NEW HOTELS

Easy indulgences

GINGER SANAND,

Sanand, Gujarat

If the millennial lifestyle is all about moving forward,

Ginger’s new lean luxe hotel, based on the

philosophy of seamlessness, fits it perfectly. Located

35km from Ahmedabad’s Sardar Vallabhbhai

Patel International Airport, it’s also at a convenient

distance from the most popular attractions in the

city. There’s no stark difference between work and

play at Ginger Sanand; the lively, vibrant and

quirky decor blurs the line between the two with

comfortable ease. The Café Et Cetera all-day diner

serves an increasingly popular cuisine – Japanese

• along with other comfort food, while doubling up
  as a chilled-out workspace. The 104 rooms come
  with cool decor, and offer complimentary wi-fi
  and gym access.

PULLMAN NADI BAY RESORT & SPA

Wailoaloa Beach, Fiji

Whether your idea of a vacation is a quiet stroll

on the beach or headbanging at night-outs,

Ten minutes from both Nadi International Airport

and Port Denarau’s entertainment precinct, it offers

access to both, unexplored stretches of shore and

spots buzzing with local entertainment. Soak in the

sea breeze on the patio of one of the 236 rooms,

or head over to one of the four signature restaurants

and three bars. The exclusive adults-only bar, Kah,

offers lavish meals with a side of gorgeous sunsets;

the young ones can chill out in The Kids Club or

the Teens Retreat. The beachfront water-sports centre

has adventure in store, after which relaxation awaits

at the Veikau spa.
