Imagine staying at a luxury eco resort in Telangana where rooms remain naturally cool even during peak summer, without switching on an air-conditioner. At Arbor Road Estate, located near Wargal on the Deccan plateau, this is not an idea on paper but a lived experience.
Designed as a conscious alternative to conventional luxury resorts, Arbor Road Estate is a story of regeneration. What was once a barren stretch of land has been carefully transformed into a thriving, biodiverse eco-luxury retreat surrounded by forests, gardens, and restored water bodies.
From Barren Land to Biodiverse Eco Retreat
Sustainability is not an add-on here, it is the foundation. The estate features a 50 lakh litre rainwater harvesting pond, over 18,000 native saplings planted across Miyawaki forests and curated landscapes, and a 20 KVA grid-tied solar power system that supports daily operations.
Every element of the resort has been designed to reduce environmental impact while offering genuine comfort.
Cooling Rooms Naturally Without Air Conditioners
One of the biggest challenges faced during development was maintaining comfortable indoor temperatures in Hyderabad’s extreme summers without relying on energy-intensive air conditioning.
The solution lies in passive cooling architecture and thoughtful material choices:
- Buildings are constructed using compressed stabilized earth blocks (CSEB) made on-site
- Thick cavity walls and double-glazed windows reduce heat absorption
- Carefully planned cross ventilation allows constant airflow
- Large ducted swamp coolers placed at roof level bring in fresh, cool air instead of recycled air
- A unique underfloor chilled water piping system cools the room from the ground up
As a result, indoor temperatures stay around 28°C even when outdoor temperatures touch 45°C, using nearly one-third the energy of conventional air conditioners.
An added benefit is that rooms remain cool even during power outages, since the cooled floors retain temperature for hours.
Eco-Luxury That Does Not Compromise Comfort
Arbor Road Estate proves that luxury and sustainability can coexist. Guests enjoy serene, thoughtfully designed spaces that feel comfortable, calm, and connected to nature without excessive energy use or artificial cooling.
This balance of innovation and restraint is what makes the experience unique.
