Aayu, which means 'life', reflects our focus on enhancing the quality and experience of living. The Aayu brand has been inspired by a singular, authentic, and original intent to create spaces that are minimal and calming to the souls yet bring resonance to the rich cultural past.

The Aayu brand aims to provide guests with a warm sense of heritage homes.
