Resort Overview
The Silver Sky Hotels & Resorts, founded by MP Chethan, has opened a nature‑luxury resort situated on a working coffee and pepper plantation at the foothills of Mullayanagiri in Kalledevarapura village, Chikkamagaluru, Karnataka. The estate spans 10 acres and lies just 10 minutes from Chikkamagaluru’s main city, at an elevation that forms part of the Western Ghats coffee‑growing belt, with Mullayanagiri rising to 1,930 metres above sea level.
Sensory Experience
The property is built around four sensory anchors: a complimentary guided Coffee Trail that introduces guests to Robusta and Arabica varieties and the role of altitude; the Smudge Spa, which offers treatments infused with estate‑harvested botanicals and Malnad wellness traditions; the Silver Spoon restaurant, which showcases Malnad cuisine as a culinary identity; and the Silver Peg, an open‑air bar where sundowners are framed by plantation canopy and misty peaks.
Accommodation
Four room categories are offered – Coffee Cottage, Coffee Cottage with Balcony, Silver Ignots, and Serenity Suites – each designed to frame the surrounding landscape rather than compete with it. Balconied cottages open directly onto plantation lines, while Serenity Suites provide a private, fully immersive experience.
Direct‑Booking Benefits
Guests who book directly via www.thesilversky.in receive early check‑in where available, a 10 % discount on Smudge Spa treatments, and the possibility of room upgrades, reflecting the management’s intent to reward direct engagement.
Accessibility and Target Market
The resort is positioned as a base camp for exploring the Western Ghats’ coffee‑growing region, with Datta Peeta (Baba Budangiri) 36 km away and other attractions such as Kemmanagundi within reach. Weekend travelers from Bengaluru can reach the resort in under six hours by road; the location also appeals to visitors from Mumbai, Chennai and other urban centres seeking an authentic nature escape.
Positioning and Recognition
The Silver Sky is promoted as one of Karnataka’s best luxury resorts, emphasizing that it does not create an experience but reveals the existing natural one. The founder’s statement underscores this philosophy: “The best resorts don’t create an experience. They reveal one.”
Release Information
The press release announcing the resort was issued on Tuesday, 7 July 2026 at 10:07:22 IST, under an arrangement with NRDPL, with PTI noting it takes no editorial responsibility.
