Set against the emerald backdrop of the Corbett forest, Myrica Resort, Jim Corbett is a refined wilderness retreat that draws its name from the Myrica esculenta — the wild bay berry tree native to the Kumaoni hills — a fitting symbol for a property that is as deeply rooted in its landscape as any tree in the surrounding forest. From the moment guests arrive, the resort announces itself with a calm and considered character: stone pathways winding through manicured gardens, the sound of water, and the constant presence of the forest beyond.
Myrica Resort has been crafted with a single guiding principle — that luxury and nature need not be in conflict. The architecture respects the contours of the land, rooms are positioned to frame views of the treeline rather than obscure it, and every material used across the resort has been chosen for its warmth, durability, and connection to the natural world. The result is a property that feels at once polished and unhurried — a place where a full day can pass without once feeling the need to look at a clock.
Myrica Resort is ideal for discerning travellers who come to Corbett seeking more than a safari tick-list — guests who want to absorb the forest slowly, from a position of comfort and quiet. Whether you spend your days on jungle jeep safaris, birdwatching along the forest trail, or simply unwinding beside the pool with the treeline stretching away on every side, Myrica offers a stay that stays with you long after you leave.
Myrica Resort is situated on the Corbett Bypass Road — one of the most scenic approach routes into the national park zone — placing guests at the ideal midpoint between Ramnagar town and the park's most sought-after safari zones. The Bijrani Zone, known for its exceptional density of wildlife and consistently high tiger sighting rates, is just minutes from the resort gate. The Dhela and Jhirna zones, which remain open year-round, are also easily accessible, making Myrica an excellent base for guests planning multi-zone safari itineraries.
The resort's forest-edge position means wildlife encounters are never confined to safari hours alone — sambhar deer are frequent evening visitors to the resort lawns, a rich variety of Corbett's resident and migratory birds are active in the tree canopy from first light, and the calls of the jungle carry clearly across the property on still nights.
Dining at Myrica Resort is one of the most distinctive culinary experiences in the Corbett region. The mansion's principal dining space, The Moulik Table, is set in the original dining hall of the heritage building — a room of remarkable character, with its original teak dining table, period sideboards, and tall windows framing the courtyard garden. Meals here feel less like hotel dining and more like being a guest at a private country house. The kitchen draws on the culinary traditions of colonial Kumaon and North India, preparing hearty, flavourful dishes using recipes inspired by the original family's household menus, reimagined with fresh, locally sourced ingredients.
Beyond the formal dining hall, the mansion offers dining in the courtyard beneath the old mango tree — a magical setting for breakfasts, evening sundowners, and special occasion dinners. The mansion's private terrace is available for exclusive candlelit dinners under the stars. Myrica Bar, housed in the original study, is lined with vintage maps and old hunting photographs, and serves a curated selection of single malts, wines, craft spirits, and the mansion's signature herbal cocktails.
The Forest View Rooms are Myrica's signature accommodation — thoughtfully proportioned spaces finished in warm stone and natural timber, with large windows and a private terrace or sit-out that face directly onto the resort's gardens and the forest canopy beyond. Each room features a king or twin bed configuration, luxurious cotton linen, a well-appointed en-suite bathroom with rain shower, and curated in-room touches that reflect the natural surroundings. These rooms offer an immersive forest experience with every comfort in place — the ideal choice for both leisure guests and wildlife enthusiasts.
The Pool-Facing Deluxe Rooms are positioned along the resort's pool wing, offering guests a front-row experience of one of Myrica's finest features — the sparkling pool set against a backdrop of unbroken forest. Each room features an elevated king bed, a spacious lounge area, a large bathroom with both overhead rain shower and a deep-fill soaking tub, and a private balcony from which the pool and treeline are visible in equal measure. These rooms are particularly popular with couples and returning guests who want both the resort's social energy and a sense of secluded retreat.
The Myrica Grand Suite is the mansion's most exclusive accommodation — the original family wing of the heritage building, now offered as a fully private, self-contained suite that spans the entire west wing of the mansion. Comprising two bedrooms, a grand drawing room with original fireplace, a private dining room, a wrap-around veranda overlooking the pool and forested grounds, a dedicated butler, and access to a private garden courtyard, the Grand Wing offers a level of space, privacy, and heritage character that is truly unmatched in the Corbett region. Available exclusively for booking as a full unit — the ultimate choice for honeymoons, milestone celebrations, and guests seeking a completely private heritage estate experience.
