THE EMERALD CLUB

What THE EMERALD CLUB does

The Emerald Club, operating through Arihant Hospitality LLP, is a luxury membership-based resort club located approximately 20 minutes from Rajkot city center in Gujarat, India, on the outskirts along Kalawad Road. The club is a joint venture between Shilpa Lifestyle, a jewelry and fashion house established in 1980, and Arihant Group of Companies, a real estate developer operating since 1995. Planning began in 2009, the foundation was laid in 2010, and the club was officially inaugurated in 2015 with a phased public rollout concluding with the December 2017 launch of the main club building and the January 2018 opening of the 4-acre Whitefield Party Lawns. The property integrates accommodation (four room tiers from Emerald Room to Presidential Suite), multiple dining venues (Masala Art, Sixth Sense, Golf'N'Grill, Garden to Table, Baking Co.), entertainment infrastructure (Screenplay theater with Dolby Atmos, 99 Feet discotheque with Martin Audio System), recreation (outdoor and virtual golf, swimming pool, bowling, laser tag, arcade, gym) and wellness (Aarogyam spa offering Ayurvedic treatments).

The business runs primarily on an annual recurring membership model that grants members access to all amenities, supplemented by transactional revenue streams from dining, activity fees, room rentals and a substantial event-hosting vertical targeting destination weddings (4-acre Whitefield lawns), corporate events (Waves banquet hall, conference rooms) and social celebrations. Membership pricing is not publicly disclosed; the website (a WordPress-based platform) directs inquiries to direct phone and email contacts. The club addresses a clear gap in the Rajkot/Saurashtra market, where members explicitly note the lack of premium entertainment and tourist venues, positioning The Emerald Club as the de facto leisure destination for affluent families, corporate clients and event hosts in the region.

Distribution is entirely direct and on-premises: customers consume all services at the single Rajkot site, with marketing limited to the company's own website, direct outreach and word-of-mouth referrals from existing members. The club reports 11 employees and has no disclosed external funding, no subsidiaries, no patents or certifications, and no digital presence beyond its WordPress website — making it a tightly held, family/JV-controlled hospitality asset rather than a venture-backed growth company.
