Simala Retreat
A place shaped by stillness and nature, where true luxury lies in calm surroundings, natural beauty, and meaningful connection. Set along a quiet riverside in Baiguney, Sikkim, our 50 rooms retreat draws inspiration from the Simal (Silk Cotton) tree—a symbol of harmony, renewal, and resilience—blending thoughtful comfort with mindful hospitality.
Wake to soft mountain air, explore nearby trails, tea gardens, and riverside activities, then return to comfort that feels effortless and unforced. Located close to Jorethang, Namchi, Pelling and Darjeeling, Simala offers both access and escape. Designed for families, couples, and conscious travellers, it is a gentle sanctuary away from the noise of popular hill destinations—an invitation to pause, breathe deeply, and experience the region at its most peaceful.
“ Rediscover the simplicity of being. Come back to nature”
Come back to nature
Beyond the bustle and the traffic lies a place where the air is pure and the river speaks. We’ve traded concrete for canopy to create a space dedicated to your well-being. Whether you’re seeking a quiet retreat or a family adventure, let your kids discover the magic of the natural world through immersive, hands-on experiences. Our curated experiences bridge the gap between the modern world and the natural one.
