Cocoa and Jasmine is India's first independent print magazine to work within design and travel globally.

They produce an annual publication that is distributed worldwide and brings you original stories collected during their travels. Along with the long form magazine, they also curate design city guides featuring independent businesses and spaces and also create limited edition photo books.

Through their creative agency, they work with creative travellers around the globe to curate craft and design experiences as well as travel itineraries.

We invited the founder Sayali Goyal to handpick a couple of her favourite hotels in India that have a design focus. These are lesser known destinations for a discerning audience who likes to experience authentic travel.
