Woods at Sasan

Services

  • Content Production

Numbers are known to condense larger stories to their actual impact and so is the case with Woods at Sasan. 40% of manpower employs locals, 90% of all materials exclude plastic, and the CO2 content in the air here is 1/3rd of what we generally breathe—this 8-acre estate finds its peace within nature’s very own home. Wellness retreats, tribal dance performances, safari lunches, farm explorations, rail safaris, village expeditions, and conversations with islands—tourism in Gujarat takes inspiration from this property.

Architecture

The inculcation of eco-conscious construction materials and independent accommodation units gives Woods at Sasan an architectural alchemy that lets guests connect with the heartstrings of nature.

Each style is chosen with precision to reduce the environmental impact—local stones from the Saurashtra region, bamboo-based items, and rustic wood panels—promoting biophilic design principles that shine through.

Layouts here are an ode to the forest’s elegance, where privacy is a privilege and every suite an island of serenity.

The independent housing options are sprinkled with lush mango orchards and a forest backdrop, sparking a non-verbal dialogue with nature. Moreover, Woods at Sasan’s spatial design resembles minimalism despite each element serving a dual purpose of functionality and aesthetic grace.

The space’s architectural versatility makes it suitable for romantic getaways, social indoor and outdoor gatherings, orchard feasts, and alfresco poolside get-togethers.

Interior Design

A thoughtful selection to employ natural materials like brass, terracotta, and lime plasters creates a cocoon of warmth at Woods at Sasan. The very joys of luxury are explored in a dance where tradition meets modern functionality. Hand-dyed khadi lines grace the décor, infusing each suite with a tone of traditional artistry.

Guests can choose from four types of stay categories—Woods Studios, Pavilions, Villas, and Studios with terraces. Rooms with stone walls and writing desks expand into the outdoors, displaying dramatic shapes and forms of nature’s wonders.

The touch of craftsmanship adds a rich layer of texture and visual interest, creating canvases honouring the past and present. Furthermore, panoramic, floor-to-ceiling windows and doors, coupled with furniture assembled through recuperated wood, decorate this property with a luxurious touch.

While each room has a deck, the Pavilions offer a two-tiered stay with a private porch peeping into your very own garden.

Not to forget, the private plunge pools and open-air showers make the offerings at Woods at Sasan all the more exciting.

Food & Drinks

Woods at Sasan follows the ideology of relishing meals with all your senses—vision, smell, sound, taste, and touch. The four restaurants, Terracotta, Swadesh, Alfresco, and Mango Bar, tickle all these senses with colourful organic produce, brass crockery, aromatic curries, and an abundance of textures.

Whether you prefer home-styled palettes or meals with international twists and wood-fired preparations, the season-dependent menus present strictly locally produced foods. Request a peep into their kitchens; you’ll be surprised by their innovative experiments with preserves, pickles, and jams.

Visit Alfresco to taste international dishes like antipasti and juicy sandwiches. Next, move to Swadesh, translating to my homeland, to taste revived traditional recipes from the local cuisines of Gir. Overall, the variations in cooking styles also include low-heat ovens or luau pits—both of which protect the original nutritional content of the ingredients.

Most travellers spend their rejuvenation sessions at our Mango Bar perched beneath an old mango tree. Here, you’re treated to light dishes and mango-powered delicacies by the poolside.

Lastly, request the culinary staff at Woods at Sasan for Sattvic meals or plant-based cuisines. Combine this with holistic wellness therapies like Vanaushadhi, and you may just extend your stay by a fortnight.
