A Luxury Resort near Hyderabad
Live the Slow Life
A world of its own
Eleven acres of forests, gardens and water. Just nine rooms and tents. Personally hosted by the founders and the people who helped create this place. A private world to wander, play, discover — or simply be together
Room to feel at home
Earthen walls made here at the estate. Reclaimed Burma teak, beautifully appointed interiors and the quiet comfort of eco cooling. Thoughtful spaces, with room to make yourself at home.
The pleasure of discovery
Follow a path through the forest. Watch a dragonfly settle. Climb the lighthouse for views across the countryside. Discover a quiet corner beside the water, or gather for a game before the sun goes down.
The joy of being together
A game of pickleball that runs into the evening. A cheerful ride in the estate’s e-rickshaw. Something delicious from the kitchen, followed by laughter around a bonfire. Some weekends deserve an extra day.
Barren to Biodiverse
Once barren, rocky land. Today, a world of forests, gardens and water. Peacocks calling in the distance, orchards heavy with seasonal fruit, butterflies dancing among the flowers, and the fragrance of ylang-ylang drifting along shaded paths.
It began with the first trees planted in 2015. Nature has since returned in ways we could scarcely have imagined.
Some places are best discovered slowly.
A little more laughter. Another game before dinner. Stories shared around the table, children finding their next adventure, and everyone rediscovering the simple joy of being together
Come, make yourself at home.
