Hospitality with Local Roots, Global Standards

Skipping Stones is a hospitality company headquartered in Sikkim, dedicated to developing world-class hotels and resorts in unique destinations. With an insider’s understanding of the region, we bring together local knowledge, sustainable design, and operational excellence to deliver distinctive guest experiences while building sustainable, profitable assets.

Founded in 2008, our journey began with a 52-room riverside retreat in Baiguney, West Sikkim. For years, it operated successfully as Club Mahindra Baiguney. In 2025, this landmark property entered a new chapter as Simala Retreat, our flagship eco-luxury property. It now sets the benchmark for our future portfolio.

Our second property, Vivanta Sikkim, launched in 2021, is a 50-room luxury resort located just 7.5 km from Pakyong Airport. Operated by the Indian Hotels Company (IHCL), home to the Taj Group, it demonstrates our ability to partner with leading operators while shaping the luxury hospitality landscape in Sikkim and beyond.

Today, Skipping Stones is expanding its portfolio with new properties in high-potential destinations. Each project is guided by three principles: sustainability, differentiated guest experiences, and above-market performance.

Our Four-Point Mission

Our mission is built on four commitments that guide every project we undertake:

Create exceptional and operationally efficient hospitality products

Market each property successfully to ensure sustained performance

Deliver asset value for promoters and investors

Achieve sustainable development through a deep commitment to people and the environment

Our Vision

Create Unique World-Class Products

Every destination has its own story. Skipping Stones designs hotels and resorts that capture the character of each location while offering modern comfort. Our flagship brand, Simala, reflects this approach — properties that are authentic, luxurious, and accessible.

Leveraging Market Driven Opportunities

Tourism across our target regions is growing rapidly, yet quality hospitality infrastructure often lags behind demand. Skipping Stones doesn’t just build properties — we develop entire destinations, creating value where others see gaps.

Creating Operationally Successful Sustainable Products

A hotel’s true success lies in how it operates. At Skipping Stones, every project is designed for long-term performance, guided by sustainable practices such as green construction, water harvesting, and waste management. Our approach minimizes environmental impact, benefits local communities, and delivers durable returns.

Let’s take the next step
and work together.
