays. The company reports average quarter-on-quarter revenue growth of roughly 119% and booking growth of 66%. The project is led by Haris Javeed, Deputy General Manager, with Dr. Deepak Mittal as founder.

The figures come from written answers Shruti Sharma, Assistant Manager at Solis Nature, sent to TravHQ’s five startup questions. This profile also draws on the company’s own website.

How it started

The idea took shape in 2024 and the website went live in February 2025. The brief was a platform where the stay is part of the trip rather than a place to sleep. Sharma wrote that accommodation should be “an integral part of the travel experience.”

Two groups are served: travellers who care about the character of where they sleep, and owners of distinctive properties. For travellers, the aim is to make unusual stays easier to find. For independent and unique properties, it adds a digital channel to a wider audience.

Solis Nature sits inside the Sonalika and Solis Group ecosystem. Its founder, Dr. Deepak Mittal, is also Managing Director of International Tractors Limited (ITL) and provides leadership and vision. The company describes ITL as operating in more than 150 countries, with 1.7 million customers worldwide and revenue of $1.1 billion, citing Fortune India 500, 2024.

Haris Javeed leads the project. He has 15 to 16 years in travel technology and previously worked with Airbnb, Vrbo and Expedia. Past employers across the wider team include The Square, OYO, TravClan, TBO, Welcome Heritage and Radisson Blu. Solis Nature puts the team’s combined executive experience at more than six decades, across hospitality, travel technology and business development.

What the handpicked nature stays look like

The portfolio covers luxury resorts and five-star hotels, private villas, boutique stays and homestays, plus glamping domes and treehouses. The handpicked 30,000 span mountains, beaches, forests, lakes and countryside, drawn from an inventory of more than 50 stay types.

The homepage describes handpicked nature stays including hotels, resorts and villas. It lists country collections for the Netherlands, Italy, Spain and Switzerland, each marked New. It also promises a best price guarantee and a dedicated travel consultant reachable by call or WhatsApp. Contact numbers are listed for both India and the Netherlands.

Solis Nature runs two booking routes. The direct site offers instant reservations. A separate query-based site lets travellers share their requirements and receive tailored recommendations. The company says guests see a clear price with no unexpected additional charges.

On how it differs from the large booking platforms, Sharma pointed to pairing a “wide global inventory” with curation and personal travel assistance.

The business

The company describes its growth as encouraging. Revenue has grown an average of about 119% quarter on quarter and booking volume by 66%. TravHQ has not seen the underlying revenue or booking totals, so the percentages carry no base figure.

Property partners are charged on commission, with no listing fees. For an independent villa or a small resort, that means no cost until a booking arrives. The platform also serves travel agents and corporate clients, which widens demand beyond individual leisure travellers.

The pairing of a very large inventory with a small curated layer is the structural choice. The 3 million properties give breadth, while the 30,000 nature stays are the part Solis Nature positions as its own. Personal assistance by phone and WhatsApp sits on top, a service large platforms tend to route through help desks.

The next twelve months

The immediate focus is the global property portfolio, a larger collection of nature-centric stays and a smoother booking experience. The company also plans to make personalised discovery more accessible through its two booking models.

Next on the list is closer work with independent owners, travel agents and corporate buyers, alongside continued spending on technology that changes how travellers find and book accommodation. The stated long-term aim is to become a recognised global platform for handpicked nature stays, combining a travel-tech platform with the personal touch of thoughtful trip planning.

Key takeaway

Solis Nature shows that a niche can be built on top of a commodity inventory: license the breadth, then earn loyalty with a curated slice and a human on WhatsApp. We would watch whether the growth percentages hold as the base grows, and whether the two booking models convert at similar rates. Independent hotels and villa owners weighing an extra channel should compare commission against listing-fee platforms, and ask which guests the curation actually brings.
