Profile
Surrounded by deodar and cinnamon oak forests on three sides, most times the only sound you hear is that of the breeze rustling the leaves. Other times it is the rain playing music on the roof or flirting with the thunder. At Woodsmoke, nature has the right of way. The ivy-clad stone buildings yield to the contours of the land while the panoramic views find a frame in the glass bay windows of every room.
Woodsmoke – the soul whisperer on the hill.
Suites
These double rooms have wooden floors and raftered ceilings. The majestic wing chair in the bedroom offers the perfect vantage point to look out over the ridge line or down into the forest.
The front room with its deep chairs and shaggy carpet, overlooks the private lawn and also gives you a ring-side view of the activities happening in the open courtyard.

Deluxe Rooms
These spacious rooms, all aglow with recessed lights and warm woodwork, face the Cinnamon oak forest on the outer edge of the Retreat – an ideal choice for solitude seekers.
Tucked away from the hub, guests can enjoy their quiet time, perhaps a candle-lit dinner, even when sitting out in the lawn. Or one can spend long, meditative hours on the sitting room couch, soaking in the dappled play of sunlight entering through the large picture window.

Your room welcomes you home.
HOSPITALITY WITH A HEART
Warmth is the leitmotif at Woodsmoke when it comes to pampering the palate and the body.
Whether it is a sumptuous feast or an impromptu picnic, an intimate dinner for two or a meditative cup of coffee for one, our 24X7 hospitality never misses a beat.
And if rest and relaxation is what you seek, then choose from any one of the services listed in our spa menu.
SPOILT FOR CHOICE
Woodsmoke is a little world in itself and many of our guests do not even feel the need to leave the property during their entire stay.
Browse our eclectic mix of book titles, play out your moves on a chess board, work up a sweat in our fitness centre, spin a few yarns around the bonfire and if the forest beckons – walk right in for an invigorating dose of pine-scented air.
