Mukesh Ambani is one of the greatest global billionaires to embody the flashy lifestyle with wealth from India. Although personally, he heads Reliance Industries and is India’s richest person, Ambani attends some of the most exclusive places on planet Earth. To begin with, he offloaded to purchase an estate owned outside the United Kingdom- UK Stoke Park Country Club. Let’s see Ambani’s UK property in detail and his broad objectives in relation to its future developments, shall we?
Situated on the edge of Buckinghamshire, the Park offers a stunning 250 acres of landscaped plot. The estate is not just a prestigious name but the history itself is legendary, featuring the cornerstones of its original manor house, medieval and gothic parts emerging around the eleventh century. During the passage of time, the Palatine was a dwelling of a duke, and of royalty. It also appeared twice in cinematic masterpieces of James Bond flicks – Goldfinger and Tomorrow Never Dies.
By 2021, an Indian conglomerate Reliance Industries had made a big deal, purchasing Stokke Park for more than Rs.592 crores. Ambani’s vision began long ago with the purchase of the heritage property, which he now wants to preserve in its original grandeur and rejuvenate with its old world charm as part of his aggressive renovation plans to make the property a world-class luxury resort and golf club. He and Oberoi Hotels, a leading hospitality player in India, are in partnership. The latter will lead to redevelopment and control of operations.
To this day, several features bear on what makes us unique, including our Gate House-styled manor, inside and outside swimming pools, the modern gym, three points where one can dine, and huge plots of land come to mind. Along with these 13 tennis courts, two croquet lawns and an eighteen-hole golf course constitute another aspect of the estate. The level of no expense at all helps to keep the lengthy history of the estate and amenities alike.
Ambani’s vision is for Stoke Park to emerge as the premier country club in the UK, catering to an exclusive clientele. Special events, weddings and private parties will be hosted amidst the sprawling greenery. World-class facilities and Oberoi’s renowned service will attract golfing aficionados and leisure travelers from around the globe.
This ambitious project fits with Ambani’s ambitions to become a major player in international hospitality. Along with the Oberoi Group, Reliance already owns luxury hotels in India. Stoke Park will strengthen their high-end brand and presence in European markets.
For Ambani, acquiring heritage properties like Stoke Park is also a matter of personal interest. It allows him to indulge his passion for opulent living spaces and real estate ventures. The estate now joins Ambani’s collection of lavish homes in Mumbai, New York and Dubai.
