The Palm Lawn at Anando Palms Resort is an open-air event lawn set within a resort property in Saputara, Gujarat's only hill station. The space is defined by its natural, green surroundings — a refreshing contrast to the enclosed banquet halls typical of urban venues. The open setting allows event planners to work with natural light and fresh mountain air, creating an atmosphere that feels both relaxed and celebratory. The lawn's outdoor character makes it particularly well-suited to daytime and evening gatherings where guests can appreciate the scenic environment that Saputara is known for.
The Palm Lawn is a versatile space that lends itself to a wide range of events. Weddings and wedding-related ceremonies — from mehendi and sangeet evenings to the main wedding function — are a natural fit here, where the open-air setting adds a scenic backdrop that indoor venues simply cannot replicate. The space is equally well-suited for corporate retreats, team-building outings, anniversary celebrations, and milestone birthday gatherings, especially for groups travelling from cities such as Surat, Nashik, or Ahmedabad looking for an off-site venue in a hill destination. Families and corporate groups seeking a full resort experience — combining event space with leisure and accommodation on the same property — will find the Palm Lawn a convenient and appealing choice.
Saputara sits in the Dang district of Gujarat, positioned in the Sahyadri mountain range at an elevation that gives it a cooler, more temperate climate than the surrounding lowlands — an advantage for events planned during Gujarat's warmer months. The town is reachable by road from Surat (approximately 165 km), Nashik (approximately 80 km), and Ahmedabad (approximately 400 km), making it accessible for guests travelling from major cities across Gujarat and neighbouring Maharashtra. Anando Palms Resort is located within or near the Saputara township, placing guests close to Saputara Lake, the local market, and the natural viewpoints the hill station is celebrated for. For event planners, this means guests enjoy a built-in destination experience — the venue itself is the journey, not just the setting.
