Sayaji Hotels marks its arrival in Sasan Gir with The Forest Chapter by Sayaji

Expanding its footprint in experiential hospitality, Sayaji Hotels proudly announces the launch of The Forest Chapter (TFC) by Sayaji, Sasan Gir – a boutique retreat nestled in the heart of Gujarat’s wilderness. Designed as an immersive nature-led forest staycation, this resort in Sasan Gir marks the debut of Sayaji’s new sub-brand, The Forest Chapter, dedicated to curated stays in India’s most pristine landscapes.

Located near the famed Gir National Park, this is the best resort in Sasan Gir, inviting guests to slow down and reconnect with nature through thoughtfully designed spaces and intuitive hospitality. Enhancing this connection further, the property offers locally immersive experiences, allowing guests to engage meaningfully with the region’s rich biodiversity, culture, and natural surroundings.

This resort in Sasan Gir features 25 well-appointed cottages and villas, including Premium Cottages, Superior Cottages, and Suite Villas, each crafted to blend rustic charm with modern comfort. Spacious interiors, earthy aesthetics, and serene surroundings create a tranquil forest staycation for travellers seeking both relaxation and exploration.

Culinary experiences at the retreat are equally immersive, with Ember & Leaf offering a multi-cuisine experience inspired by local flavours and global techniques, alongside a rooftop café concept that allows guests to dine under the open skies. Beyond accommodation, this is a resort in Sasan Gir that features curated outdoor spaces, including a landscaped lawn ideal for intimate gatherings, celebrations, and bespoke events.

Speaking on the launch, Rajendra Joshi, Associate General Manager, Sayaji Hotels, said,
“With the introduction of The Forest Chapter, we are proud to unveil a new hospitality vertical that reflects the evolving preferences of today’s traveller – one that seeks deeper connections with nature, authenticity, and immersive experiences like jungle safari. This launch marks a significant milestone for Sayaji Hotels as we expand beyond our established portfolio into thoughtfully curated, destination-led retreats. Sasan Gir, with its rich biodiversity and untamed beauty, is the perfect beginning to this journey.”

Adding to this, Manish Boghra, Managing Director, The Forest Chapter by Sayaji, Sasan Gir, said,  “It is an honour to bring The Forest Chapter to Sasan Gir, a destination that holds immense natural and cultural significance. Our vision was to create a retreat that not only complements its surroundings but also elevates the overall hospitality offering in the region. With Sasan Gir offering year-round safari experiences, unlike many wildlife destinations that remain closed during the monsoon, guests have the unique opportunity to explore the wilderness across seasons. We believe this property will offer a distinctive blend of comfort, authenticity, and meaningful experiences like jungle safari, setting a new benchmark for nature-led stays in the region.”

Strategically located with access to Rajkot International Airport and Junagadh Railway Station, the retreat offers both accessibility and seclusion, making it an ideal getaway for urban travellers. With this launch, Sayaji Hotels continues to evolve its portfolio, blending its legacy of warm hospitality with new-age experiential travel offerings. The Forest Chapter is envisioned as a growing collection of retreats across India’s most captivating natural destinations.
