Woods at Sasan is a biophilic retreat in Sasan, Gujarat, near Gir National Park, designed to offer an immersive experience of the region’s forest, wildlife, and local traditions. Its studios, pavilions, and villas sit beneath a mango orchard, where 280 existing trees were preserved during construction. The architecture uses regional and reclaimed materials, including Bela and Dhangadhra stone, lime plaster, reclaimed teak, khadi, bamboo, and terracotta.

The retreat combines mindful stays with regenerative hospitality and wellbeing experiences. Guests can explore Gir through safaris, forest walks, river outings, and activities led by naturalists, or spend a day planting and learning about the estate’s farm. Other experiences include visits to Jamzir Falls and Somnath, and chai shared with Maldhari herding families.

Woods also offers dining that features local flavours, including Kathiawadi thali and meals made with produce from its farm. Its wellbeing offering includes SOM Kesar Meditation, an activity connected to a tree-monitoring research project. The Michelin Guide has awarded Woods at Sasan one Key
