A boutique sanctuary in the hills of Manila — composed for connection.
Inspired by the works of Vatsyayana — the great Indian philosopher of love and connection — we built a resort where every detail invites two people to find themselves and each other again.
Forty kilometres from Jim Corbett National Park, amidst forests of white oak and chir pine, our resort is composed for repose. The architecture leans into the slope. Suites are positioned to catch the dawn light. Gardens are planted to attract the birds you would never otherwise hear. Our team is small enough to remember your name, large enough to attend to every detail of a celebration.
Our resort sits in the Shivalik Ranges of the Kumaon Himalayas — high enough to keep cool through summer and to gather snow in winter.
The elevation also means clear skies, cool air, and the kind of silence that takes a few hours to notice. Our guests often describe it as a return to a quieter version of themselves.
