Woods At Sasan Pioneers The ‘Biophilic Bubble’ For A Safe Stay

Mumbai, 31st January 2022: As the pandemic shows signs of ebbing, people are once again looking forward to planning their travels and explorations. After almost two years of being indoors, an emerging travel aspiration is a yearning to connect with nature and enjoy a holiday in the open - this innate desire humans have to interact with the natural world is a phenomenon called biophilia.

Woods at Sasan, a biophilic retreat in the Sasan Gir forest resort, understands that travellers today aspire for more meaningful experiences, a healthful dose of nature, and to soak up the culture and environment of their chosen destination. At this jewel of modern design in a remote location, the spaces and structures are designed to bring about interaction with nature through all five senses – the semi-open rooms blur the divide between inside and outside, and the unfiltered scents, sounds, touch (and taste!) of the lush environment offer a multi-sensory natural immersion.

This secluded forest retreat is an ideal escape from the noise and commotion of the city. In their continuing endeavour to offer an experience of unmatched tranquillity backed by a care for the safety and well-being of their guests, they have introduced a ‘Biophilic Bubble’ – a green space where all hygiene requirements and precautionary measures mandated by the WHO, as well as current government and tourism industry recommendations are followed. Woods at Sasan has worked with Equinox labs, an FSSAI approved NABL accredited organisation and is now certified as a ‘Safe Place to Stay’ based on MHA guidelines and FSSAI regulations.

Says Maulik Bhagat, Founder, Woods at Sasan and 1000 Island Hotels & Resorts, “The biophilic bubble is an important step in preparation for Woods at Sasan to welcome guests with confidence, and reinforces the already rigorous hygiene and safety protocols that the retreat has always followed. We are committed to delivering therapeutic and sustainable experiences, and we hope our beautiful surroundings allow guests the opportunity to reconnect with themselves and also create some unforgettable memories.”
