A large Tudor-style resort set in a working tea garden at New Chumta, between Siliguri and Bagdogra. Pool, spa and several restaurants; the most relaxed place to spend a first or last night on the plains.

Mayfair Tea Resort sits in the New Chumta Tea Garden on the edge of Siliguri, between the city and Bagdogra Airport. It is built in a Tudor-inspired style around lawns, with more than 150 rooms, a large outdoor pool overlooking tea bushes, a spa and several dining options. The Mayfair group also runs resorts in Darjeeling, Gangtok and Kalimpong.

This is the place for a soft landing after a long journey or a slow last evening before a flight home. Families like the pool and grounds; couples use it to break a long hill trip. It is not in the hills and not a forest lodge, so choose it for comfort and convenience rather than views. Rates vary widely with season and plan.

Why we like it

  • Set in a tea garden, convenient for Bagdogra Airport
  • Pool, spa and multiple restaurants
  • Part of a group with properties across the region

Watch out for

It is large and popular for weddings and events, so it can feel busy rather than intimate on peak dates.

Is Mayfair Tea Resort inside a tea garden

Yes. The resort is set in the New Chumta Tea Garden on the edge of Siliguri, and the pool looks over tea bushes. It is on the plains, so expect garden views rather than mountains.
