Our legacy · since 1990

The heart of MTV

Hospitality here is not a service transaction. It is a village of it — thirty-six years of the same family greeting the same road.

The genesis

A visionary’s dream realised

Every legendary destination starts with a spark. For MTV, that spark was our founder, Shree Mansukhlal Premjibhai Popat — Kakubhai.

A commerce graduate, businessman and traveller, Kakubhai was not content with ordinary success. In 1990 he set his eyes on a barren piece of land on Kalawad Road with an ambitious brief: a haven merging international hospitality with authentic Kathiyawadi warmth.

Built from the ground up with traditional village craftsmen and the dedication of his sons — Hitesh, Yogesh and Dharmesh — Motel The Village was born.

Our core philosophy

“Atithi Devo Bhava”

Guest is God. Three commitments, written into our institutional policy rather than a wall poster.

01

Respect & warmth

Every guest is welcomed with respect and treated with thoughtful responsiveness.

02

Human connection

From your first greeting to your final farewell, we strive to make you feel valued, comfortable, and deeply connected.

03

Timely compassion

We believe in a culture of accountability where every request is answered with sincere effort and care.

A rare ethnic expression

Set on the lush outskirts of Rajkot, MTV is an oasis of calm away from the city’s hustle — traditional village aesthetics blended with modern, urban luxury.

The heritage vibe. Landscaped mini-gardens, the illuminated Cave Waterfall, and the Lord Shiva and Hanuman temples.

Modern comforts. Fully-equipped AC cottages, 10+ global cuisines, and the Shaurya Adventure Sports Club.

The green promise

Beyond taking care of our guests, we take care of our land — 100% compostable and biodegradable garbage bags, and sustainable food packaging across the resort.
