Ekaa Villa 

A boutique Agra getaway

Ekaa Villa is a boutique hotel inspired by the city’s ancient heritage and architecture, set in the heart of Agra.

There's been a lot of thought behind the design of Ekaa resulting in a modern interpretation of the classic Mughal architecture of Agra. For instance, each of the 12 rooms has its own characters and a clean minimalist feel, with feature elements of the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort such as inlay patterns. This is also present in everything from Ekaa’s onsite boutique to its traditional breakfasts. Ekaa Villa is the brain-child of co-founder Udit, who also runs bespoke tours of the city. As such, staff can organise personalised tours that take you to secret spots in Agra, introduce you to local artisans and allow you to sample the city’s best street food.
