Three parts to it, none of them required. Wake when you wake. Wander when you feel like wandering. The estate keeps its own slow time, and you are welcome to keep yours. What follows is one day, hour by hour.
Nobody hands you a schedule here, so it helps to hear it from the person who built the place. A minute on what the hours actually feel like — then the day below is yours to read, or ignore.
Birdsong first, then a breakfast you didn't have to plan. The pool is warm and empty before the day finds it. You will hear the forest waking before you see a single other guest.
Walk down to the farm and pull a tomato off the vine. Lose an hour to carrom and a paperback. Steam, then sleep. The afternoon will not ask anything of you.
As the light drops, there is a bonfire, a sky thick with stars, and your own bottle poured slowly. Karaoke, if the mood turns. On a clear night you will count more stars than you have in years.
No itinerary. These are simply here.
Eleven rooms set in a living forest, with the pool, the steam, the table and the trees that hold it all together.
These come with the room. Breakfast every morning, the water, the steam, the games. Nothing here is an upsell.
A plated breakfast to start each day, cooked fresh, included with your stay.
A clean, ozone-treated pool, open to all guests through your stay.
Steam to loosen the day, and showers open to the sky above.
Millet snacks, tea, coffee and water, on the house, whenever you reach for them.
Chess, carrom, table tennis, billiards, and a gym under open sky.
Bring your own bottle to the outdoor lounge and pour it slowly.
Breakfast comes with every stay. Lunch and dinner are a la carte from the restaurant, cooked fresh and pre-ordered before you arrive, so the kitchen cooks to your table, not to a buffet bin. Proudly BYOB. You will taste the difference of food made to order, not held warm under a lamp.

Built around the trees, not over them. Solar power, recycled water, and air that still smells of the forest. You will notice your breathing slow before you notice anything else.
Plenty, none of it required. Float in the ozone pool, visit the farm, gather around a bonfire under the stars, and play carrom, table tennis, billiards or chess. There is steam, open-sky showers, birdwatching, trails nearby, karaoke and movies in the hall. Or do nothing at all.
Your room, breakfast each morning, and the run of the estate: the ozone pool, the steam room and open-sky showers, the millet snack station, indoor games, the open-air gym and the BYOB lounge. Lunch, dinner and a massage can be added separately.
Yes, an ozone-treated swimming pool, open to all guests through your stay. It is at its best early, before the day finds it.
Breakfast is included with every stay. Lunch and dinner are a la carte from the on-site restaurant, cooked fresh to order, so we ask you to pre-order before you arrive. Orchid Tree is proudly BYOB.
Yes. The trampoline, games and farm visit keep children busy, and the Family Rooms and Chandana, the family cottage, are made for families and groups, with flexible bedding for children eight and under.
About forty-five minutes from Whitefield, in Bangalore Rural near Hoskote, and roughly an hour from Kempegowda International Airport. The exact location is shared once your stay is confirmed, to keep the estate private.
The day is yours to fill or to waste. Pick a room, pick a weekend, and come see how slow time can go. Read more about the table on the restaurant page, or about the place itself on about.
