Amanvana Spa Resort, Coorg

No. 21, Guddehosur, Kushalnagar, 571234 Kushālnagar, India

Guest reviews: 8.6

HOTEL OVERVIEW

You know what really gets me about Amanvana? It’s one of those places where you pull up and immediately think “okay, this is going to be good” – and then it actually delivers. Tucked away in Guddehosur (honestly, I had to ask three locals how to pronounce it properly), this resort sits right on the Kaveri River, and I mean *right* on it. We’re talking about waking up to the sound of water flowing past your villa, not some distant highway noise that half the “riverside” places in Coorg try to pass off as nature sounds.

The whole setup feels deliberately un-hotel-like, if that makes sense. Instead of cramming rooms into a building, they’ve scattered these individual villas across the property, each one designed like a traditional Coorgi home but with all the modern stuff you actually want – proper air conditioning, rainfall showers, and beds that don’t make you miss your mattress at home. The spa part isn’t just a side business either; they’ve got this whole Ayurvedic thing going on with treatments that use local ingredients. I’m usually skeptical about resort spas (overpriced and underwhelming), but their therapists actually seem to know what they’re doing. The 8.6 rating makes perfect sense when you realize they’re not trying to be everything to everyone – they’ve picked their lane and executed it really well.

What sold me completely was the food situation. The restaurant sources ingredients from local Coorg farms, and you can actually taste the difference. Their pork curry uses authentic Coorg spices, not the watered-down version most places serve tourists, and their coffee – well, you’re in coffee country, so it better be good, and it absolutely is. The staff mentioned they work directly with plantation owners in the area, which explains why everything tastes so fresh. Check-in was smooth (no standing around for 20 minutes while they “prepare your room”), and parking is right there, no valet nonsense. The only thing that might catch you off guard is how quiet it gets at night – I mean properly quiet, not city quiet. If you’re used to urban background noise, bring earplugs or embrace the sound of the river. During peak season (October to March), book way ahead because they only have 14 villas, and honestly, that’s part of what makes it special. You’re not fighting crowds for pool chairs or waiting in line for anything.

Staff are very nice, We have known Krishnan from previous resort, he is very knowledgeable and guest focused.
Right in the midst of greenery, beautiful birds and sound of flowing river - couldn't have asked for better way to unwind !
The movie time in the evening were good !
Good amount of indoor games, big enough swimming pool (with separate kids pool).
Bird watching in morning was a great addition, very knowledgeable person too they have!
Too bad the river was flowing strong and the trek was not allowed, we will definitely visit again next time !
Food is tasty.

Stayed here for a family getaway for 4 days. The property is located away from the hustle-bustle of Madikeri. Although it is located on the Mysore-Madikeri road, the property will surprise the guests with its serene ambiance as soon as they enter the property. Quick shopping @Kushalnagar for all that we forget is convenient 😊.

Inside the property, each villa is beautifully constructed with loads of flora and fauna around with standard amenities and maintained clean. The service staff were available around the clock, very courteous and friendly. They do their best to help the guests. As part of the booking, the guests were offered a nature walk, bird watching, and their own coffee plantation visit (it is possible to see peacocks, a lot of giant spiders, and crocs, if lucky) at fixed times. All of them are worth an attempt as these are exclusively offered to Amanvana guests at no extra cost. The guide was very friendly and shared some interesting information. Guests can also walk along a small Cauvery tributary if it is not raining heavily.

Visiting with family or friends – the swimming pool in front of the restaurant is an excellent time kill. Be sure to have the basic swimsuits if interested in jumping in. Also, they have some recreational facilities (foosball, snooker, carrom, badminton) in a small place. During our stay, there was also a screening of a movie every evening. So, something for everyone! 😊

Restaurant – morning breakfast had a lot of options. A la carte menu is available – a bit expensive - be ready for a biggie 😊. I booked through Booking.com, so only the free breakfast option was available at the time of booking. At the property, I found that guests can book the buffet option for all three meals – which sounds like a good deal – as it lets you explore a whole host of dishes. So, I paid extra at the property and got it converted. Nevertheless, I must say that the longer the stay, the more easily you get bored with the buffet, though!

The staff at the hotel are excellent, particularly Diwakar at the restaurant. Speaking of the restaurant, the food was excellent. The buffet lunches and dinners were good value for money, and had a great range of dishes. I went to Amanvana for some rest and relaxation and that’s exactly what I had!
