Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Puneet Chhatwal, Managing Director & CEO, IHCL, said, “By introducing iconic locations like Puri to the global luxury stage, we honour India’s rich heritage while pioneering new markets. Going beyond our multi-brand presence in the state’s capital, IHCL is extending its footprint to its prominent cultural and leisure destination.
He added, “Offering a spiritual circuit on the east coast of India, from Chennai, Tirupati, Bhubaneshwar to now Puri, this new opening will unlock the tourism potential of the region.”
Just steps away from the iconic Puri Beach, the 90-room Taj Puri Resort & Spa presents breathtaking ocean vistas and tranquil, manicured gardens. Drawing inspiration from the region’s rich Kalinga architectural heritage, the resort’s interiors feature exquisite Khondalite and laterite stonework, enhanced by intricate Pattachitra artwork, vibrant Ikat textiles, and terracotta details, creating an atmosphere of refined charm.
Culinary enthusiasts can indulge at Vista, the resort’s all-day dining venue; Jaatra, a specialty restaurant blending Odia, Indonesian, and Southeast Asian flavors; and Jaatra Bar, where classic and contemporary cocktails are served with sweeping views of the Bay of Bengal. For grand celebrations and events, the expansive 14,000-square-foot lawn is perfect for weddings and large gatherings, complemented by versatile indoor banquet spaces. Guests can unwind with traditional therapies at the J Wellness Circle or stay active in the modern fitness center, offering a holistic retreat for mind and body.
Mr. Ankit Tandon, General Manager, Taj Puri Resort & Spa, Odisha, said “We are delighted to welcome guests to Taj Puri Resort & Spa and invite them to experience the warmth of Odia hospitality. Our team is committed to providing exceptional service and creating unforgettable memories for every guest.”
Puri, renowned for the sacred Jagannath Temple, stands as one of the revered Char Dham pilgrimage sites, drawing countless devotees every year. While its spiritual allure is undeniable, Puri also captivates visitors with its pristine golden beaches, vibrant celebrations like the Rath Yatra, and exquisite traditional arts such as Pattachitra painting.
