Six suites, six ways to wake up

Every room is en-suite, air-conditioned, and faces either the valley or the pool. Here is what is behind each door.

Duplex - sleeps 4

Penthouse Suite - Tulip 1

The first door on the left as you come through the porch, and the most theatrical room in the house. Tulip 1 is a duplex - a stepped teak ceiling with warm cove lighting, corner windows running floor to ceiling onto the Sahyadri valley, and a king bed on a raised timber platform against a tan buttoned-leather headboard. Rope-hung Edison bulbs, Persian rugs on pale oak, a writing desk and armchair set into the window. Down a curved timber stair is the suite's own lounging net, a black rope deck slung over the lower level where the children end up with chess, cards and popcorn while you keep reading.

King bed - sleeps 4 - en-suite with rain shower - AC and ceiling fan - valley-facing corner windows - rope-net sitout - writing desk - skylight

DUPLEX · SLEEPS 4

Penthouse Suite - Tulip 2

Tulip 1's twin, and the quieter of the two. The same duplex layout and the same rope-net sitout, but here the bed sits in a window bay with the valley on two sides, and there is a proper desk nook by the second window with a balcony beyond it. Slatted timber ceiling, rope-hung Edison pendants, a pale buttoned headboard, and a curved timber balustrade wrapping the stair opening.

King bed · sleeps 4 · en-suite with rain shower · AC and ceiling fan · window-bay bed · rope-net sitout · dedicated workspace · balcony access

DAISY · SLEEPS 2–3

Premium Suite -Daisy

The calmest room in the villa. A high pitched ceiling in polished teak with exposed rafters, a deep red buttoned-leather headboard between floating timber bedside shelves, and red fabric reading sconces on either side. A frosted-glass wall separates the bedroom from the bath without losing the light. There is a leather bench at the foot of the bed, a window onto the garden, and a railing beyond it where the hills start.

King bed · sleeps 2–3 · en-suite with rain shower · AC and ceiling fan · vaulted teak ceiling · garden view · reading sconces.

ORCHID · SLEEPS 2 · BEST FOR COUPLES

Deluxe Suite -Orchid

If you are travelling as a couple, ask for Orchid. It is the only four-poster in the house — solid teak posts with sheer drapes, under a pitched ceiling of exposed beams, against a timber-panelled wall. A sliding glass door opens onto a private balcony at treetop height, and there is a desk in the window if you need an hour of quiet before anyone else is up.

King four-poster · sleeps 2 · en-suite with rain shower · AC and ceiling fan · private balcony · treetop view · writing desk.

LILY 1 · SLEEPS 2–3 · POOLSIDE

Executive Suite -  Lily 1

Ground level, poolside, and the easiest room in the villa to live in. An exposed red-brick feature wall behind a tan buttoned-leather headboard, timber beams and cove lighting overhead, a leather chaise at the foot of the bed, and sliding doors straight out to the pool deck with its own table and chairs. Roll out of bed and into the water.

King bed · sleeps 2–3 · en-suite with rain shower · AC and ceiling fan · direct pool access · private deck seating.

LILY 2 · SLEEPS 2–3 · POOLSIDE

Executive Suite -  Lily 2

Lily 1's neighbour, with a rougher, darker brick wall and a slatted teak media wall carrying the room's own television. Deep buttoned leather headboard, gold cove lighting, and the same sliding doors onto the pool deck — so two couples travelling together can take Lily 1 and Lily 2 and share the terrace between them.

King bed · sleeps 2–3 · en-suite with rain shower · AC and ceiling fan · smart TV · direct pool access.

The pool doesn't close at six

Swim at midnight if you want. The pool is lit, private and yours for the length of your stay - with a waterfall wall, a deck for loungers, and steps up to the barbecue and the bonfire pit.

Home-cooked, not room service

Our team cooks fresh in the villa kitchen - Maharashtrian home food and multi-cuisine, served on the terrace or under the fairy lights by the pool. Full-day meal plans from Rs 1,000 per person. Jain, Gujarati and Rajasthani thalis available. Please order 48 hours ahead.

Offsites, birthdays, anniversaries, reunions

Sixteen-plus beds, a projector-ready hall, a lawn that takes a long table, and a kitchen that can feed everyone three times a day. We have hosted corporate offsites, milestone birthdays and private celebrations - tell us the occasion and we will shape the stay around it.
