Hampi, South India, India

Standing just a few kilometres from the UNESCO World Heritage Site, this is the ideal spot to relax after a busy day exploring Hampi. Its palatial style, with stone-paved boulevards, arched hallways and regal chambers has been designed to reflect the location, with an injection of modern luxury. There is a large, and very welcoming infinity pool, a world-class spa offering traditional Ayurvedic therapies and two restaurants to choose from, offering a fine selection of Indian and continental cuisine.
