The Kahani Paradise Estate

A luxury house to rent in Gorkana, Karnataka, India

Situated to the south of Gokarna, where the cliffs of the Western Ghat plunge into the Arabian Sea, the estate is perched on a hill and offers stunning 360-degree views of the jungle, the sea and the mountains beyond. Surrounded by nature, peaceful, and almost spiritual, this is a truly unusual and exceptional place to stay.

A private, newly built home, the house offers six spacious, luxurious suites, each individually decorated with refined Indian fabrics, rugs, furniture, antique doors and high ceilings with fans and air conditioning. All have stunning views over the jungle and the sea.

A beautiful, elegant, open living area is perched above the infinity pool with stunning views and lots of comfortable seating. The formal open-air dining room is set to one side of the house and the huge wooden table can sit 14.

Twenty acres of private land surround the house and the wonderful tropical gardens afford myriad different walks down through the vegetable garden and orchards of betal, coconut and banana trees.

A terrace overlooks the picture-perfect Paradise Beach and is the best place for sundowners. The infinity pool has white tented pergolas to each side and hours can be spent there listening to the noises of the jungle and watching the eagles soar overhead.

A team of delightful, smiling staff are there to look after your every need and the cook serves delicious Indian/European dishes using fresh produce from the garden and local market.
