Woods At Sasan is a luxury eco-boutique resort and spa nestled amidst an 8-acre mango orchard. This is the first luxury resort in Sasan Gir that combines luxury with sustainability.
Woods at Sasan ‘grew’ out of a belief in a sustainable and meaningful ecosystem of hospitality. It draws upon the natural terrain and local culture to shape its philosophies with regard to its architecture, the environment and the spirit of hosting.
The resort is built in and around an 8-acre mango orchard with over 280 trees that yield a sizable mango crop in the summertime, and attract a variety of insects, birds and wildlife. An oasis of quiet, lush greenery that merges into the forests of Gir, the 38-key property is a serene blend of contemporary spaces and culture-inspired interiors that merge into the landscape. With spaces designed for clear, natural lighting and an uninterrupted view of the orchard or the forest, one may enjoy living within nature with all the conveniences that the heart desires.

Built on a private mango orchard, Woods At Sasan is located some 60 km from the ancient Portuguese settlement of Diu and 400 km from the state capital of Gandhinagar, Gujarat.

We believe that the best kind of host is one that learns with their heart, not from the books.
Our aim is to offer tailor-made experiences with soul by providing warm, friendly service and showcasing the best of regional cultures by working with – and from within – the local community. We’re young, we’re fresh and we like to do things differently.
Collaborating with a host of international consultants, the 1000 Island design team was inspired by the local soul of the Gujarat region and the best of international trends from the world of hospitality and design. Recognizing the importance of working closely with the local community, we teamed up with local artisans to source hand-made designs constructed with local and sustainable materials.
