THE SAMARKAND STORY
Designed in the 1960s with Frank Lloyd Wright’s modernist touch, Samarkand House blends elegance with nature, just 50 minutes from Islamabad—yet worlds away. Built around two massive sandstone boulders, it feels both grounded and otherworldly.
Once a beloved family retreat, its name draws from the ancient city of Samarkand, evoking a spirit of history, fusion, and enchantment. Now, we welcome a select few to experience its serenity—where luxury meets nature, stories are shared over meals, and time slows in the embrace of the land.
A PLACE OF STORIES AND SPLENDOR
More than a destination, Samarkand House is a journey through culture and tradition. Its stone architecture, lush gardens, and vibrant interiors whisper stories of legacy and love.
Here, moments linger—whether in quiet solitude, savoring gourmet meals inspired by Samarkand’s ancient flavors, or embarking on adventures that connect you to the land. Whatever your vision, we’re here to bring it to life.
