Vivanta by Taj – Madikeri, is quite simply a journey of lost and found. It invites you to travel to the bosom of a 180 acre living rainforest and unravel surprise after surprise in the most delightful style.
Find out how inspiration has been drawn from Coorg style houses – sloping roofs, pillars, open-to-sky entrances - mundu mane, the structural veil of kinle work. And the solid platform base of the façade for every cottage which replicates the design of the Madikeri fort. Find the harmony in the lobby façade that is inspired from the Iguthappa and Omkareshwara temples of Coorg. Don’t miss the amphi theatre inspired by the Omkareshwara temple tank. It’s awesome. Lose yourself in the pleasure of the courtyard spaces, the private plunge pools and the Jiva Grande Spa with a host of rejuvenation options: a climate controlled indoor swimming pool and another open-air, in the woods & under the stars. The 30,000 sq ft spa & wellness space sports eight private treatment rooms with their own steam & showers, a relaxation deck, a wellness café and the signature Coorg experience - Gudda bath (wood-fired bath in an outdoor pavilion).
Lose yourself in an expansive space which sits within a vibrant hill range at an altitude 4000 ft. Find a new high many times over. Explore some of the most amazing experiences which have been lost over time. Find the glory of nature at her luxurious best here. In the hills and forests with over 250 species of flora, the canopied woods, the natural spring, and among the many creature comfort delights that Vivanta by Taj helps you soak in. Find the most eco-friendly design and material which make nature and luxury co-exist in the 63 cottages, suites, villas and rooms. Don’t lose sight of nature at her best while you find how muted colours, mud paints, displaced soil and re-cycled wood, tiles and natural riverstones contribute to a seamless and undisturbed layout. One which is built around trees and not the other way round. Where no rock was displaced or hill cut, but instead built and evolved on the natural lay of the land as it has existed forever. It showcases the quintessential Coorg landscape - a rainforest canopy covering rolling hills and undulating greens breaking the monotony. Find yourself in the midst of a living and breathing rainforest at different levels of the valley offering expansive views of the landscape.

Food and drink from different corners of Asia, the Continent and India is dished up in ambiences that are as delightful as the fare. Splashes of colour, rustic touches doing a jig with contemporary motifs, past and present blending in chic modern atmospheres, and distinct music form your backdrop.
Funnily enough, the menus could very well be described the same way. Traditional cuisines and cocktails are given cheeky twists and turns by adventurous chefs and innovative mixologists and barmen who follow the credo 'surprise and delight' - you could call it the Vivanta version of 'shock and awe'.
