Woods at Sasan

Scroll

The first and only boutique resort in Gir, the Woods at Sasan is located within an eight acre mango orchard around 10 minutes’ drive from the park entrance.  Each of the 38 rooms is decorated with local materials and each feature either a private garden or open-air terrace.  There is a pleasant swimming pool plus four excellent restaurants serving a range of local and western meals.  By far our favourite is the Swadesh which serves delicious and authentic vegetarian dishes from the region.  There is also an excellent Ayurveda, Yoga and Wellness centre.

Facilities

Rooms feature floor-to-ceiling glass windows, interiors of unpolished stone, lime plasters and hand-tooled wood enhanced by terrracotta, toran or traditional bead-work and hand-woven macramé wall-hangings. Hand-dyed khadi linen and elegant furniture custom-made from reclaimed wood, offer a stay that is luxurious yet understated. Rooms come complete with complimentary WiFi, air-conditioning, flat-screen TV and safety deposit box. Please note: as Gujarat is a dry state, no alcohol can be purchased at this lodge.

Local Wildlife

Close to the hotel is the Gir National Park, home to the world’s last surviving population of Asiatic lion. The park also has a healthy population of leopard, deer, antelope and over 300 species of bird.

Optional Activities

Safari game drives in the national park, bird walks, village visits, Yoga and Wellness treatments.
