Cultural Contrasts
Adventure with a touch of luxury on this unusual and varied holiday to Oman and India's Karnataka state.
Located just a short drive from Hampi’s stunning UNESCO World Heritage Site, Evolve Back provides luxury, palace-like accommodation in a relaxing boulder-strewn landscape. With extravagant fort-style entrances, arching hallways and towering, tiered rooftops, the property reflects the palaces of a once glorious bygone era in Hampi.
The property maintains a regal, grandiose feel with spacious, well-kept grounds and luxurious facilities. Expect quality service, dining and attentive staff. There are two restaurants offering a selection of fresh Indian and continental cuisines, as well as Vijayanagar dishes native to the region. However, due to the idyllic location, there are no alternative restaurants nearby. After exploring the ruined temple complexes and giant boulders of Hampi for the day, relax with invigorating Ayurvedic spa treatments, in the expansive infinity pool or with a book in the reading lounge.
Drawing inspiration from the Vijayangaran Empire’s heritage and architecture style, rooms combine both historical elegance and modern luxury. Four types of suites are on offer, differing in size, all fit with elegant furnishings, artwork, plush bedding, sitting areas and window seats. The bathrooms are perhaps just as extravagant and large, with jacuzzis in either the room or balcony, along with large bathtubs and double vanities. All suites have a water filter too, a great step for environmental conservation. Hopefully, more properties in India will follow suit.
This luxurious property doesn’t come cheap and the design could possibly be a bit too extravagant for those looking for a more minimalistic style of accommodation. It is not small either. However, luxury comes at a price and it must be noted that this is the closest property to the UNESCO site of Hampi.
Deluxe - This is our first really 'upmarket' category. It might be a beautiful tiny hotel with very limited facilities or a 5* resort hotel with all the trimmings; but any hotel in this category will be a well-run establishment with very comfortable rooms, a strong service ethos and excellent food.
