Sterling Holiday Resorts announced the launch of Sterling Kadumane Hills Sakleshpur, an exclusive boutique resort created as a sanctuary for the urban dweller to pause, breathe, and reconnect with self and nature. Perched high on a lush hill in the Western Ghats, with breathtaking views across one of India’s most verdant landscapes, the arrival at the resort is an experience in itself, with the last leg accessed via the resort’s signature 4x4 jeep ride.
Spread across 14 acres of pristine hill terrain, Sterling Kadumane Hills blends seamlessly into its environment, with handcrafted wooden cottages offering panoramic valley and forest views. Guests are encouraged to immerse themselves in soulful outdoor experiences—sunrise treks, plantation walks, bonfire conversations, or simply pausing to watch clouds drift across the hills.
Dining at Rasavati celebrates wellness, with wholesome vegetarian and select specials of Malnad cuisine, inspired by age-old traditions. The resort’s wellness centre offers authentic Ayurvedic therapies, creating a holistic haven where relaxation and healing go hand in hand. Adventure seekers can explore jeep rides to hidden waterfalls, spot exotic birdlife, or take in the grandeur of the famed Bisle Ghat viewpoint—known as “India’s Amazon.”
“Sterling Kadumane Hills Sakleshpur is a milestone in our journey to create immersive, boutique resorts that redefine leisure travel. At Sterling, our vision is to go beyond conventional holidays and offer sanctuaries where guests can engage deeply with nature and with themselves. Set across 14 acres of lush hills, this property is designed as an expansive canvas for discovery—where wellness, slow travel, and mindful living come together. Sterling Kadumane Hills is not just a retreat, but a benchmark for the future of experiential hospitality in India,” said Vikram Lalvani, MD & CEO, Sterling Holiday Resorts.
Raghavendra, Owner, Kadumane Hills Resorts, added: “We are delighted to partner with Sterling, who bring not only deep expertise in hospitality but also a shared vision for ‘slow travel’ in this region. Together, we aim to create unique experiences that celebrate the culture, cuisine, and natural beauty of Sakleshpur. ”With its handcrafted cottages and serene hilltop atmosphere, Sterling Kadumane Hills offers an intimate, boutique environment—ideal for couples, families, wellness seekers, and offbeat travellers looking not just to rest but to return home renewed. The property is located 17 km from Sakleshpur town and ~224 km (5.5–6 hrs) from Bangalore via NH75. The nearest airport is Mangalore International Airport (~3.5 hrs).
