Evolve Back Kamalapura Palace, Hampi KARNATAKA
This property is an ode to the grand history of Hampi, once the capital of the mighty Vijayanagara Empire. Epitomising luxury in its regal chambers and entrances, the resort has villas built in the Vijayanagara architectural style, for instance the Jai Mahal and Zenana, a luxurious suite inspired by the queen’s quarters. The Vaidyasala Ayurveda Centre has trained physicians and masseurs, who can prescribe a customised regimen that employs remedies once favoured by kings and queens. In your spare time, familiarise yourself with the region’s rich history through one of the walks designed by the resort, relax at the softly lit Deep Mahal, sip on the resort’s signature Sidapur coffee, or indulge in a meal at one of the restaurants that offer historic dishes. evolveback.com
