• Hidden amidst mango and chikoo plantations, sit 4 mud houses, that perfectly represent what
Anchaviyo stands for – the rustic life of being one with nature, infused with signature style of
luxurious comfort.

• The Saffron, Ochre, Olive and Maroon mud houses, that are more or less identical, have been
built by a talented family of a local Warli tribe. They have used their age old techniques and
materials such as cow dung to layer the walls and wood and hay for the roofs.

• These air conditioned, spacious, circular houses that come with an en-suite bathroom, can
accommodate 2 people alongwith two extra beds.

• To add to their rustic charm, are the Rajasthani Jharoka windows, the clay artefacts from Kutch,
and of course, the traditional Warli art that adorns their walls – inside and out.
• Hidden high up in the clouds, far from the hustle and bustle, lies The Igloo -
your peaceful abode in the sky.

• Climb up the winding stairs and make your way to your private oasis of
tranquility. Step out of your Igloo and into the balcony to soak in the
mesmerising panoramic views of green, till as far as the eye can see.

• Watch the Vaitarna river make its way across the landscape, as you bask in
the breeze flowing past over a hot cup of coffee or a cool glass of wine.

• Climb down to your sprawling bathtub and wash your worries away as you
gaze out the French windows. When you are ready, you can also step down
into the resort and make the most of all the exciting activities at Anchaviyo.

• Accommodates 2 adults. Not suitable for infants, children and expectant

mothers.
 1. Bird’s Nest I & II
• Bird's nest is a unique pair of
chalets, inspired by the gorgeous
farmhouses of the English
Countryside.

• Both chalets, connected to each

other by a bridge on the balcony,
are identical in size, dimensions
and style.

• However, it is their gorgeous décor that sets them apart. Each of

the two chalets is spread over two levels and accommodates two.

• On the first level, lie a beautiful, cozy seating area, a large

bathroom and a staircase leading upwards.

• But that's not all. Step outside onto the little patio and you'll find its
most unique feature – an open air bathtub cum plunge pool, with
an unadulterated view of nature.

• Up the stairs, on the second level, sits the snug four-poster bed, and
a balcony overlooking the calm river below.

• The Bird's Nest truly is your home away from home. Please note,
the plunge pool in the Bird's Nest, is not a jacuzzi and it has hot
water facilities.
2. Bee Hive
• Taking its name from the artificial bee hive that adorns its center, this
chalet is perfect for small groups looking to escape the city.
• Two four-poster beds lie on opposite ends and each is equipped with
curtains to create a cocoon of privacy. The chalet can accommodate four
and has two separate bathrooms for added privacy. The chalet is set
apart by its high ceilings, brightly coloured chandeliers and a view of the
beautiful waterfall that serves as the seat of Lord Shiva, just outside its
window. Its most intriguing feature however, is the enormous swing that
hangs below it and over the stream that runs beneath, from the waterfall
to the river. Able to seat four, the swing is the perfect spot to grab a
drink or play a game on a lazy afternoon.
2. Tree House
• Walking up a charming little spiral staircase will lead you right to the
center of the beautiful chalet, built around a majestic Peepul Tree. The
seating area by the river, and the dining table that overlooks the
football field, are perfect for long conversations or pensive musings.
With a grand, four-poster bed that can accommodate two, the Tree
House is the perfect hideout for a couple looking to get lost in nature.
• Note, the plunge pool in the Tree house, is not a jacuzzi and it has hot
water facilities.
