SAIRU Hill Resorts Limited
SAIRU Hill Resorts Limited is a hotel located on a hillside in Bandarban, Bangladesh, occupying 12 acres with panoramic views across green hills, the Shangu River valley, and the distant Bay of Bengal on clear days. The property offers different room types including Executive King, Twin, Queen, and Terrace options, plus a rustic cabin called Shimul Tola, along with a restaurant, swimming pool overlooking the landscape, and a cultural platform.
The resort was developed to honor a local tribal legend, incorporating the story of the entwined trees at Sairu Point into its name and design philosophy. Its location at the Y junction between Bandarban and Chimbuk was chosen to provide access to the natural hill region while respecting the existing topography and landscape characteristics.
The name Sairu comes from a local tribal legend about forbidden love between members of different hill communities, symbolized by two entwined trees now called Sairu Point. Visitors can experience this cultural story through the resort's design and a cultural deck where traditional music and dance performances connect guests with local customs and history.
The resort is accessible from Bandarban via a narrow, winding mountain road requiring about 40 to 45 minutes of driving, with the journey itself adding to the experience. The elevated location provides shelter from heavy monsoon rains, and the best visiting periods are October through February when air clarity allows views extending to the Bay of Bengal.
Many visitors report the remarkable experience of walking among clouds, which occurs between March and September when low mist drifts over the hills at the resort's elevation. This meteorological phenomenon makes the property sit literally within cloud cover during these months, creating an otherworldly sensation that guests often recall as a highlight of their stay.
