“What does IBNII mean to me? It represents a sanctuary in nature, a concept rooted in my father's commitment to preserving trees and promoting water conservation. Inspired by his ethos of "don't cut trees; every branch that needs a trim needs my approval," along with his water conservation efforts, IBNII embodies a space of tranquility for me.
This tranquility prompted introspection about the essence of our home, health, and wellness. The guiding questions—What defines our home? What is true wellness? What shapes us?—became the cornerstone of building and growing IBNII. The Earth, our sacred ground, instilled gratitude, leading to environmental responsibility. Waste management initiatives, sustainability discussions, and the rejection of single-use plastic became integral to our ethos.
IBNII evolved into a luxurious vacation destination, blending opulence with a profound love for nature and environmental stewardship. How can our lifestyle harmonize with nature while respecting its resources? This query steered the transformation of IBNII into a wellness destination, balancing indulgence with ecological mindfulness.
In the kitchen, a vital component of wellness, the emphasis on food as a source of nourishment and awareness took center stage. The Concept Kitchen emerged, dedicated to serving dishes without MSG or additives. Prioritizing whole and natural ingredients over processed ones, it initiated a shift toward healthier, sustainable choices.
This commitment extended beyond the kitchen to the land, where no artificial fertilizers are used. Natural methods of pest control, kitchen compost, and cow dung contributed to the production of fresh and healthy produce. This cycle of well-being extended to the spa, where treatments relied on natural ingredients sourced from fruits and vegetables.
Wellness, I discovered, is an ongoing journey. It involves adapting, changing, and radiating light at every step. The IBNII promotes this philosophy by encouraging walking over taking a buggy—a key ingredient to peace.
Ayurveda became a vital component, leading to the establishment of Aarogya by The IBNII—a center for holistic treatments with specialized practitioners.
Curated packages for short and extended stays offer opportunities to return to the mundane world refreshed. IBNII serves as a nature sanctuary, providing respite from the chaos of urban life, whether for quality time with loved ones, creative office offsites, or personal introspection. In essence, IBNII is not just a destination; it's a haven for the mind, body, and soul.” - Owner’s Vision
