There is a particular stillness that comes at extremely high altitude.
As if the world has been somehow put on pause.
Waking up and having a cup of coffee directly overlooking Mt. Everest is an unparalleled experience.

Nomadic Resorts designed K***a Himalayan Resort & Spa with Pumori Journeys to provide select guests with complete luxury at 3,100 m above sea level (10,171 ft) — a sanctuary for those who long for true silence. A true escape.
A place where architecture dissolves into landscape, and hospitality becomes a dialogue with the mountain and the community.
K***a defines a new destination category: Ultra Isolated Luxury — personalized wellness, radical adventure and fabulous cuisine floating in the clouds.
Early‑bird bookings now open.

Sometimes it is good to see things from a different point of view. Here is Madi Hiyaa tail from the perspective of someone lounging on the catamaran net hammock suspended above the lagoon.....

Louis spent much of last week staying in a treehouse in a remote mountain valley in Turkey. The hosts were an eclectic group of permaculturists, forragers and organic farmers - this unique team of druids and herbalists are pushing the boundaries of the farm hotel concept to its limits - fermentation tanks full of bubbling melasses are used to produce micro-organism filled fertilizers, greenhouses overflowing with heirloom vegetable seedlings, barrels of home-made cider vinegar for pickling and freshly pruned orchards of rare apple and cherry species.
The project is located in a hidden valley - no neighbours, no pesticide residue, no air pollution - just crystal-clear water flowing directly from the mountain source.
At the bottom of the side a mountain stream provides the ultimate spa experience - waterfalls and rock pools create an icy cold natural whirlpool bath.
It was an honour to work with such a passionate community dedicated to creating a remarkable project. Chopping wood and feeding the kindling into my little stove I realized that this project epitomizes a new form luxury - quieter, more subtle, real.

Ecovillages of the Future
For two decades we have designed exclusive, ‘luxury’ eco-resorts, lodges and villas.
We have learnt secret methods, tricks of the trade and subtle nuances from industry pioneers to provide world class guest experiences for high-net-worth individuals. However, despite the glitz and glamour, the PR talk and soundbites (yawn) one unique challenge always seems somehow unachievable- a true sense of community- spaces where people can connect on a deeply personal level. These elite guests may, at best, meet a couple of like-minded individuals on the golf course or at the bar, but these interactions are often ephemeral and superficial.
The nature of hospitality is transient: guests come for a fixed period, enjoy themselves on holiday and return to the status quo of their everyday lives – often hectic environments in large cities, with a toxic cocktail of air pollution, micro-plastics and volatile organic compounds replacing the Mai Tais on a secluded beach.
Over the last month we have been working on a very different concept – an eco-village articulated around permaculture principals to produce high quality organic produce in a deeply respectful way. The clients’ vision goes well beyond the traditional definitions of luxury- on a pristine site hidden in the mountains they are using sophisticated technologies and green building techniques to create an intentional community anchored in a deep understanding of the land and the surrounding eco-system. The ostentatious trappings of branded residential communities and longevity spas are replaced by amenities and systems that provide real long-term value- grey water irrigation networks, automated composting systems, fermentation tanks and high-tech greenhouse powered by renewable energies and smart micro grids are mixed with music studios and art workshops.
As we help them deliver this Utopian vision, I realize that they are making a smart investment: as trouble looms, they are investing in resilience and community.

Our first built project in the US reinterprets the vernacular barn typology to create an off-grid cabin with stunning views of the Catskills. The building combines passive design principles with a range of state-of-the-art green building technologies.
Many thanks to for trusting us with this unique getaway and to for the stunning photography.

The real breakthrough in wellness design isn't happening in treatment rooms - it's happening in neuroscience labs.

Recent studies show that biophilic design - natural materials, organic forms, living elements - triggers measurable neurological responses that no infrared sauna can replicate:

→ 15% reduction in cortisol within 20 minutes of nature exposure
→ Improved cognitive function in spaces with natural light patterns
→ Faster recovery rates in environments with organic textures and greenery

We're designing resorts where wellness happens before guests even book a treatment. Where the journey from lobby to suite becomes the therapy. Where materials, light, and landscape work together to activate your parasympathetic nervous system.

The future of wellness hospitality isn't adding more technology.

It's understanding how the human brain responds to nature - and designing every touchpoint around that science.

As a turbulent and unpredictable year comes to an end I wanted to take the opportunity to thank all our team, clients, and collaborators for their support and friendship. From the darkest jungles of Rwanda to the dusty deserts of Rajasthan we have expanded our reach globally this year with exciting new projects in Nepal, Africa, Zanzibar, US, and India we are re-defining nature positive hospitality. We look forward to blossoming in 2026 when many of the seeds planted in 2025 will come to fruition. Watch this space.

We have been out and about in Amazing India over the last few weeks. I We cannot yet share details of our resort project in Kerala, but we think a sneak peak of some of the textures from site can give a glimpse of the craftsmanship and attention to detail invested in this project.
Our latest projects show that we are natural building polymaths - we love to work with timber, mud, rammed earth, stone, thatch, shingles and lime.
