This is a very special place being the world's only Asiatic lion sanctuary.
Rumbling along in an open-air jeep on a game drive twice a day is just part of the hotel’s magic. You can also go on guided jungle walks, picnic in the bush, or visit the local Maldhari homes.

A New Chapter in Indian Safari
Set on the edge of Gujarat’s Sasan Gir National Park, Aramness Gir reimagines the Indian safari through the lens of thoughtful luxury and deep-rooted authenticity. Inspired by the region’s heritage and the surrounding Maldhari villages, the lodge is designed as a harmonious blend of tradition and modern comfort—where every detail reflects a respect for culture, nature, and craft.
Rooted in Culture, Elevated by Design
Drawing its name from aram (peace) and ness (village), Aramness invites you to discover a new kind of retreat—where village-style architecture, artisanal materials, and serene landscapes come together to create a space of deep stillness and connection. Here, luxury is measured not just by aesthetics, but by intention and care.
Crafted Experiences in the Wild
Guests at Aramness Gir can curate their days around the rhythms of nature. Early morning safaris into lion country, guided forest walks among teak trees, intimate encounters with local families, or quiet afternoons spent savoring traditional Gujarati cuisine. Whether you’re drawn to the wild or the warmth of village life, each experience is designed to leave a lasting impression.
A Mission of Meaningful Change
Beyond comfort, Aramness stands as a guardian of the land it occupies. By supporting local communities and playing a role in the conservation of the endangered Asiatic lion, the lodge embodies a commitment to sustainability that runs as deep as its hospitality.
