From Pugal Holidays to Naga Resort – a journey of transformation
What was once known as Pugal Holidays and later Pumo Resort has been reimagined into Naga Resort – a sanctuary where luxury meets the wild beauty of Kodaikanal. We’ve preserved the soul of the original retreat while elevating every detail to offer a world‑class hill station experience.
Our name, "Naga", pays homage to the serpentine mountain streams and the mystical energy of the Western Ghats. Every stay is designed to reconnect you with nature, without compromising on modern comforts.
We build around trees, not over them. Our architecture blends with the landscape, and every window frames a piece of Kodaikanal’s magic.
Soft linens, curated amenities, and personalised service – luxury that feels warm, never ostentatious.
We collaborate with local artisans, source regional produce, and celebrate Tamil hospitality in every interaction.
Opened as a cosy family-run guesthouse, welcoming travellers to Kodaikanal’s pristine hills.
Expanded into a full‑service resort, adding cottages and a restaurant with valley views.
A complete transformation – luxury redesign, eco‑initiatives, and a renewed promise of serenity.
