TAJ RESORT & SPA

Taj Puri Resort & Spa, managed under the esteemed Taj Hotels brand, is a luxury property that reflects the essence of Odisha’s coastal charm and cultural richness. Nestled close to some of the state’s most iconic landmarks—including the Konark Sun Temple, Chilika Lake, and Jagannath Temple—the resort offers a seamless blend of heritage, nature, and luxury hospitality.

Partnering with Muttpackers, the property focuses on creating meaningful travel experiences by integrating local stories, art, and culture into its guest offerings. The objective is to present Odisha not just as a destination, but as a living narrative of tradition, craftsmanship, and natural beauty.

ABOUT

 

From December 2024 to February 2025, I served as an Experience Manager with Muttpackers at Taj Puri Resort & Spa, where I was responsible for curating immersive guest experiences and destination storytelling initiatives. My focus was to highlight Odisha’s cultural and natural heritage through guided excursions, local collaborations, and on-site guest engagement.

I developed experience itineraries and content around key attractions such as Konark Sun Temple, Chilika Lake, Jagannath Temple (Puri), and Raghurajpur Heritage Village, bringing together elements of spirituality, craftsmanship, and ecology. Through immersive storytelling, personalized recommendations, and creative visual content, I worked to enhance the resort’s guest experience and align it with Taj’s brand ethos of timeless hospitality.

Taj Puri Resort & Spa – Destination Experience Management

Description

At Taj Puri Resort & Spa, my role centered on creating authentic and engaging experiences that connected guests to the deeper cultural and ecological identity of Odisha. I collaborated with local artisans, tour guides, and heritage experts to craft bespoke cultural experiences and excursions that reflected the soul of the region.

 

In parallel, I produced visual and written content that celebrated the destinations surrounding Puri—capturing their history, community, and scenic allure. This dual approach of experience curation and content creation enhanced both on-ground guest satisfaction and the resort’s digital storytelling presence.

The project deepened my expertise in luxury hospitality management, destination branding, and experiential tourism, further reinforcing my ability to translate place-based narratives into memorable guest experiences.
