A slow New Year’s Day
The biggest night of the year, without the city
A New Year’s Eve gala with a DJ, live performers and a dance floor on the lawn, a bonfire to keep warm by, and a midnight countdown with the Corbett forest as the backdrop. Then a slow, late brunch on the first day of the year.
A New Year’s Eve in a city club means a cover charge, a crowd and a cab queue at 1 a.m. At Saalora the party is on the lawn, the bonfire is lit, dinner runs late and your room is a short walk away.
Expect a DJ and live entertainment, a gala dinner with live counters, a bonfire for the cold, games for the children and a countdown to midnight. The resort sits beside a protected forest, so we keep it to lights and music — no firecrackers — and the stars do the rest.

Is the gala dinner and party included?
Yes, for every registered in-house guest on the package. Alcohol is not included in the package price.
Will there be fireworks?
No. The resort shares a boundary with the Dhela Wildlife Zone of the Jim Corbett Tiger Reserve, so we celebrate with lights and music and leave the sky to the stars.
Is it suitable for families?
Very. There is a kids’ zone during the party, and families with young children can take an early dinner and still catch the countdown.
