Tamara Leisure Experiences

Responsible & Memorable Hospitality

People, Planet, and Profit, Thriving Together

Tamara Leisure Experiences was born out of a deep love for planet and community; one that makes its way into every launched resort, hotel, and wellness centre. The endeavour was to prove by example that memorable hospitality experiences can be designed in a manner that equally serves people, planet, and profit.

Encouraged by seeing first-hand that sustainability is, in fact, also an economically sound principle, Sustainable and Responsible practices remain at the core of every decision at Tamara Leisure Experiences. From designing spaces themselves to implementing and launching a property to establishing and monitoring operations, and supporting local communities & businesses, all design and operational decisions are made through a lens of responsibility and sustainability.

As our family of properties grows, we remain committed to creating unforgettable experiences designed to offer a perfect blend of comfort, care, adventure, and healing, while staying true to sustainability and ethical tourism.

Responsible & Memorable Hospitality

When we call ourselves a responsible brand, it is not a term we use lightly. To truly call ourselves a responsible business, responsibility was applied to all key factors of running an organisation the right way – in a manner that protects our most precious resources.

Ecology: Protecting the Only Home we Have.

Through excavation, architecture, landscaping, sourcing material and construction, care is taken to minimise impact on the planet.

Consumption: Reducing Wastage at Every Stage

Systems are set up to manage and monitor water, energy, and waste at every property to constantly ensure efficient use and re-use of precious resources.

Culture: Growing Along with Local Communities

Hiring from local communities, supporting their activities, and drawing from their expertise, we pride ourselves in growing along with those we share space with.

Governance: We Value Our People

Tamara Leisure Experiences is proud of corporate culture that is built on teamwork, mutual respect, and integrity for all.

Philosophy

We have only one home. This planet, in all its glory, has sustained life in a manner that can only be described as magic. As a thriving business in an industry that often makes undue impact on the ecosystem and communities around it, Tamara Leisure Experiences was set up with one core philosophy:

It is possible for Profit, People, and the Planet to co-exist.

Indeed, it is not only possible, it is essential. And TLE is deeply committed to ensuring that as we design world-class and memorable experiences for our guests, we do so in a way that celebrates the ecosystems – both natural and societal – around us, respects its needs, and approaches practices with respect, empathy, and longevity.

Our Portfolio

Currently in operations across South India, Tamara Leisure Experiences is a growing organisation, with many additional properties in the immediate pipeline. Whether a nature resort, a business hotel, a mid-segment property, or an Ayurvedic hospital, the essential unifying factor in all our hospitality endeavours is the attention to responsibility and sustainability.
