Isla’s Ridge
Designer-retreat – hilltop-hideaway – nature‑immersive
Perched at about 1,200 metres in the Western Ghats, the property comprises two whitewashed plantation‑style bungalows with tin roofs, tastefully furnished with vintage pieces from designer Isla “Loulou” Van Damme’s collection. Each of the five bedrooms has its own verandah with views across lush valleys, warmed by timber floors reclaimed locally and large bathrooms with vegan bath products.
Days here unfold slowly — you might wander through the garden, watch clouds drift over the hills, savour meals made from estate‑grown produce, or swim in the pool overlooking the ridge. It’s ideal for quietly disconnecting, drawing creative energy, or simply being still among birds, light and greenery.
