The Collection
Why Alaya
Every stay is visited, vetted, and chosen for a reason — its design, its story, and the people behind it.
Fewer than 3% of properties we consider make it in. We stay before you do.
Local hosts, regional food, native materials. Travel that gives back.
Human, not chatbot. From private chefs to hidden temples, we open the doors.
Rare experiences designed with masters — potters, chefs, healers, guides.

Voices
"The kind of quiet luxury that lingers in your memory long after the trip. Every detail — the hand-painted frescoes, the mango-wood scent, the butler who remembered our tea — felt personal."
Aditi Malhotra
Amanaya Palace, Udaipur
"Nothing prepared me for waking up above the clouds. Alaya's team curated our stay like it was theirs — pine-smoke fires, private treks, a chef who made memories on a plate."
James Whitfield
Kandara Retreat, Chail
"We celebrated ten years of marriage here. The villa was ours entirely — vinyl records, moon-lit swims, and a table set for two beneath a jackfruit tree. Unforgettable."
Priya & Rohan
Solace by the Sea, Goa
