Rosetta Hospitality is set to make a splash in the affordable luxury market with the launch of Elements by Rosetta-Varca in South Goa. This new venture aims to offer a perfect blend of comfort and high-end amenities, targeting the increasing demand for affordable luxury travel.
The Elements by Rosetta will open in two phases. Phase 1 introduces 74 meticulously designed rooms, while Phase 2 will add 68 suites, bringing the total number of rooms to 142. Additionally, Rosetta Hospitality plans to debut Collins De La Mer, a three-level beachfront shack that promises breathtaking ocean views from each floor, enhancing the overall tropical experience.
Guests at Elements by Rosetta can enjoy a variety of amenities designed for relaxation and entertainment. These include a swimming pool with a dedicated kids' area, a children's play area, a family activity center, and multiple dining options such as Cucina Rosetta and Collins Bar-By-the-Pool. The all-day dining restaurant, Rosetta Engage, along with a gym and a spa, ensures guests have everything they need for a comfortable stay. The property features five categories of rooms, ranging from 400 to 600 square feet, with some rooms offering bathtubs and others featuring outdoor jacuzzis.
For events and meetings, Elements by Rosetta offers versatile venues, including a 4,000 square-foot grand ballroom, a scenic 5,000 square-foot outdoor lawn, and well-appointed board rooms. These spaces are perfect for corporate meetings, weddings, and other significant gatherings.
Rosetta Hospitality is known for its exceptional regional cuisine, a reputation bolstered by the success of Ouzo by Fire in Indiranagar, Bengaluru. At Varca, this tradition continues with a diverse menu featuring the finest culinary offerings from around the world, available both in restaurants and through in-room dining.
Club Rosetta, India's premier luxury hospitality club, offers an exclusive vacation ownership program. Members enjoy a week-long holiday annually (four weekdays plus three weekends) for 10 or 20 years, secured by a refundable deposit. The program provides access to 240 resorts worldwide, ensuring a variety of travel options and unparalleled quality.
Errol Fernandes, Chairman and Managing Director of Rosetta Hospitality, highlighted the strategic choice of location: "In our quest to establish ourselves as a leading hospitality brand, we recognized Goa as the ideal location. Its unique blend of pristine beaches, vibrant culture, and thriving tourism industry makes it attractive for both business and leisure. The hotel, a five-star property, serves a diverse clientele, making it a perfect addition to our portfolio."
Jai Sreedhar, Joint Managing Director, commented on the affordable luxury sector's growth: "New-age travelers seek experiences that combine high-end amenities with accessible pricing. Elements by Rosetta is designed to meet these needs, offering luxury and comfort in a stunning setting. We believe our new property will resonate with travelers who value quality and sophistication without compromising on affordability."
Since its inception in 2017, Rosetta Hospitality has been dedicated to creating exceptional experiences across various destinations. The brand's portfolio includes luxurious eco-friendly resorts and unforgettable culinary journeys. As part of its expansion plan, Rosetta Hospitality will soon add properties in Kalyapura, near Bengaluru, and Magge. Future locations under consideration include Bandipur, Kabini, Wayanad, Munnar, Ooty, Mahabalipuram, and Udaipur.
For travelers seeking an elevated experience, Club Rosetta's exclusive membership program offers numerous benefits, enhancing every journey to unforgettable heights.

Summit Hotels & Resorts is set to expand its Signature Collection with a 17-villa retreat in Lachung, North Sikkim, scheduled to open in December 2026. The upcoming property will strengthen the company's premium hospitality portfolio in the Eastern Himalayas, with an emphasis on local architecture, cultural experiences and the region's natural landscape.
Located at an altitude of approximately 8,600 feet, Lachung is around 118 km from Gangtok and serves as a gateway to destinations including Yumthang Valley, Zero Point and Katao. The retreat will feature 17 villas inspired by traditional Sikkimese architecture, reflecting the area's cultural character and mountain setting.
Beyond accommodation, the property is expected to offer experiences that encourage guests to explore North Sikkim beyond conventional sightseeing. Planned activities include guided village walks, opportunities to discover Bhutia traditions and cuisine, visits to nearby orchards and monasteries, and excursions to alpine valleys. Seasonal experiences such as rhododendron viewing, winter snow excursions and stargazing are also being considered, subject to local conditions.
Commenting on the development, Sumit Mitruka, CEO, Summit Hotels & Resorts, said, “North Sikkim has considerable potential to develop beyond conventional sightseeing-led tourism. Lachung is already an important stop on the Yumthang and Zero Point circuit, but we believe there is an opportunity to encourage travellers to spend more time in the destination itself. With this retreat, we want to introduce a premium stay experience that draws on the region's architecture, culture and natural surroundings. We also see opportunities to work with local communities through employment, sourcing and destination experiences as tourism develops.”
The project comes amid renewed tourism interest in North Sikkim, supported by improved accessibility along the Lachung–Yumthang–Zero Point circuit. Known for its Himalayan scenery, rhododendron forests and traditional Bhutia settlements, Lachung offers opportunities to develop longer, nature-focused stays alongside established sightseeing itineraries.
The retreat will join Summit's Signature Collection, which includes Summit Norbu Ghang in Gangtok and Summit Rungkhung Village Resort in Dirang, Arunachal Pradesh. The collection forms part of the company's wider strategy to develop premium, destination-focused hospitality across the Eastern Himalayas and other leisure markets in India.
With the Lachung project, Summit is looking to combine premium accommodation with local culture and nature-based experiences, while creating opportunities for community participation as tourism in North Sikkim evolves
