A LEGACY OF A CENTURY THE STORY OF SAANAIRA

"Saanaira Resort & Spa stands among the most distinguished beachfront retreats upon the shores of Gopalpur-on-Sea, in the ancient Ganjam District of Odisha, Eastern India. This venerable establishment, formerly known as The Blue Haven Resort, was founded in 1919 to extend its hospitality to the merchants and traders who conducted their affairs through the celebrated Gopalpur Port. It was likewise renowned in those illustrious days for the splendid evening gatherings that drew the most eminent personages of the Eastern Coast. The property, having passed through distinguished hands over the decades, now bears the name Saanaira Resort & Spa — a worthy custodian of a century of grace."
