Sterling Holiday Resorts Unveils Sterling Govardhana Malampuzha

Sterling Holiday Resorts has announced the launch of Sterling Govardhana Malampuzha — a resort that redefines how travellers experience Kerala’s enchanting garden valley. This strategic opening broadens Sterling’s footprint across South India and reinforces its mission to curate ‘destinations beyond the obvious’.

Cradled by the Western Ghats and within easy driving distance of Palakkad and Coimbatore, the resort transforms Malampuzha from a well-loved day excursion into a vibrant short-stay destination for families, couples, and those celebrating special moments. Designed as an accessible nature retreat, it combines effortless travel, warm local culture, and Sterling’s signature comfort.

“Sterling Govardhana, Malampuzha isn’t just a new resort — it marks the creation of a new travel node,” said Vikram Lalvani, Managing Director & CEO, Sterling Holiday Resorts. “By integrating Malampuzha into our South India grid, we are connecting markets and mindsets. This supports our strategy of transforming high-potential locales into must-stay destinations that bridge Tamil Nadu, Central Kerala, and the Nilgiris. With quick connectivity to Sterling properties in Anaikatti, Athirappilly, Guruvayur and Ooty, it also satisfies the demand for circuit travel.”

Set amongst serene gardens framed by the Sahyadri hills, Sterling Govardhana, Malampuzha offers elegant rooms and suites for families and couples, complemented by open lawns and stylish indoor venues ideal for reunions, weddings and milestone celebrations.

At Savoree, the resort’s signature restaurant, guests can savour Kerala’s regional culinary treasures — Paal Konchu Porichathu, Kozhi Erussery, Paneer Kurumulaku Roast and more — alongside child-friendly favourites and global classics, all crafted from locally sourced ingredients.

M. Satheesan, representative of Malampuzha Hotel Pvt Ltd, added, “Malampuzha has always symbolised Kerala’s natural beauty and community spirit. Our partnership with Sterling is founded on a shared belief that thoughtful, design-led hospitality can showcase such destinations responsibly while enriching local livelihoods. With Sterling’s decades of destination-development expertise, Malampuzha will evolve from a weekend stop to a must-stay experience on India’s leisure map.”

At Sterling Govardhana, Malampuzha, the experience flows far beyond the rooms. Guests can glide above the valley on the iconic ropeway, wander through its whimsical rock gardens, or linger by the dam’s mirror-calm waters as dusk colours the hills. Families can explore flower-filled parks and lakeside promenades, while evenings come alive with cultural performances, photo trails and the lingering aromas of regional spices. Every moment invites travellers to slow down, connect, and rediscover the simple joy of being together in nature’s embrace.

With resorts in Athirappilly, Anaikatti, Alleppey, Wayanad, Munnar, Guruvayur, Thekkady, and now Malampuzha, Sterling commands one of the most extensive networks in Kerala’s hospitality landscape. This expansion strengthens Sterling’s drive-to circuit linking Tamil Nadu, Central Kerala and the Nilgiris, reinforcing the brand’s mission to curate “destinations beyond the obvious” through its What-A Trip campaign.
