Prarthana Puri

AR2047

In today’s hyperconnected world, we face a lot of digital distractions.  What if there exists a retreat offers a rare and much-needed escape from this modern overstimulation, inviting guests to step away from their screens and immerse themselves fully in meaningful, grounding experiences.
 Being situated on a man made island, this retreat exists as a metaphorical and literal escape – a place removed from the city yet still within reach, offering a reimagined luxury that is rooted not in extravagance but in the intimacy of experience.
Here, art, gardening, and essential oil extraction become powerful antidotes to the digital age. The process of cultivating flowers for essential oils, for instance, draws guests into the natural rhythms of planting, nurturing, and harvesting. This hands-on connection with the earth replaces the fragmented attention of digital life with the simplicity of nature’s cycles. Extracting essential oils and using them in spa treatments or therapeutic baths further envelop guests in calming, aromatic experiences that soothe the mind and engage the senses. Art, too, offers a respite from overstimulation. Guests blend essential oils into their paints, creating works that not only engage the eye but also release delicate, calming scents with each brushstroke.
