Just beyond the edge of the city, Antaral invites us to step out of routine and into the quiet rhythm of the countryside. Spread across nearly four acres in Madhyamgram, this rural retreat is shaped by bamboo, thatch, clay, and open sky, with a light touch that lets the land lead.
Here, a meal comes from the fields, a pot is shaped by hand, and a morning begins with birdsong from above the treetops. Antaral is a place to gather, stay, make, and simply be, a reminder that the best escapes are often closer than we think.
A versatile 100-capacity venue spanning 4,000 sq ft, designed for gatherings and events of every kind. Featuring a spacious main gathering area, a fully equipped pantry, and dedicated dry, cold, and equipment storage. Generous lobby, corridor, and spill-out spaces ensure seamless transitions for guests throughout any event.
Gathering Pavilion
A boutique farm-to-table cafe of 2,000 sq ft with a semi-outdoor-indoor dining area, supported by a kitchen. Alongside it, a craft workshop invites guests to explore pottery, ceramics, and handicrafts rooted in rural tradition. Together, they offer a complete experience of tasting, making, and slowing down with the land.
Cafe & Workshop
An oval-shaped bamboo structure, designed as a welcoming hub for gatherings, discussions, and client meetings. The open, flowing form encourages conversation and connection, topped with bamboo shingle roofing, creating a warm, organic space that feels rooted in its surroundings.
Experience Centre
The cottages, 1,000 sq ft each, are thoughtfully designed for double and triple occupancy. Each cottage offers a private, character-rich retreat that reflects the craftsmanship and rural charm of its surroundings. Spacious and comfortable, they provide guests a restful stay close to nature.
Guesthouse
A converted water tank reimagined as an elevated bird watching tower, crafted with bamboo and thatch. Rising above the landscape, it offers guests sweeping, unobstructed views of birdlife and the surrounding countryside. Rustic and low-impact in character, it blends naturally into the setting while giving visitors a quiet vantage point to observe and unwind.
