Pet-friendly
Located in the mangrove maze of Sundarban, our hotel offers the perfect base to explore the Sundarban Tiger Reserve, the world’s largest mangrove forest and a renowned wildlife sanctuary, along with nearby waterways and dense mangroves. Surrounded by tranquil water bodies and the quiet rhythm of nature, the property is thoughtfully designed to ensure a safe and comfortable stay for families, making it just as welcoming for children as it is for adults. It is also a pet-friendly retreat, so your furry companions can be part of the experience. As the day unfolds, you might find yourself spotting vibrant birdlife in the mangroves or, as evening sets in, gazing up at a sky filled with stars far removed from city lights.
Our well-appointed accommodations provide the ultimate comfort, ensuring a restful stay after a day of exploration. You don’t even have to step out to satisfy your cravings; our in-house restaurants, cafe, and bar serve a wide range of dishes and beverages for every palate. For business or special occasions, the fully equipped conference hall offers a seamless venue for meetings and events. Guests can also rejuvenate at the spa, enjoy a refreshing dip in the outdoor pool, and take advantage of modern facilities, making every stay effortless and memorable. At our hotel, every stay feels like a front-row seat to nature’s grandest show.

In and Around Sundarban
Sajnekhali Watch Tower
Within the premises, you’ll find a temple dedicated to Bono Bibi alongside a park inhabited by crocodiles. A freshwater pond draws animals to drink, while a watchtower with clear observation lines offers sweeping views of the forest below. The area is also a delight for bird-watchers, with a variety of avian species frequently spotted, along with common sightings of deer and water monitor lizards.
Sudhanyakhali Watch Tower
The Sudhanyakhali Canal leads to the Sudhanyakhali Watch Tower, one of the area’s key attractions for visitors. Overlooking a freshwater pond created by the forest department, the watchtower offers a clear vantage point to observe wildlife and take in the surrounding natural scenery.
Dobanki Watch Tower
The main highlights include an accessible lookout tower and a canopy walk through the forest. From here, visitors can observe local wildlife from a safe distance thanks to the clear viewing lines. A freshwater pond in the area attracts a variety of animals, so tigers are not the only species frequently spotted. To reach this lookout tower, visitors must sail through Matla to the Sea Face, a viewpoint of the Bay of Bengal and a five-river confluence surrounded by a vast water body.
Netidhopani Watch Tower
The Netidhopani Watch Tower, situated to the left of the main camp’s entrance, overlooks the ruins of a 400-year-old Shiva temple. Set within the national park, it is surrounded by lush trees and tranquil scenery, offering a peaceful vantage point to take in the natural beauty.
Hamilton's Bungalow/Beacon's Bungalow
In Gosaba, you can visit the cottage of Sir Daniel Mackinnon Hamilton, where he established one of the region’s most influential cooperative organisations. The nearby Beacon House was once occupied by Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore, who visited at Sir Hamilton’s invitation. These landmarks together highlight the rich historical significance of the area.
