Gamaya Farms, a stone-roofed eco-resort near Hyderabad, India, by Biome

Most resorts want to be seen. Gamaya Farms, in the town of Vikarabad near Hyderabad, tries hard not to be. Biome Environmental Solutions has spread its 854 square metres across the land as separate guesthouses and farm plots around a shared central building, taking cues from the nearby hills and forest. Director Anurag Tamhankar calls the aim "absolute camouflage".

The heart of it is a curved, single-storey pavilion holding reception, a large multi-purpose hall and the dining room. Its vaulted roof, sprayed concrete over mesh and topped with rough local rubble, reads like a small hill and is cut with rows of arched openings. Below, compressed earth-brick walls hold big circular windows, and the roof reaches out to shade a paved terrace.

Guests choose between two moods. Four cottages are sunk into the slope in front of the pavilion, reached by narrow, dark stairs that open into bedrooms with large north-facing windows. At the wooded edges, two cylindrical Forest Pavilions stand on concrete stilts, with yellow steel spiral stairs, curved plaster bathrooms below and glass-wrapped circular bedrooms above, looking out over the canopy.
