A gateway to Nirvana. Not getting away but coming home. A home that heals. A home nestled in luscious greenery. A home where the wind and the trees whisper sweet nothings. A home overlooking a lake whose water laps around the shore. A home with an aura that rests your mind. A home steeped in the very essence of well-being.
Our senses are the pathways by which we perceive the world.

HORIZON
See happiness all aroundThe villas clustered around courtyards leave open spaces for one’s sight to wander. Let your eyes meander
through every possible shade of green. Colours you did not even know existed. Clear blue ponds reflect the soothing colours of frangipani and lilac trees. See happiness all around.

HARMONY
Sink into the feelingGet in touch with your inner harmony. Unique meditative spaces created by the combination of natural elements come together to offer a space where you will be untouched by the flurry of modern life. Come in contact with the pleasing coolness of dewdrops or the earthy coarseness of wood as you sink into the feeling.

permeates the air and crafts an aura of relaxing calmness. Discover the intoxication of the aura of tranquillity. Give in and succumb to the smell.

Immerse in the tasteAn abundance of trees bearing fruits and herbs infuse the flavours of nature into the very air. Get a taste of nature as the heady fragrance and striking colours of the flora create a feast for the senses. Ambrosia will be a tribute to the sybarite in you as you immerse in the taste.
