Panigram Resort - Home
Panigram Resort is a socially and environmentally responsible boutique resort located on a river in southern Bangladesh just 70 km from the famous Sundarban mangrove forest. We are developing a luxury resort with a spa and wellness center that protects the natural and cultural heritage of Bangladesh, provides authentic and distinctive travel experiences to discerning travelers, promotes sustainable development, and improves the quality of life in the host community.
Not only will Panigram be one of the premiere resorts in Bangladesh, but it will also be committed to responsible hospitality, designed to harmonize with the community and powered by alternative energy. The beautifully designed mud and bamboo construction will be will be a modern interpretation of vernacular Bangladeshi architecture.
The resort is easily accessible by air; it takes less time to get from Dhaka to Panigram than it does to get from the northern to the southern end of Dhaka in rush hour traffic!
Panigram Resort is currently under construction. We anticipate opening in September 2010.

Site Photos!
Posted by Kristin Boekhoff on May 31st, 2009Here are some photos of the gorgeous place where we will be building Panigram. The resort is set at the intersection of a navigable river and a smaller canal. There are many native trees (mango, date palm, papaya, mahogany, bamboo, etc.) already on the site which we will preserve during construction.
