Evolve Back Hampi

Hampi


Seriously stylish new place with stunning accommodation. Book a terrace suite for maharaja-size space, including your own hot tub. The grounds are gorgeous, the staff kindly and efficient, and the facilities good. As it's isolated, around 6km from the Royal Centre, consider a half-board package. Book via the resort's website for the best deal.
