Hilton to expand in India with spa resort in Sahyadri
BY Aoife Dowling



Hilton Worldwide is set to open the Shillim Estate Retreat & Spa - its first leisure property in India next year.

The resort will be operated by Hilton Worldwide and owned by Mumbai-based management company Writer Lifestyle.

Situated in the Sahyadri mountain range also known as Western Ghats in western India, the retreat will span 320-acres offering a sanctuary for the body, mind and spirit.

The 70-acre spa will feature 17 treatment rooms, a meditation cave, three consultation rooms and a relaxation centre.

Spa facilities will include a yoga pavilion, a spa restaurant, an outdoor heated spa pool, conventional and infrared saunas, steamrooms, outdoor hot tubs and hydrotherapy tubs.

A variety of experiences will be on offer including pranic healing, chakra cleansing, hydro therapy, tai chi and watsu.

The spa concept at Hilton Shillim is inspired by the healing system of ayurveda and yoga and also incorporates strong reiki, acupressure, aromatherapy and naturopathy traditions.

Programmes are individually customized to offer rest and wellbeing to the body, mind and spirit.

The spa menu will feature more than 150 different treatment and villas will house private treatment spaces so guests can avail of in-room treatments.

The retreat will house 99 villas including Spa Pool Villas and Presidential Pool Villas with private gardens and swimming pools.

There will be seven on-site restaurants and bar venues each using organic and locally sourced ingredients. A strong focus on good nutrition will be common in all restaurants and guests are also given the option 'Dining by Design', which allows them to choose the setting for their meal, by the banks of a waterfall, or on a forest plateau.

The retreat is designed, built and operated with sustainability as a core commitment.
