The property has 12 individually designed villas — ranging from the Serene Valley Cabin (PKR 39,000/night) to the Presidential Suite with private jacuzzi (PKR 70,000/night).

Presidential Suite — The Flagship
Rate: PKR 65,000–70,000 per night
Capacity: 2 guests primary — up to 4
Defining feature: Private terrace jacuzzi with 270-degree mountain view
The Presidential Suite is the property's most requested villa. The private terrace jacuzzi — positioned above the hillside with views extending across the Murree ridge — is what guests describe first on return. The terrace captures morning light from the northeast; by 8am, with the jacuzzi at 40°C and the Bhurban air at 12°C, the experience is singular in the Murree hills.
Himalayan Penthouse — The View Villa
Rate: PKR 60,000–65,000 per night
Capacity: 2–4 guests
Defining feature: Panoramic balcony — the largest private view terrace on the estate
The Himalayan Penthouse occupies the highest position on the estate, giving the broadest sky-to-hill view of any villa. The balcony runs approximately 8 metres across the mountain-facing facade. On clear autumn mornings the view extends from the Murree ridge to the haze of the Islamabad plain below.
Garden Villa Retreat & Alpine Family Lodge — The Family Villas
Rate: PKR 55,000–70,000/night depending on villa and season
Capacity: 6–12 guests
Defining feature: Multiple bedrooms with shared family living space and garden access
Two villas are specifically configured for families. The Garden Villa Retreat (3 bedrooms, garden terrace, for families of 6–8) and the Alpine Family Lodge (3+ bedrooms, extended living area, for 8–12 guests). Unlike hotel rooms in a corridor, these villas give families a unified shared indoor space combined with individual bedroom privacy.
