Breathing Earth Emerges as a Premier Luxury Retreat Just Out
Earth Breathing, a resort in nature's lap in South 24 Parganas, is fast emerging as one of the Best Luxury Resorts around Kolkata. Located about 1.5 hours' driving distance from the city, the resort presents an effortless blend of rural simplicity and contemporary hospitality that makes it a perfect retreat for city dwellers looking to relax and rejuvenate.
Spanning a landscaped estate lined with swaying palm trees and a central pond, Breathing Earth provides visitors with a bespoke stay experience through its range of accommodations. These range from traditional-style cottages to pool- and lawn-facing rooms, as well as the signature Durga Bari suites. Each of the units comes equipped with contemporary amenities and is surrounded by artistic and cultural motifs that capture the spirit of Bengal's heritage.
The resort is meant to accommodate relaxation and recreation at the same time. Some of the facilities include a swimming pool, a jacuzzi zone, and adventure-sport-based activities like ziplining, rope courses, and boating. There is also a kids' playground and art-related activities, such as pottery making.
To add to its individuality, all murals and paintings in the resort are original works by Podder and his team. Handmade ceramic pieces, also produced on-site in the pottery studio, can be bought on the premises. Breathing Earth is also perfect for corporate events, weddings, and intimate parties. It has a 30-seater multi-cuisine restaurant, conference-compatible spaces, and several open lawns, making it a versatile destination for a range of functions.
According to owner Gautam Purkayastha, “The land was originally acquired by my father, late Dr. Mrinal Kanti Purkayastha, for fishing and community visits. His vision of healing and simplicity has inspired us to build a destination that feels rooted yet refined. Our goal was to create a space that offers the ambiance of a mud house with the service standards of a modern resort.”
With its location close to the city and immersive experience, Breathing Earth is redefining regional tourism. It keeps drawing families, couples, and corporate groups, cementing its status as the Best Luxury Resort in and around Kolkata for individuals looking for a meaningful and unforgettable retreat.
