Polo Hotels and Varun Tea Plantations Private Limited are joining hands to launch the Polo Planters Lodge Resort in Doars in West Bengal. This collaboration brings together Polo Hotels & Resorts` flair for offering immersive, locally inspired guest experiences and Ellenbarrie`s heritage of tea craftsmanship, creating a destination that celebrates both indulgence and authenticity.
Spread across 20 acres, Polo Planters Lodge Resort will be an all-villa property, including pool villas with serene views of the surrounding “chai bagan.” Guests will immerse themselves in experiences that celebrate indulgence, authenticity, and the planter lifestyle.
Polo-Curated Experiences
- Space to Unwind: An exclusive villa-only retreat offering privacy and tranquility.
- Cuisine Offerings: Menus crafted with garden-fresh produce, heritage recipes, and tea-inspired pairings.
- The Planter’s Lounge: A nostalgic, elegant space overlooking sweeping tea fields, serving Ellenbarrie’s finest blends.
- Tea & Wellness Rituals: Spa therapies, infusions, and meditations inspired by the healing essence of tea.
Each stay is designed to capture the essence of the planter lifestyle—where time slows to the rhythm of rustling leaves and clinking teacups.

“Our vision for Polo has always been to create not just hotels, but experiences that capture the local essence of surroundings,” said Deval Tibrewalla, CEO, Hotel Polo Towers Group. “With Polo Planters Lodge Resort, we are opening a new chapter, where Ellenbarrie’s planter heritage and Polo’s narrative-driven hospitality will together create an immersive experience in the Doars.”
