If you plan to travel to this beautiful village during winters, you may just find yourself awestruck at these little spots, about 20 mins away from the Hilton Shillim Retreat & Spa. Make sure you roll your windows down, stop at a few spots to take in these breathtaking vistas and click tones of pics

Life is about creating memories, isn’t it !

This is me exactly 3 years back at the same spot, Hilton Shillim Estate Resort and Spa. Since it wasn’t raining that day, I remember taking a dip in the infinity pool. The view was simply breathtaking.

And that is our private terrace for the duration of our stay! Doesn’t the excitement sooo much show on my face !!

Wouldnt it be really nice to have a villa with a private shower area, amidst nature? Right under the blue sky, surrounded by trees and yet very private, accessible only via your own villa.

You may think that I just asked for the whole world, but Nah!

One of the many things I love about Hilton Shillim Estate Resorts and Spa is JUST that, especially when it rains. The shower area is so perfectly perfect. And their bath tub comes with a view of its own, in some villas atleast.

The breakfast is on the house and one not to be missed, often bundled into your room rate. The spread will make you want to come back for more. Mostly made with local, often organic ingredients you will never get tired of this buffet.  The bar at the infinity pool serves amazing pizzas, perfect for in-meal snacks.

  • Pricing
  • A select few villas could possibly benefit from a better view
