Opening 2026 · Now under construction

Bali soul,
Wayanad earth.

Skaya Living is a three-bedroom infinity-pool villa taking shape among the coffee hills of Wayanad, Kerala — built the way the tropics build: terracotta overhead, water at the centre, forest on every side.

The villa

One plan, shaped like an L — with water in its arms.

The villa wraps around its own water. The double-height living-and-kitchen pavilion anchors the corner of the L, with two bedrooms beside it and a third in the side wing. Every room opens through floor-to-ceiling sliding glass onto a wrapping verandah — and the infinity pool, held in the L's embrace, spills its edge toward Chembra Peak.

The idea

Two latitudes, one verandah.

Bali and Wayanad sit a sea apart, yet they build for the same sun and the same rain. Skaya borrows the best instincts of both.

8° South — Bali lends

The way of water & openness

  • A pool at the heart of the home, not at its edge
  • Indoor–outdoor living: walls that give way to air
  • Teak, rattan and stone, left honest and unpolished
  • A poolside bale for slow afternoons
  • Frangipani and lotus in the courtyard planting
11° North — Wayanad lends

The way of earth & rain

  • Mangalore terracotta tiles, laid steep for the monsoon
  • Laterite-red earth and stone underfoot
  • Deep verandahs made for watching the rain
  • Coffee-estate air, mist in the mornings
  • Kerala craft in wood, brass and weave
Build journal

Watch it rise.

We're building Skaya in the open. The structure stands, the terracotta is on the roof, and the pool is being carved into the laterite. Here's where things are today.

The two wings of the L meet: the gabled living pavilion on the left, the bedroom wing under fresh Mangalore tile on the right.

From the verandah

Wayanad, all around.

The villa sits in the green heart of Kerala's hill country. Days here fill themselves.

Chembra Peak

Wayanad's highest trek, famous for the heart-shaped lake near its summit and tea slopes the whole way up.

Banasura Sagar

India's largest earthen dam — islands scattered across still water, ringed by the Banasura hills.

Edakkal Caves

Stone-age petroglyphs carved into a hilltop cleft; the climb rewards with carvings thousands of years old.

Coffee & spice estates

Walk plantations of coffee, pepper and cardamom — the scent that hangs in Wayanad's morning air.

Soochipara Falls

A three-tiered waterfall dropping through evergreen forest, at its thundering best after the rains.
