A serene new retreat set amidst forests, hills, and timeless charm
Essentia Group of Hotels & Resorts, celebrated across India for its thoughtfully curated hospitality experiences, is extending its signature blend of comfort and refined living to the verdant heartland of Sirsi with the launch of Essentia Resort & Spa Sirsi. Marking the brand’s debut in the region, the property is envisioned as a serene escape where contemporary elegance meets the lush landscapes, spiritual essence, and unhurried rhythm of one of Karnataka’s most enchanting destinations.
Nestled among green forests and rolling hills, Sirsi is often referred to as the gateway to Uttara Kannada – a region celebrated for its unspoiled natural beauty, deep-rooted spiritual heritage, and slow-paced way of life. The town is surrounded by breathtaking natural attractions, including the majestic Unchalli Falls, the cascading Magod Falls, and scenic forest trails that draw nature lovers, adventure seekers, and those in pursuit of quiet reflection alike. It is into this distinctive landscape that Essentia now plants its flag, bringing with it the warmth and refinement the brand has become known for across its growing national portfolio.
Essentia Resort & Spa Sirsi is designed as a refined yet welcoming retreat, offering elegantly appointed rooms complemented by modern amenities and warm, intuitive service. Thoughtfully crafted to reflect the character of its surroundings, the resort caters to leisure travellers, families, and those seeking respite from the pace of city life – without asking them to compromise on comfort or quality.
Mohammed Parvez, Chief Executive Officer of Essentia Group of Hotels & Resorts, expressed his enthusiasm for the new property: “Our expansion into Sirsi marks an important milestone for Essentia. We wanted to create a retreat that harmonises seamlessly with its surroundings while offering the modern luxuries today’s travellers value. Sirsi offers a rare balance of adventure and serenity, and we look forward to welcoming guests who seek both.” He added, “Sirsi has a unique charm that instantly puts you at ease. This property embodies our philosophy of thoughtful hospitality, attention to detail, and creating spaces that feel both special and personal. We are proud to introduce Essentia to this beautiful destination.”
The Sirsi property is a reflection of the broader vision that Essentia’s leadership has been building since the company’s founding. The group is led by Chairman Xavier Furtado, Managing Director Savita Da Silva, and CEO Mohammed Parvez – a leadership team that has steered Essentia from a single flagship property to one of India’s fastest-growing hospitality brands in less than a decade.
Essentia Hotels & Resorts was established in 2018 under the aegis of Aaverina Hospitality Private Limited and is proudly headquartered in Bengaluru. At the heart of the brand lies a steadfast commitment to delivering affordable luxury – an ethos that transforms every guest experience through thoughtful design, sincere service, and genuine human connections that linger long after checkout. The company has rapidly carved a distinctive niche in India’s dynamic hospitality landscape, with a portfolio that currently spans Essentia Luxury Hotel Indore, Essentia Luxury Resort & Spa Udaipur, Essentia Premier Hotel Pune, Essentia Premier Hotel Chennai, Essentia Resort & Spa Sirsi, and Essentia Luxury Hotel and Convention Nagpur. An ambitious pipeline of upcoming properties – including projects in Sakleshpur, Bengaluru, Tirupati, Wayanad, Surat, and Udaipur – signals the brand’s intent to extend its reach further across the country.
Central to Essentia’s strategy is a forward-thinking focus on Tier II and Tier III cities – regions brimming with untapped tourism potential and an underserved demand for quality hospitality. This deliberate approach reinforces the brand’s dedication to nurturing regional tourism ecosystems while building a footprint that extends well beyond metropolitan markets. With Essentia Resort & Spa Sirsi, that vision finds yet another compelling expression — and Karnataka’s hidden gem now has a hospitality partner worthy of its beauty.
