The Indian Hotels Company Limited (IHCL) today announced the signing of a Tree of Life resort in Sakaleshpur, Karnataka.
A Strategic Entry into an Emerging Destination
Suma Venkatesh, Executive Vice President, Real Estate & Development, IHCL, said, “Sakaleshpur is a pristine destination in Karnataka that blends heritage with plantation landscapes. With tourism emerging as a strong economic driver here, experiential and boutique stays are witnessing growing demand. This signing marks IHCL’s early entry into an underpenetrated micro-market, enabling us to cater to discerning travellers seeking immersive leisure experiences. The Tree of Life resort will strengthen our presence along the Western Ghats and reinforce IHCL’s boutique positioning in this evolving destination belt. We are delighted to partner with Mystica Retreats LLP for this project.”
A Sanctuary in the Western Ghats
Nestled in the heart of the Western Ghats, the 40-key Tree of Life Sakaleshpur will be a sanctuary of tranquility and charm. The resort is set against a forested backdrop enriched by a perennial stream, creating a canvas of natural beauty. True to the Tree of Life ethos, the retreat will feature an all-day dining restaurant and bar along with wellness offerings including a swimming pool, treatment room and yoga space as well as thoughtfully curated experiences designed for guests seeking serenity and connection with nature.
