Vijayshree Resort and Heritage Village, Hampi

Surprise your elders with a trip to ancient India, all thanks to our magnificent partner resort - Vijayshree Resort and Heritage Village.

And it is deemed to be one of the eco-friendly and specially abled friendly resorts in the South! 43 woodland cottages make up the premise and sit alongside rolling lawns, a stunning swimming pool, a club house, a spa, a coffee shop, a helipad and entertainment area. Interesting fact – the design layout is based on the philosophy of Pancha Bhoota i.e., the five elements of earth, fire, wind, water and sky. In staying true to the Satvik Indian lifestyle, the historic hamlet serves pure vegetarian meals and non-alcoholic beverages. Which means, a complete and thorough cleanse for the system. Speaking of which, the Nirvana Spa is an abode for the mind, body and soul.

And for those cuppa cravings, the coffee shop offers a one-of-kind experience with its blissful dawning mist, splendid hills, and chirping birds.

Isn’t that wonderful? ‘Comfortable luxury living’, your family is promised exceptional hospitality with every single offering. Be it a delicious meal comprising of dreamy chicken stew and fluffy appams. Or a spa treatment that ranges from a relaxing yoga session, to a soothing massage, to holistic nutritional advice.
