The Gir Forest National Park in western India spans over 1400 square kilometres and is one of the largest tracts of unbroken wilderness in India. Created to protect the habitat of the world’s only remaining Asiatic lion population, the park has seen lion numbers increase from just 200 to over 500 individuals in recent years, while its other endangered inhabitants have naturally flourished alongside them.

The stylish studio rooms, boutique pavilions and the exclusive villa each feature an outdoor living space in which guests can dine privately at any time of day. Individual touches abound, with furniture created by local artisans from teak recovered Alang shipyard.
