Tipai Wildlife Luxury Resort, Maharashtra

Escape to a realm where untamed wilderness meets unparalleled luxury at the new Tipai Wildlife Luxury Resort, located on the fringes of Maharashtra's lesser-known Tipeshwar Wildlife Sanctuary.

Far from the well-trodden safari paths, Tipai offers a truly exclusive and intimate encounter with nature, redefining the essence of wilderness safari. Spanning 34 acres of meticulously reforested land, Tipai is a testament to sustainable opulence. The resort's design, spearheaded by co-founder Keyur Joshi, seamlessly blends with the natural landscape, utilizing reimagined earth construction, local stone masonry, and terracotta roofs.

Each of the 11 Forest Villas and 4 private Pool Residences is a masterpiece of eco-conscious architecture, offering expansive living spaces, open-to-sky showers, and private plunge pools that invite the outside, indoors. Wake to the gentle gush of a seasonal stream or the distant call of the wild, all from the comfort of your exquisitely designed sanctuary.

At Tipai, the wildlife experience is deeply personal. Expert naturalists guide private safaris into the sanctuary, where the chances of spotting Bengal tigers, leopards, sloth bears, and a myriad of bird species are remarkably high, but more importantly, free from the crowds of more popular reserves nearby.  Beyond game drives, guests can embark on guided nature walks, indulge in early morning birdwatching, and partake in captivating stargazing sessions under pollution-free skies.

The culinary journey at Tipai is a celebration of local flavours and sustainable practices. With a farm-to-fork philosophy, the resort’s restaurants, including the acclaimed Palaash, offer a diverse menu crafted from organic produce grown on-site or sourced from neighbouring villages. Indulge in bespoke dining experiences, from intimate picnics under teak trees to degustation seven course dinners that tantalize the senses, thanks to the innovations of Chef Amninder Sandhu & her female led team.

Complementing the adventure, experience true wellness in the wild at the Aaste spa conceived in collaboration with Tattva, among Indians’ leading spa operators.  Experience rejuvenating treatments, with an extensive menu of therapies that all draw on the ancient Indian, Ayurvedic traditions.

Tipai Wildlife Luxury Resort is more than a destination; it’s an immersive, soulful retreat for the discerning traveller seeking both wild encounters and refined indulgence.

To reach the wildlife lodge you can combine it as part of a wilder tour with Tadoba & Pench National parks, or reach it directly from Nagpur Aiport approximately three and a half hours drive away.
