This meticulously designed resort is set on 50 acres of wild land that’s being thoughtfully landscaped to be a paradise. It’s probably the first of its kind in the region, going by the sheer size and growing expansion that aims to introduce the concept of experiential hospitality. “Noune,” in Angami dialect means tranquil and serene. And true to its name, Noune Resort transports guests to another world -- midst greenery and a calm pastoral setting with a still water body surrounding the property. Promoted by Naithu Group of Hotel and Resorts, an established Naga chain of hospitality, there are four cottages, and each cottage is an independent unit that can accommodate a family, or a group of friends. The resort is currently on an expansion mode and about 7-8 new cottages are underway to make more rooms for travellers. Floating restaurant in the middle of the lake are some of the new elements that will be added in times to come.

Once here, be rest assured of efficient service that exudes a warm spirit of Naga hospitality at its best. Modern amenities in sync with any good hotels around the world add to your comfort. The location is the USP – it rests among the Patkai mountain ranges of the Naga Hills and overlooks a serene lake. Noune Resort is an ideal destination for de-stressing and rejuvenating stay, supplemented with exciting leisure activities. Go boating, water zorbing and tracking to the surrounding jungle. It sure is a getaway that’s not so far away from the busy commercial hub.

ROOMS

Neatly done-up rooms with plenty of wood work that spell warmth and comfort awaits weary travellers. Cottages come with private balconies and sit-out area for morning cuppa and in the evenings do watch sun set sipping your drink. Wake up to the sight of wild geese floating gracefully across the water. All the rooms open up to a manicured lawn where children can run and play around. Comfort is guaranteed with rooms well appointed and equipped with all basic amenities like televisions, intercoms and coffee makers.

DINING

The in-house restaurant is where guests can kick back and enjoy sumptuous Naga fare. Naga thali with the signature pork/fish/chicken cooked with or without bamboo shoot and a selection of greens and paired with rice, is a typical comfort food that anyone would vouch for. A sprinkling of Indian and Chinese also feature in the menu for those looking for familiar flavours. The restaurant is within the grounds, as well as, a morung (meeting-place in Naga traditional culture) can be accessed to get a taste of the local cuisine - in addition to the continental fare. At the Noune Resort, a promising endeavour still in a fledgling state, a few new projects have already been initiated. This includes the construction of a lounge area that will be catering delicacies from around the world.

EXPERIENCES

A dreamy location in the midst of nature allows visitors to enjoy long nature walks and cycling rounds (available for rent) and even offsite meetings for corporates. Make use of the many lake-related activities offered by the hotel at an additional price. Like any resort, it’s all about the daytime activities. Noune Resort offers fishing, garden games for kids, angling, boating, and roof top deck for private parties, Children Park, and water zorbing. Grab your picnic basket and pitch yourself under those picnic huts and call it a day. And when you want to take it easy, unwind under the cool shades of leafy rubber trees overlooking the lake.

Travel and hospitality - dynamic as it is - is increasingly taking a fondness for home stays, with more and more travelers developing nostalgia for home and authentic experiences. While the Niathu Group of Hotels and Resorts boasts of luxurious accommodations that strive to offer world-class hotels, the line of Naithu Villas imitate the suburban homes of Nagaland throwing in experiences that is as local as it can get - without compromising on the signature standard of comfort enforced by Niathu Group. Naithu Villa is located in Sovima Village, habited by lively Naga families who go about their daily life tending their jhum fields, cattles and leading a laidback yet a bustling life. Over 3220 people call it home and the village is well connected with the nearest railway station, Rangapahar, roughly 6.2 kilometer away. The nearest airport is Dimapur Airport, which is slightly less than 9 kms away. So the location of the villa is well chosen to be accessible for travelers yet with a serene setting. Blue sky and greenery lent a perfect backdrop to the villa.

ROOMS

Largely targeted at visitors who are travelling in large groups or, with their families - each homestead can accommodate up to 12 people. Each unit is well furnished and includes a private courtyard, 4 bedrooms, kitchen, dining and living room. Ample space for car parking and plenty space for outdoor activities.
Price available on request.

EXPERIENCES

The villa, located in the residential area of Sovima, a reasonably large village, is a short walk away from a playing area for children. Quiet and away from the bustling noise of Dimapur which is more or less a busy trade hub, the villa is a getaway even for locals. One can either head out to get a glimpse of the village life or just stay back and enjoy some of the in-house services like spa, gym and swimming pool.
