Nestled among 300 lush mango trees, Woods at Sasan sits within this eight- acre orchard at the edge of the Gir National Park. The rooms and villas on the property have been aesthetically designed keeping a close eye on both comfort and sustainability.
The resort has 38 accommodation units under different categories- The Woods Studios, The Woods Studios with Terrace, The Woods Pavilions and The Woods Villa. They have been built using indigenous materials by local craftsmen with minimal intrusions to the natural terrain and foliage.
There are two restaurants at the lodge. While ‘Swadesh’ specialises in local flavours, the ‘Terracotta Restaurant & Terrace’ has al fresco dining inspired by local and global cuisines.
Treatments at in-house wellbeing center ‘Som’, cooking classes, puppet shows, pottery classes, trips to Veraval fish market, cycling, village wedding experiences, nature walks, vintage car rides, and lion safaris are some of the activities offered here. Diu, Junagadh and Somnath are all a short drive away.
Members of the local community are hired for mud wall art depicting elements from the ways of life of the Maldhari and Siddi tribes, with block- printing table cloths and furniture-making out of woven rope all of which add to the authenticity of the property. Local art and culture are promoted through pottery classes, puppet shows, and artefacts used to decorate the resort.
