The Portico is a boutique resort in Shamshabad, Hyderabad, 30 minutes from Hyderabad International Airport, 20 minutes from Kokapet, and 30 minutes from Gachibowli. The estate spans 35,000 sq ft and features five suites, a swimming pool with fibre optic light, private jacuzzi backyards, and a glass walled lounge that opens onto the lawn.
The design carries Manduva roots and a Bali soul, set inside a Hyderabad address. Drawing from Telugu courtyard homes and Balinese resort architecture, the property features open sky courtyards, glass ceilings, and terracotta tile roofs, with 80% of the estate open to the sky.
The Portico is built on one principle. Every lawn, every suite, every moment, reserved for you and yours alone.
Open to sky courtyards, open to sky bathrooms, and a glass ceiling above every bed for stargazing from where you sleep.
Five Manduva inspired suites with pine wood ceilings, skylit interiors, and a hexagonal architectural form repeated across the estate.
A mandap style hall under a high terracotta tiled ceiling, and a glass walled lounge that opens straight onto the lawn.
Designed to endure, the property is built with rainwater harvesting, thousands of trees, and an ethos of ageing gracefully with the land it calls home. A rainwater system stores thousands of gallons underground for reuse, heat resistive 3M glass keeps the suites cool, energy efficient LED lighting runs throughout, and a solar plant to power the estate is planned.

The Portico is the place he wanted to exist and could not find, so he built it with Praveen Architects on a memory of open skies and quiet land.
Reserve the estate for a private weekend, a celebration of up to 500, or a corporate offsite. One group at a time, always.
