Villa resort with a pool and spa, reported as 61-62 cottages and about 50 km from Dhaka; the nearest upscale option to the Safari Park.
Bhawal Resort & Spa is a villa-style resort in Noljahni village, Bhawal Mirzapur, in Gazipur district of Dhaka Division, Bangladesh. It is reported to sit about 50 km from central Dhaka and is generally described as the nearest upscale lodging to the Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Safari Park, which makes it a practical base for visitors combining a wildlife outing with an overnight stay. Road access from Dhaka runs north along the Dhaka-Mymensingh corridor and then onto local roads through Bhawal Mirzapur, so travel time depends heavily on traffic leaving the capital. No rail or metro service reaches the property, and most guests arrive by private car or hired microbus.
The resort is laid out as a cluster of cottages and villas rather than a single tower block, with sources reporting roughly 61 to 62 cottages across the grounds. That low-rise, spread-out layout gives the property a rural retreat character, with lawns and pathways between accommodation units, quite different from the business hotels found in central Gazipur or Dhaka. Room types are listed as Villa and Cottage, and the price band is upper-mid, reflecting the pool and spa facilities.
Amenities reported for the resort include a swimming pool, a spa, an on-site restaurant, wifi and parking. The restaurant serves guests staying in the cottages and is the main dining option on site, since the surrounding village area has few formal places to eat. Menus at comparable Bangladeshi resorts typically combine Bangladeshi rice-and-curry dishes with a limited selection of continental and Chinese items, and visitors should confirm current menus and breakfast arrangements when booking. The spa and pool are the main leisure draws and suit families, couples and corporate groups looking for a quiet weekend away from the city.
Service character is leisure-oriented, aimed at weekend and holiday visitors, family gatherings and small corporate retreats. Published nightly rates were not found in the sources checked; Gazipur lodging as a whole ranges from roughly $34 to $154 (about Tk 4,100 to Tk 18,800) per night on aggregators, and a villa resort of this type would be expected toward the upper half of that range. Weekends and public holidays are the busiest periods, so advance reservations are advisable. Visitors planning a Safari Park trip should check current opening days and hours for the park before fixing dates.
