Onora Hospitality Pvt Ltd has unveiled its inaugural wellbeing resort as part of the newly launched brand, 'Bookmark Resorts'. The first property, set to open soon in Manali, Himachal Pradesh, will offer 39 rooms and suites equipped with modern amenities. Over the next three years, Onora Hospitality plans to introduce 10 Bookmark Resorts across India.

Having already launched 10 luxury resorts under the jüSTa brand across various destinations in India, including Rishikesh, Mukteshwar, Dharamshala, Mashobra, Manali, Udaipur, and Goa, the company's Founder and CEO, Ashish Vohra, envisions providing transformative getaways at inspiring locations that offer holistic wellness experiences.

He explained the motivation behind the venture, stating, "Currently, well-being resorts in India are either at premium level and price points or at a very basic level of service. Given how people are focussing on well-being, we wished to bring a luxury, target-oriented, holistic wellness offering to a larger audience. Through Bookmark Resorts, we will offer holistic journeys of healing and rejuvenation through practices like Yoga and Meditation as well as international Spa Treatments curated by domain experts, complemented by nourishing food and beverage and unique outdoor excursions."

According to Vohra, their sanctuary of calm, the ‘Ekam’ spa, will offer the opportunity to rebalance and rejuvenate the guests with its excellent well-being journeys and a la carte options. 

“Our discreet location near the iconic Log Huts and the proximity to the beautiful Old Manali area and Mall Road prompted us to choose this as our first Bookmark. The iconic view of the Rohtang La from our Solarium is one-of-its-kind,” he further added.

With strategic expansion and operations, Onora Hospitality aims to achieve a revenue milestone of Rs. 100 crores by the end of the fiscal year.
