The Fern Hotels & Resorts has opened Tapovana The Fern Heritage Resort in Sakleshpur, Karnataka, its 12th property in South India and 132nd nationwide. Nestled amid shaded coffee plantations and dense forest, this 34‑room luxury retreat marries colonial‑era charm with contemporary comfort.
“Tapovana exemplifies our commitment to eco‑sensitive hospitality,” said Suhail Kannampilly, MD of The Fern Hotels & Resorts. “Guests will discover a heritage‑inspired sanctuary in Karnataka’s coffee heartland, where cultural legacy and nature’s serenity come together.”
Accommodations span five categories of rooms and suites, each featuring private balconies overlooking rolling plantations. The resort’s all‑day restaurant, Navarasa, serves global cuisine against a backdrop of verdant hills, while an in‑room dining menu—complete with a late‑night selection—caters to every whim.
Event spaces include the Arabica and Robusta boardrooms plus a 15,000 sq ft wedding lawn. Leisure amenities range from an infinity pool and full‑service spa to a children’s play area.
Tapovana is 259 km from Bengaluru’s Kempegowda International Airport, 143 km from Mangalore International Airport, and a short drive from Sakleshpur Railway Station. Whether for weddings, wellness retreats, or tranquil forest getaways, the resort offers an immersive escape where heritage elegance meets modern indulgence.
