I design Alibaug holiday homes that blend deep nature with comfort, crafting private, resort-like landscapes where the outside truly feels like home.

In this Alibaug home, I designed a sunken outdoor lounge surrounded by lush greenery. The built-in seating is nestled amongst large Monstera plants and ferns, creating a private, cozy nook that feels completely immersed in nature.

The entrance foyer of this Alibaug house is designed to feel like a tropical pavilion. I used a curated selection of large potted plants to add grandeur and create a welcoming, green transition from the outside world into the home.

The morning sun highlights the varied textures of the planting at the entrance of this Alibaug villa. I used a mix of bright green groundcover and taller, architectural plants to create a layered and visually interesting welcome.

A simple stone walkway cuts through a garden filled with diverse textures. On one side, broad-leafed plants create a bold statement, while on the other, delicate flowering shrubs add softness and color.

The soft evening light of winter catches the vibrant green of ferns in this Alibaug garden. My planting designs are always mindful of how the light will interact with the foliage at different times of the day.

This meandering stone pathway in an Alibaug garden invites a slow, leisurely stroll. The path is flanked by lush, informal planting, creating a sense of journey and discovery as you walk toward the sunset.

Natural boulders are nestled among flowering shrubs and a manicured lawn. I often use locally sourced stones in my designs to add a sculptural element and create a seamless blend between the manicured and the wild.
