Tropical style has a new address—right here in India.
Drawing inspiration from the tranquil beauty of Balinese architecture, a new wave of design is washing over beach towns. Thatched roofs, open spaces, and natural textures are making a comeback—but with a modern twist.
At the heart of this shift is synthetic thatch roofing. It blends the charm of island living with the strength and comfort suited for Indian weather.
The Balinese Touch
Balinese architecture is rooted in nature. Think sloping thatched roofs, open-air lounges, wooden beams, and stone walls. It is simple but elegant in every aspect—designed for breezes, shade, and lounging. This look isn’t merely pretty—it works. Especially in tropical climates like ours.
Most coastal regions in India—Goa, Pondicherry, Kovalam, Gokarna—have similar hot, humid, and salty conditions. Balinese design fits well here, both in function and form.
But one problem stood in the way: traditional thatch doesn’t last. It weathers quickly, attracts pests, and needs regular upkeep.
That’s where synthetic thatch steps in.
Why Synthetic Thatch?
Synthetic thatch resembles real grass but is made from high-quality materials that can last for years. It’s strong, light, and built to withstand sun, rain, and wind. Here’s why Indian property owners are choosing it:
-
Long-lasting: It doesn’t rot, mold, or attract termites.
-
Low maintenance: No patching or replacing regularly.
-
Weather-proof: Resistant to heat, storms, and salty air.
-
Environmentally friendly: No need to harvest palm leaves or grass.
-
Fire-resistant: Safer than dry, natural thatch.
It’s also visually stunning. You still get that warm, tropical look—without the headache.

Resorts That Get It
More Indian resorts are turning to synthetic thatch to create dream-like spaces:
-
Goa: Luxury beach villas use thatched gazebos for private sit-outs.
-
Kerala: Wellness resorts feature thatched treatment rooms and pavilions.
-
Pondicherry: Boutique stays add tropical flair with thatched porches and cafés.
Guests feel like they’ve stepped into Bali. That’s the power of good design.
Design That Feels Like a Getaway
You don’t need a full resort to feel tropical. Even a small backyard can become a sanctuary.
Ideas to try:
-
Add a thatch-covered pergola to your terrace
-
Build a poolside bar or garden gazebo
-
Pair with wooden blinds, stone paths, and soft lighting
Eco-Friendly and Future-Ready
Real thatch is often harvested unsustainably. Synthetic thatch is made once, lasts for years, and is recyclable.
With climate extremes becoming common, long-lasting materials are no longer optional—they’re essential.
