Milad Ma, the visionary behind Ventura Stays, has transformed the luxury travel experience by crafting meticulously curated stays in Dubai and, more recently, Bali. As the founder and CEO, Milad has not only built a brand synonymous with opulence but also carved out a distinct niche in the competitive world of high-end hospitality.

Milad began his journey in the luxury hospitality industry in Dubai, a city known for its grandeur and innovation. Starting with a few premium properties, he quickly established a reputation for excellence. Recently, he expanded his brand’s footprint to Bali, bringing his signature approach to luxury stays to this exotic destination.

Reflecting on his success in Dubai, Milad shared his insights during an appearance on the Subleasing Dubai podcast: “You have to do your research before diving in—look at the numbers, the buildings, and the tourism trends. Study the market thoroughly to understand what works.”

The Birth of a Luxury Brand

Milad’s passion for luxury travel was ignited during his early career in real estate in Dubai, where he developed a deep understanding of what high-net-worth individuals seek in their travel experiences. This knowledge became the foundation for Ventura Stays, which now boasts some of the most exclusive properties in Dubai and Bali.

A key element of Milad’s approach has been his ability to anticipate and respond to the evolving needs of his guests. This foresight led to the creation of Ventura One, a program that offers added layers of service and convenience for frequent travelers. Rather than being a mere rewards system, Ventura One is designed to enhance the overall experience for returning guests, offering thoughtful touches and personalized services that align with the brand’s commitment to exceptional hospitality. The program is a reflection of Milad’s philosophy that true luxury is found in the details that make each stay unique.

Despite the challenges of entering a saturated market, Milad’s vision and dedication quickly attracted a clientele that includes celebrities, influencers, and elite travelers from around the globe.

Innovating Luxury Experiences

With properties in two of the world’s most prestigious destinations, Ventura Stays operates on the belief that luxury is more than just lavish surroundings—it’s about creating unforgettable experiences. Drawing on his extensive experience, Milad has shaped a brand that constantly evolves to meet the changing needs of its guests.

“Our properties are more than just places to stay—they’re destinations in their own right,” says Milad. His latest projects include expanding the brand’s presence in Bali, with new properties that set new benchmarks in luxury living. Each villa is a masterpiece of design, offering guests a sanctuary where they can indulge in the finest comforts.

Moreover, Milad’s commitment to providing exceptional experiences has led to the development of Ventura One. This program is designed not just to reward loyalty but to deepen the relationship between Ventura Stays and its most frequent guests. By offering benefits like tailored welcome amenities and VIP treatment, Ventura One reflects Milad’s belief that true luxury lies in personalization and attention to detail.

The Future of Luxury Hospitality

Milad’s commitment to innovation and excellence drives Ventura Stays’ success. He envisions a future where luxury travel continues to evolve, with Ventura Stays leading the way in redefining true opulence.

Though the luxury hospitality industry faces challenges, particularly in the wake of global events, Milad remains optimistic. As long as Ventura Stays continues to innovate and adhere to its core values, Milad is confident that the brand will overcome any challenge and continue to deliver exceptional experiences.
