Set amongst the stunning boulder-strewn landscape, Evolve Back Kamalapura Palace is located just four kilometres from the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Hampi. Step inside its fort-like entrance to discover arched hallways, regal chambers, ornate architecture, landscaped gardens and opulent interiors that mirror the famed palaces of a glorious era.
There are four types of suite, each exuding luxury and understated elegance that permeates the resort’s Indo–Islamic style. The spacious and elegantly designed guest rooms feature separate living, sleeping and dining areas, a large en suite bathroom and a balcony with private Jacuzzi. Some suites boast their own open courtyard and deck overlooking a private pool – the perfect setting for an intimate dinner.
There are two pools: a family pool and an Olympic-sized infinity pool, which is exclusively for adults and overlooks the stunning landscape. The resort also has a Spa, where trained physicians and masseurs can prescribe a customised regimen suited to your specific needs. When it comes to dining, both the Bahmani and the Tuluva restaurants promise a fine selection of continental and Indian cuisine in a breathtaking setting. But for a truly memorable experience, savour a private four-course meal in a ‘Mantapa’ overlooking the lotus pond and the Infinity Pool.
