As we approach our final preparations for this retreat, we have a limited number of spaces remaining for those wishing to join us from 8–14 March 2026. This six-day itinerary offers an immersive journey through the architectural legacy and natural beauty of the region. We begin in the city, tracing the enduring geometry of Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret. Over three nights at the Hyatt Centric, guests will discover the city's most celebrated design landmarks and gain private access to homes, studios and creative spaces seldom seen by the public, offering an intimate perspective on Chandigarh's vibrant creative community. | | | The journey continues to Amaya, a secluded sanctuary and member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, set within a ten-hectare pine forest. Conceived by Bijoy Jain of Studio Mumbai, the hand-built villas and cottages are embedded in the terraced landscape. Days here unfold at a gentler rhythm: guided horticultural tours, walks through nearby villages, and quiet moments by the stone pool. Exquisite dining is central to this experience, and we will conclude our journey with a final dinner at Naar, the celebrated restaurant by chef Prateek Sadhu, where a seasonal menu draws on the region's ingredients and flavours.
