Peninsula Hospitality Group has launched Peninsula Del Mar, a 25-acre luxury beachfront resort near Yermal Beach, strengthening its presence in Karnataka’s leisure hospitality market.
Located around 45 minutes from Mangalore International Airport, the resort sits along the Arabian Sea, with greenery surrounding the property on three sides. Its proposition combines luxury accommodation with dining, wellness, events and water-based experiences, positioning it across multiple demand segments rather than as a conventional beach resort.
Karunakar R. Shetty, Founder, Chairman & Director said, “Through Peninsula Del Mar, our vision was to create more than a resort; we wanted to create a destination that reflects the essence of the coast through natural beauty, architectural grandeur and meaningful experiences.”
“Peninsula Del Mar brings together luxury, wellness, dining and adventure to offer a distinctive new expression of coastal hospitality in Karnataka,” he added.
Luxury with a Coastal Outlook
The property offers ocean-view rooms and suites with private balconies, direct beach access, an infinity pool, landscaped gardens, fitness and wellness facilities, and Atmos, an exclusive lounge for suite guests.
A grand ballroom and expansive ocean-facing lawns extend the resort’s commercial proposition to destination weddings, corporate offsites and social events—segments that are increasingly important to large-format leisure properties.
The resort’s flagship dining venue, SOL by the Sea, combines global flavours with locally sourced produce, fresh seafood and artisanal preparations.
Its ocean-facing location and relaxed format are designed to serve multiple occasions, from family dining and casual meals to sundowners and evening gatherings, making F&B an integral part of the resort experience.

Expanding the Peninsula Portfolio
For Peninsula Hospitality Group, established in 1981, the new property represents a play across several hospitality revenue and demand segments including leisure travel, F&B, weddings and events, wellness, corporate retreats and adventure-led stays.
Peninsula Del Mar is also building experiential travel into its offering through a dedicated Surf & Ocean Experience for resident guests.
Surfing programmes cater to beginner, intermediate and advanced levels, alongside kayaking, sea stand-up paddleboarding and open-water swimming. Dedicated storage, changing, briefing and recovery facilities support the programme.
The approach turns the resort’s beachfront location into an active hospitality asset, broadening its appeal to travellers looking for experiences beyond accommodation and conventional resort recreation.
With its scale, beachfront location and experience-focused positioning, Peninsula Del Mar is looking to capture growing demand for premium coastal hospitality while putting Karnataka’s coastline more firmly on the luxury leisure map.
