Star-filled night sky over the open grounds of The Eighth Element in Shamirpet
Sports · Stay · Celebrate · Wellness · Cosmos

From cricket to the cosmos.

Hyderabad's only true multi-experience destination — 32 green acres in Shamirpet, 35 minutes from the city, 20 from Genome Valley, under some of the darkest skies near Hyderabad.

The Grounds

Thirty-two acres. Sport, stay, celebration, wellness — and the stars.

There is exactly one place near Hyderabad where a cricket match, a wedding, a stargazing night and a quiet weekend stay can all happen under one canopy, on the same day. That place is thirty-two green acres in Shamirpet — close enough for a day outing, far enough for the sky to open up.

Guests move freely between the boundary field and the banquet hall, the spa and the telescope deck, a farm-to-table kitchen and a canvas tent under the stars. Nothing here is single-purpose. It's one resort near Hyderabad built around every reason you'd want to leave the city for a day, a night, or a weekend.

Signature Events a Year

Every element of the grounds — sport, stay, celebration, wellness, and the cosmos — was designed to work together rather than as separate attractions. A school trip in the morning can end in an astronomy session by night. A wedding weekend can include a sunrise yoga session and a telescope viewing for guests.

It's the reason we call it The Eighth Element: the one thing tying sport, hospitality, celebration and wellness together is the sky above all of them.

A night here is a journey through the cosmos.

35 kilometres from city light pollution, our astronomer-led telescope sessions run in partnership with professional astro-tourism operators — real optics, real sky-lore, and a resident astronomer at every session.
