Our Story
A Welcoming Heaven for All Kinds of Travellers & Nature Lovers
In 2009, the story of Saavaj Resort began with a noble motive — to extend warm hospitality to a diverse range of visitors while simultaneously fostering employment opportunities for the local community. True to its name, inspired by the local term for lion, "Saavaj," the resort embodies strength, grace and a commitment to nature. Nestled over 7 acres in the heart of the jungle, Saavaj Resort offers a unique retreat with panoramic views of the meandering river and the charming narrow gauge rail passing by. Our journey is woven into the fabric of sustainability, reflecting our deep concern for the environment. At Saavaj, every aspect is designed to harmonize with nature, creating a haven where guests can connect with the serene beauty that surrounds us. This is not just a resort; it's a story of passion, community, and a commitment to preserving the essence of our remarkable surroundings.

History of Saavaj Resort
As the people in the Sasan Gir region live in complete harmony with the 'Saavaj' and lion sightings are a daily affair for them, our resort conceptualises this beautiful ecosystem and lets the guests experience its essence when they visit Sasan Gir. For a decade, we continued to bring a natural experience for our guests to immerse in serene surroundings and experience the magic of nature in the truest sense. 'Saavaj Resort' is the only resort in the Sasan Gir area to offer a complete package to travellers - whether you are a nature lover or a luxury lover, we have the perfect blend for you. To enhance the experience during your stay with us, we offer various Indigenous experiences which are beginning to be lost with the generation of today. From farm experiences to organic food production, Saavaj lets you experience it all.
Saavaj Resort arranges different cultural performances for its guests without any extra charges. The regional African people, who are said to have migrated to India on orders of the prince of Junagadh still reside in the Sasan Gir area and showcase their cultural dance performances in the resort. It is a great way for entertainment in the evenings where guests can enjoy and interact with local people at the amphitheatre available at the resort.
Saavaj Resort is unique in more than one way. We provide pure groundwater in our pool for our guests to enjoy without chemicals. The design of the pool allows it to refill from groundwater and it is drained every night into our farms for irrigation, making it an eco-friendly system. The resort team ensures zero waste in terms of water and refrains from using heavy chemicals in the pool water.

As a humanitarian policy, Saavaj Resort does not charge anything for every girl child staying at the property. The idea of offering free stays to all girls below 18 years, is a step towards eliminating the taboo associated with daughters. Saavaj Resort wants to encourage families to celebrate their daughters and see them as a point of pride.
