About Resort

The Silver Sky, this modern resort in Chikmagalur, is aesthetically designed amidst coffee plantations in the backdrop of lush green Western Ghats. With the property constructed inside the coffee estate, one can wake up to the chirping of birds from the tall trees that give shade to the coffee plants underneath. One can have a stunning view of Mullayanagiri, the highest peak of Karnataka.

Spread across 11 acres, the resort provides 4-star amenities with spacious rooms in different categories. The only restaurant in the resort offers delicious food, be it north Indian, south Indian and local dishes. Though the property is surrounded by a dense canopy of trees, you need not be afraid of flies, mosquitoes or other insects – thanks to mesh doors in every room and daily fogging of insecticides to maintain the resort pest free.
