In pursuit of the rare

Wake up to the rhythm of nature, the murmur of the seasonal river, the hush of the trees and the distant call of the forest's wild inhabitants at Tipai

- NEERJA KAPADIA

Tipai runs on solar power, grows its own food, and restores the land through rainwater harvesting, reforestation and chemical-free, climate-conscious practices. More than 80 percent of the employees are from the neighbouring village of Marathwakdi.

A true marvel in conscious luxury, this resort — masterfully designed by interior architect Ariane Thakore Ginwala — is certainly something to write home about.

Nestled along the buffer zone of Tipeshwar National Park, Tipai is a secluded 34-acre resort offering private pool residences and forest villas. Thoughtfully designed using local materials and sustainable techniques like rammed earth and stone masonry, every space seems to blend smoothly with the surrounding landscape.
