Sterling Holiday Resorts has launched Sterling Kadumane Hills Sakleshpur, a boutique resort created as a sanctuary for those looking to unplug, reconnect, and rejuvenate amidst nature. This marks Sterling’s first boutique property in Sakleshpur and the fourth in Karnataka.

Located high on a scenic hill in the Western Ghats, the resort welcomes guests with a signature 4x4 jeep ride that sets the tone for an offbeat adventure. Spread across 14 acres of untouched landscape, the property features handcrafted wooden cottages that open to sweeping views of valleys and forests, blending comfort with the spirit of slow travel.

At Rasavati, the resort’s dining space, food takes a wellness-first approach with wholesome vegetarian meals and Malnad-inspired specials. Guests can further unwind at the wellness centre, which offers authentic Ayurvedic therapies aimed at holistic healing. For those seeking adventure, options include treks to hidden waterfalls, birdwatching, plantation walks, and a visit to the famed Bisle Ghat viewpoint, often called “India’s Amazon.”

Speaking about the launch, Vikram Lalvani, MD & CEO, Sterling Holiday Resorts, said, “Sterling Kadumane Hills Sakleshpur is a milestone in our journey to create immersive, boutique resorts that redefine leisure travel. This property is designed as an expansive canvas for discovery—where wellness, slow travel, and mindful living come together.”

Mr. Raghavendra, Owner, Kadumane Hills Resorts, added, “We are delighted to partner with Sterling, who bring deep expertise and a shared vision for ‘slow travel’ in this region. Together, we aim to create experiences that highlight the culture, cuisine, and natural beauty of Sakleshpur.”

The retreat’s tranquil setting and intimate vibe make it ideal for couples, families, wellness seekers, and offbeat travellers who want more than just rest they return home refreshed and renewed.

Sterling Kadumane Hills Sakleshpur is located 17 km from Sakleshpur town and about 224 km (roughly 5.5 to 6 hours by road) from Bangalore. The nearest airport is Mangalore International Airport, around 3.5 hours away.

With this launch, Sterling reinforces its growing portfolio of resorts across India, offering experiences that range from hill stations and jungles to beaches and heritage towns.
