The Rise of Staycations

In recent years, the idea of travel has undergone a significant transformation. People are no longer seeking just long holidays that involve exhausting journeys, multiple destinations, and hurried itineraries. Instead, many are embracing the art of slowing down and rediscovering leisure closer to home — the concept of a staycation.

A staycation is more than just a short break; it is about finding luxury, relaxation, and experiences within a single destination. For urban dwellers in Delhi, NCR, and North India, Saraca Resort & Spa, Corbett has emerged as one of the most sought-after staycation escapes. Nestled amidst the lush wilderness of Jim Corbett National Park, the resort offers a perfect blend of serenity, indulgence, and adventure.

Why Choose Saraca Corbett for Your Staycation?

Located just 5–6 hours’ drive from Delhi NCR, Saraca Corbett offers the ideal weekend or extended break without the hassle of long flights or exhaustive travel planning. Its location in Bhakrakot, Almora district, positions it right beside the famous Corbett Tiger Reserve, making it both accessible and exclusive.

Unlike conventional city hotels, Saraca Corbett is spread across nine acres of landscaped beauty, dotted with 44 rooms and suites that blend into the forested surroundings. Guests enjoy the luxury of spacious terraces, private sit-outs, and uninterrupted views of jungles, mountains, and open skies.
