But her newest canvas is not a lehenga or a gown, it\u2019s a villa. Nestled in the lush serenity of Sangolda, Goa, Villa Selene is a living, breathing extension of her design philosophy.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">Here, fashion steps off the runway and into space. Named after her couture collection \u2018Selene\u2019 meaning moon white, the villa reflects a sensibility rooted in detail, emotion, and elegance. Think arched doorways, tall French windows, statement lighting, and intimate corners made for quiet luxury. Every room tells a story: of heritage, craft, and personal memories curated through textures, colours, and objects that hold meaning.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">\u201cEven before COVID, I knew I wanted to create a peaceful escape from the chaos of city life,&#8221; Dolly says. \u201cWe envisioned it as a Dolly J Home, something timeless and layered, with details that make you pause.&#8221; Set away from the noise yet close to Goa\u2019s beaches and vibrant local life, the villa blends European romanticism with contemporary Indian flair in a way that feels both indulgent and grounded.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">Surrounded by tropical foliage and birdsong, Villa Selene feels like stepping into a design journal brought to life. Plush bedrooms in warm hues, handpicked artwork, quiet sit-outs, and a private pool framed by palms offer the ideal backdrop for everything from creative retreats to soul-soothing holidays.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">In partnership with StayVista, Villa Selene offers not just aesthetics, but a thoughtfully serviced experience. From chef-curated in-villa meals to daily housekeeping and bespoke add-ons, the team ensures that every guest can fully surrender to slow living.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">But beyond the architecture, it\u2019s the emotional quality of the space that lingers. Mornings spent sipping coffee by the courtyard. Long lunches with family in sun-drenched dining areas. Evenings filled with wine, music, and soft lighting. It\u2019s not just a place to stay\u2014it\u2019s a space to feel.<\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\">\u201cAt the heart of it, this is a creative space\u2014not a commercial one,&#8221; Dolly shares. \u201cI see it more as a showcase for Dolly J Homes, a way of sharing my design sensibilities beyond the world of fashion.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\">Available exclusively through StayVista, Villa Selene is more than a getaway\u2014it\u2019s a couture retreat for the soul.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"authorimg\" src=\"data:image\/jpeg;base64,UklGRgIDAABXRUJQVlA4IPYCAAAwJQCdASosAcgAPmEwlkekIyIhJDcIkIAMCWlu4XVRG2jfiezIohx5359wXuC9wXuC9wXuC9wXuC9wXuC9wXuC9wXuC9wXuC9wXuCq2ceFaLiV1H\/8x9KwXf\/OJLzd1lEVyRpIJzRpHhHXSnGBod9IfYFu9Ruvr0h55Rv1jwdfEvYf5d4GaFyCsqZGWdaid2H9uJlL8XfDpo4g+wC3ExOPLYgOdJ4t1Mblm4ysYoXF3UiI\/9o2hGBY87tiBEHfdTovs\/BCUUX7JmRRDV8ns9emZLbbgGLReXrq58pYe3e+cWwEE6VkgKz9XtXMNjKSc5T3w+yapJRHVhcUQ47hE3tkyf2QSiF+YwKTtepaied+fcF7gvcF7gvcF7gvcF7gvcF7gvcF7gvcF7gvcF7gvcF7fgAA\/v9y6AAAtG7FCnlC644LTxONH+0DNmaexB4oaAsZzGu\/EonTQ3s6CyPU09LPMFvfmIHni8v9IjHEBaNnLXPrqmWQ5bnizZgGM6Dqz0t2UEqzewqsz5Yq8Xksvl8hLAAcYVn\/kYLMj0KB\/KSMB3q6y8CZTcEz4OrUgbMbd8Zb1kQlSEVdGHtMMFj69samn9sIUV8x7MXPx5K4u\/jZ603Gm8N6Qwhe4FxNhjInXZO8aRl7T3dnNp6b8nkjX3MoF\/PqV+wnu14N6gCHHg58HAlI8rwKTacUs0dxcaYP5oVoCMa+Wg13ibQGDE9IW16Mp9V+3SBCD1p5zrCGXcG3CYpUJi0WPhKZFr2sF8HRNjNsEnJduIFUAhoQdZxL5hQe5AS0QaTvrxdQ5z1hw1kwJ5B2nQkPod8XD6Y3E4eJMn8tr0BCibcIusPCYW\/4+G\/Yeuobu\/pr82bvxdoSZau6Ow6+Xjyq2pr2q953XKusKZQ30SJx5oE8NuUARh6i4MjKzHe9TFXjvwJhq5g0AWjhEsVVBk+JQLUDtYLpKb9AbKWeNzZhAZLYjWS474VUOSu6MqC5ItYIQIvL+wGTcSajbQAAAAAAAA==\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/lifestyle-desk-19049.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">Lifestyle Desk<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Our life needs a bit of style to get the perfect zing in the daily routine.
