Why We Are Named The Sarai Resort
The Sarai Resort draws its name from the ancient tradition of “Sarai” — resting places built along trade routes where travelers found shelter, comfort, and rejuvenation. These Sarais were more than just inns; they were havens of peace, offering weary travelers a place to pause, refresh, and regain their energy for the journey ahead.
At The Sarai Resort, we carry forward this legacy by creating a sanctuary where guests can escape the bustle of daily life and immerse themselves in tranquility. Our elegantly designed rooms, scenic surroundings, and modern amenities are thoughtfully crafted to provide comfort and relaxation, echoing the warmth and hospitality of historical Sarais.
The Sarai Tree, a symbol of shade and shelter, inspires our philosophy. Just as travelers of the past rested beneath its branches, our guests experience calm, serenity, and a deep connection with nature.
By choosing the name The Sarai Resort, we honor the tradition of offering peace, care, and rejuvenation to every visitor. Here, every stay is more than just a visit — it is an experience of comfort, harmony, and timeless hospitality that reflects the true spirit of a Sarai.
