Hidden in the quiet charm of Lamahatta, just 22 kilometers from Darjeeling, lies a new retreat that brings together luxury, culture, and the grandeur of the Himalayas. Summit Enigma Resort and Spa has opened its doors, inviting travelers to experience the serenity of mountain life without giving up on indulgence.
While many travelers wake at dawn to catch a glimpse of Kanchenjunga from Tiger Hill, here the view greets you right outside your room. Each of the resort’s sixteen thoughtfully designed rooms, from cozy premium spaces to sweeping balcony suites, offers uninterrupted views of the majestic Himalayan peaks. Imagine sipping morning tea while the mountains turn golden with the sunrise, all from the comfort of your private window.
Wellness sits at the heart of Enigma. The Metta Spa offers treatments inspired by the rhythms of the mountains, with steam, sauna, and a Jacuzzi facing Kanchenjunga that transforms relaxation into a ritual. The dining experience is equally rewarding. At CloudSong Restaurant, menus highlight fresh, locally sourced ingredients and regional flavors, with farm-to-table offerings that celebrate the richness of the hills.
What sets Enigma apart is its deep sense of connection to the land and its people. Guests are encouraged to walk through nearby farms, witness sustainable practices, and engage with local communities. Even the wildlife makes itself known, with deer often spotted near the property, a reminder that luxury here coexists seamlessly with nature.
The location offers an ideal balance, close enough to Darjeeling’s monasteries and the iconic Himalayan Railway, yet perfectly placed for Lamahatta’s forest trails, eco park, and tea gardens.
For Summit Hotels and Resorts, this property represents a bold step in redefining mountain hospitality. Founder and CEO Sumit Mitruka describes Enigma as the brand’s most ambitious interpretation of luxury rooted in mindfulness and culture. With over thirty properties across Eastern India, Summit continues to lead the way in crafting experiences that are as authentic as they are indulgent.
Summit Enigma Resort and Spa is not just a stay, it is an invitation to slow down, reconnect, and let the Himalayas become more than just a backdrop.
