Family Hotel Review: Club Mahindra Resort, Coorg – Refined by Nature

Lying in the lap of nature, Club Mahindra Resort, Coorg, a luxury resort awaits, to take you into a world of comfort and luxury. Get ready to pamper yourself on your next holiday to Coorg as we review what this resort has to offer.

Madikeri known as Scotland of India, is a small quintessential district and believe me it does not disappoint. Coorg or Kodagu is a district in Karnataka and Madikeri is the district headquarters. Its misty hills, the beautiful and serene tea and coffee plantations, the aromatic spice gardens, the undulating roads make it truly captivating and rejuvenate your senses. It’s the largest producer of coffee in India and the vast coffee plantations are a sight to behold.

There is nothing more divine and fulfilling than to enjoy the rains falling over the vast expanse of wilderness, sipping on a freshly brewed cup of locally grown coffee. Club Mahindra Resort, Madikeri, Coorg lets you do just that.

The tag line of Club Mahindra is, “Luxury Resorts at Exotic Locations in India”, and it does not get more luxurious or exotic than Club Mahindra Madikeri. It’s across the street from the ordinary.

This Coorg Resort is one of the best properties of Club Mahindra. The resort located within a coffee plantation, designed in the local ‘aina mane’ tradition is huge with 220 luxurious apartments facing the plantations. This Resort is perfect for families with kids as there are many indoor and outdoor activities to keep them entertained. The adults can refresh themselves in the pool, gym and spa area.

We visited this resort in the month of July, in the monsoons, supposedly an off-season, but it was still resort fully booked.  This resort is surrounded by lush greenery, and this foliage came alive in the rains. The fresh air is a heady mix of spices and coffee and rejuvenate our senses.

Dine and Stay

Club Mahindra Resort, Coorg is a sprawling estate with 220 lavishly appointed apartments. We had earlier booked a studio room and later upgraded it to a 1 BR, so the room was huge enough for the three of us. Its comfortable enough for a family of 4 adults. The studio rooms can accommodate 3 adults and are equally luxurious. The rooms come with all the luxuries including a kitchenette. All the rooms come with an amazing view of the lush green plantations.

We didn’t get a chance to try the kitchenette as our taste buds were well satiated by the three restaurants in the resort. Do not forget to try the authentic Kodava cuisine here. The Chefs here give a personal touch to their food and fancy a dish according to your suggestions.

My personal favorite was the breakfast. Eating fresh idlis and dosas with piping hot sambar against the backdrop of heavy rains was amazing. There is also a Gym, to burn the extra calories courtesy the sumptuous food here.

Spa

Being LaidBackTravellers our holidays are relaxing and as a result the spa at this resort gave us complete pampering and relaxation. The staff is courteous and well-trained. The decor and the fragrances of the spa made us calm and we could feel all the stress immediately peel away.

Amenities

There is a host of activities both indoors and outdoors. This makes it a perfect resort for family with kids and see what a difference a stay here makes.

The outdoor activities worth a try are the river rafting, scenic trails and coffee plantations tours. Club Mahindra Resort, Coorg also has soft rope activities for kids within the resort itself. In addition to this, the resort also boasts of an area especially assigned for indoor activities thereby making it a perfect destination for family bonding time. Furthermore there is beautiful swimming pool and a separate kids pool too.
