A Colourful Holi in the Wild: Celebrate the Festival of Spring at Saraca Corbett

Holi has always been about renewal. About colour returning to life, about laughter replacing routine, about togetherness that feels effortless. While most celebrations happen in crowded cities and familiar spaces, there is something deeply special about celebrating Holi where nature itself is in transition.

At the edge of the forest, as winter fades and spring arrives, Saraca Resort and Spa Corbett offers a Holi celebration that feels calmer, richer, and more meaningful. Here, colours meet the wild, traditions unfold under open skies, and the festival becomes an experience rather than an event.

March in Corbett is a season of balance. The air is pleasant, the forest begins to open up, and the surroundings feel alive without being overwhelming. It is the perfect time to celebrate Holi slowly, consciously, and beautifully.

Celebrating Holi at Saraca Corbett is not about loud chaos. It is about colour with context. Imagine waking up to birdsong instead of traffic, stepping out into lush greenery, and celebrating the festival surrounded by trees, mountains, and open skies. The setting itself transforms the mood of the celebration.

The resort’s expansive natural layout allows guests to celebrate freely without feeling crowded. Whether it is a gentle splash of colours on the lawns, laughter shared with family and friends, or simply soaking in the festive energy with nature all around, Holi here feels personal and refreshing.

Saraca Corbett’s thoughtfully designed rooms and suites make the experience even more comfortable. After a day of celebration, you return to spacious interiors, private terraces, and calming views of gardens, forests, and mountains. Premium Rooms offer sit outs that let you enjoy the post-Holi calm, while Premium Suites provide the perfect space to unwind with warm baths and quiet evenings. Families celebrating together find comfort in the Two Bedroom Family Suites, and those seeking privacy and indulgence gravitate towards the Sanctuary Suite with its plunge pool and jungle views.

Food plays an essential role in every Holi celebration, and at Saraca Corbett, dining becomes part of the festive storytelling. The flavours are rooted, thoughtful, and celebratory without being excessive.

At Azrak, traditional influences from Kumaon, Garhwal, and Awadh come together in slow-cooked, soulful dishes prepared using time-honoured techniques. These meals feel grounding, especially after a morning of colours and laughter. Asian Table adds a touch of elegance to the evening, with crafted beverages and a serene atmosphere under starlit skies. The Pool Bar offers a relaxed setting for festive conversations, refreshing drinks, and unhurried moments with loved ones.

Beyond restaurants, Saraca’s experiential dining elevates the Holi celebration further. A Jungle Table dinner under fairy lights, a poolside evening glowing with soft candlelight, or a relaxed open-air lunch near the jungle gate makes the festival feel immersive and memorable. These are the moments guests remember long after the colours fade.

For those who like to balance celebration with restoration, Olive Wellness Spa offers the perfect counterpoint to the festive energy. After playing with colours and spending time outdoors, spa rituals help restore calm and balance. Surrounded by forest serenity, the spa treatments allow you to truly unwind and reconnect with yourself.

Holi at Saraca Corbett is also ideal for families. Children have open spaces to play freely, parents enjoy the comfort of secure and spacious surroundings, and everyone gets to experience the festival together without the usual stress of travel and crowd management. The resort’s pet-friendly nature means even furry companions can be part of the getaway, making the celebration complete for the entire family.

Couples find a different kind of romance during Holi in the wild. Sharing colours under open skies, enjoying quiet moments on private balconies, indulging in spa rituals, and ending the day with intimate dining experiences creates a celebration that feels both joyful and deeply personal.

What truly sets Holi at Saraca Corbett apart is the way the festival blends into the landscape. The forest becomes a silent witness to laughter and colour. The air feels lighter. The pace slows down. And the celebration feels less performative and more heartfelt.

As spring arrives, the forest transitions, and so do you. Celebrating Holi here is about welcoming change gently, celebrating life consciously, and stepping into the new season with calm joy rather than exhaustion.

If you are looking to experience Holi differently this year, away from noise and crowds, surrounded by nature yet wrapped in luxury, Saraca Corbett offers a celebration that stays with you long after the colours are washed away.

Because some festivals are best celebrated not louder, but deeper.
