Sterling Holiday Resorts is proud to introduce Sterling Bagh Ranthambore, its 10th wildlife resort and 7th property in Rajasthan. Located in the tranquil heart of Sawai Madhopur, this stunning retreat offers a seamless fusion of nature, comfort, and cultural immersion, redefining the traditional wildlife getaway.
Situated just minutes away from the renowned Ranthambore National Park, the resort provides easy access to one of India’s most famous wildlife sanctuaries. Sterling Bagh Ranthambore boasts a peaceful courtyard complete with an inviting pool surrounded by swaying palms, evoking the charm of a Middle Eastern oasis. Guests are greeted by tastefully designed accommodations, blending nature-inspired elegance with modern amenities. The suites feature separate living spaces and offer scenic views, with pool-facing rooms bringing the outdoors closer, creating an immersive and tranquil environment.
Vikram Lalvani, Managing Director & CEO of Sterling Holiday Resorts Limited, shared his excitement, saying, "We are thrilled to launch Sterling Bagh Ranthambore, our 7th resort in Rajasthan. This exclusive retreat embodies Sterling's vision of creating unique wildlife experiences, blending immersive storytelling, cultural richness, and our signature hospitality to redefine wildlife getaways."
The resort’s signature restaurant, Sawai, offers guests a culinary adventure, serving authentic Rajasthani delicacies such as Jungli Maas, Ker Sangri, and Panchkutta ki Sabzi, all complemented by the region’s famous guavas. For those seeking a mix of global flavors, the menu also features a variety of Indian and international options, served in a wildlife-inspired ambiance that enhances the overall dining experience.
The resort’s bar blends classic British pub charm with a local twist. Guests can unwind with a curated selection of fine spirits, signature cocktails, and unique fusion creations, such as the 'Toddy Fusion', which reimagines the traditional local brew with modern mixology techniques. The bar’s rich wooden interiors and vintage décor make it the perfect spot to relax after a day of exploration.
Sterling Bagh Ranthambore also offers a range of curated experiences that combine wildlife exploration and cultural immersion. The resort's Discovery Central immerses guests in the region’s folklore, bringing to life stories such as Raja Hammir Dev’s legendary defense of Ranthambore Fort and the blessings of the Trinetra Ganesh Temple. Storytelling sessions and heritage activities add a unique cultural touch to the stay.
Wildlife enthusiasts can enjoy activities like guided safari rides through Ranthambore National Park, where they can witness Bengal tigers and other wildlife in their natural habitat. Bird-watching tours and treks offer a chance to explore the diverse flora and fauna of the area, while heritage visits to iconic landmarks like the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Ranthambore Fort, Trinetra Ganesh Temple, and Padam Talao Lake provide a glimpse into the region’s rich history.
Evenings at the resort are magical, featuring bonfires under the starlit skies, cultural programs, and serene walks along the expansive lawns. The resort’s natural beauty and impeccable hospitality also make it an ideal location for destination weddings, corporate events, and intimate celebrations.
Sterling Bagh Ranthambore promises to be a unique sanctuary for nature lovers and cultural explorers, offering guests a truly memorable experience.

A luxurious evolution has arrived at Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Kuda Huraa with the launch of its newly reimagined Beach Villas with Pool. These elegant accommodations replace the resort’s former Beach Bungalows, bringing guests a brighter, more spacious, and stylish retreat just steps from the shoreline.
The new villas double the outdoor space to 285 sq. m. (3,068 sq. ft.), feature redesigned interiors spanning 70 sq. m. (753.5 sq. ft.), and are crafted to perfectly blend indoor comfort with the beauty of the Maldives. Ideal for couples, honeymooners, and small families, each Beach Villa comfortably accommodates three adults or two adults and two children under 12.
Commenting on this final phase of the resort’s regeneration project, General Manager Didier Jardin shared, “Kuda Huraa has long been a haven for those seeking an intimate Maldivian home-from-home but we recognised the limitations of our bungalows in terms of layout, light and space. Our first ever Beach Villas embody the spirit of the island, where comfort, care, and the magic of the Maldives come together in a seamless flow.”
What’s New:
Light & airy design:
Deep wood tones have given way to sun-inspired palettes of teal, turquoise, and tangerine, evoking a fresh island vibe.
Smarter layout: A breezy porch leads into an ensuite bedroom with ocean-framed daybed, study, dining space, and a reconfigured walk-in closet seamlessly linked to the bathroom.
Upgraded outdoor living: The plunge pool has transformed into a generous 36 sq. m. (388 sq. ft.) pool oriented towards stunning ocean views. A chic pergola with a round custom swing sets the scene for relaxed lounging or eye-catching Instagram moments.
Elegant touches: High-end designer pieces like the B&B Italia armchair and organic architectural curves ensure the villas harmonise beautifully with their surroundings.
Guests can also enjoy thoughtful inclusions like daily fresh fruit, Kuda Spring water, coffee and tea, twice-daily housekeeping with evening turndown, and beach essentials for children.
For a seamless start to paradise each day, the resort’s Bed & Breakfast package offers a lavish buffet breakfast at Café Huraa, included for two guests per bedroom (or more in family units), available for stays until December 20, 2026.
To be among the first to experience these stunning new villas, guests can email reservations.mal@fourseasons.com or call +960 66 00 888.

Sterling Holiday Resorts has expanded its presence in Uttarakhand with the launch of Sterling GK Exotica, a boutique 36-key business hotel in Dehradun. Located in the heart of the city on Saharanpur Road, the hotel is Sterling’s ninth resort in Uttarakhand and second property in Dehradun, strengthening its foothold in India’s growing business-leisure travel segment.
Just five hours from Delhi NCR and six from Chandigarh, the hotel offers easy connectivity to Haridwar, Roorkee, and Saharanpur. With sweeping views of the Shivalik range and a central location, it appeals equally to corporate guests and weekend travellers.
The hotel offers four room categories from Classic Rooms to Executive Suites with double washrooms and city skyline views. Crowning the property is Skyline, the highest rooftop restaurant and bar in Dehradun, featuring Himalayan herb-infused cuisine, creative cocktails, and a panoramic 270° Shivalik view.
Event spaces include Summit, a rooftop banquet for up to 100 guests, and Mirage, a pillar-free indoor hall with a 150-seat capacity in theatre-style—both ideal for corporate events, offsites, and social gatherings.
Vikram Lalvani, Managing Director & CEO of Sterling Holiday Resorts, shared, “Sterling GK Exotica firmly establishes our base in Dehradun and strengthens our Himalayan circuit. Dehradun’s expressway growth, upgraded airport, and emerging knowledge economy make it North India’s key business-leisure node. With GK Exotica and Sterling Marbella, we offer two contrasting but complementary experiences within one city.”
Aman Bagga, Owner of Global Hospitality Pvt Ltd, added, “Partnering with Sterling was an easy decision. With their solid Uttarakhand roadmap and nationwide sales reach, GK Exotica gains immediate visibility. We aim to position this hotel as Dehradun’s urban retreat for both boardroom and leisure travellers.”
Sterling’s Uttarakhand portfolio now includes:
Sterling GK Exotica and Sterling Marbella in Dehradun
Sterling Mussoorie
Sterling Palm Bliss Rishikesh
Sterling Mantra Haridwar
Sterling Corbett
Sterling Vanvasa Lansdowne
Sterling Nainital
Sterling Kastoori Rudraprayag
Together, these properties support the brand’s ‘drive-to’ strategy, offering seamless travel options from business meetings to yoga retreats and tiger safaris, all integrated through expressway access, digital booking tools, and curated Himalayan travel circuits.
