JAIPUR OCTOBER 2026 :- Ananta Hotels & Resorts is pleased to announce the opening of Ananta Elite, Somnath, a 63-room hotel located about ten minutes’ walk from the Somnath Temple in Gujarat. The property extends the group’s presence along the Saurashtra coast and into one of India’s most revered pilgrimage destinations.
The hotel offers 63 rooms across five categories: 39 Deluxe King Rooms, 5 Deluxe Twin Rooms, 5 Super Deluxe Rooms, 10 Family Rooms and 4 Suites, ranging from 300 to 410 sq. ft., with select rooms offering temple views. Facilities include a multi-cuisine restaurant serving vegetarian food, 24-hour in-room dining, a travel desk for temple visits and local sightseeing, elevator access and ample parking. A 5,000 sq. ft. lawn can host weddings, family functions and social gatherings.
Somnath holds a special place in India’s spiritual geography. The Somnath Temple stands on the shore of the Arabian Sea at Prabhas Patan and is revered as one of the twelve Jyotirlingas, drawing devotees from across the country through the year. The town is also home to the Triveni Sangam, the confluence of the Hiran, Kapila and Saraswati rivers. Gir National Park, the only home of the Asiatic lion, lies within easy reach, as do Diu and the Saurashtra coastline.
Keshod Airport is approximately 55 km from the hotel and Diu Airport approximately 90 km, with strong road connectivity from Rajkot, Junagadh and Ahmedabad.
Speaking on the opening, Mr. Rupam Das, Chief Operating Officer, Ananta Hotels & Resorts (Ananta Global) said:
“Somnath is one of the most significant pilgrimage destinations in the country. Devotees travel here from every part of India, very often as families and across generations. Ananta Elite, Somnath gives them a comfortable, well run stay within walking distance of the temple, with vegetarian dining and a team that understands the rhythm of a pilgrimage. Together with our properties at Gir and Rajkot, it strengthens our presence across Saurashtra and lets guests bring faith, wildlife and the coast into a single journey.”
Ananta Elite, Somnath joins the group’s growing pilgrimage portfolio, alongside Katra, Ujjain, Ajmer and Jaunpur, as Ananta Hotels & Resorts continues to deepen its presence across India’s spiritual, heritage and emerging leisure corridors.
