Their latest collection of dinky hotels, the Le Sutra Great Escapes Villas, is where you run away from the crowds to enjoy the turn of the year in a socially distanced environment. What’s being touted as the “world’s first conceptual art holiday home” is available for short-term rental. Geometrica, the three-bedroom villa, is housed inside a gated community (Rs 37,000 for two nights; accommodates up to 10 people). The entrance features a wall installation of embossed copper. It is a rendition of the sun, moon, and constellations.

The foyer is adorned with a Sahasrara chakra abstraction, crafted out of a punched metal sheet, which when backlit, comes alive. The art, all by homegrown artists, is reflected even in the mundane—the pen holder on the table, and in the flooring. The themed bedrooms have unique headboards; our favourite with a stepwell motif in cement. The outdoor area includes an exclusive private swimming pool, garden with cabana and an outdoor bar area that features a trippy, illusion mirror.
