Please note:
Meraki is zero-waste plastic free zone, lavish with green ecosystem and has its own adventurous (steep as well) 100 metre road to reach from the highway/main road. Meraki offers all required facilities which any world class residency would offer. We aren't a hotel, though. We are a creative space.
