Overview
Mysore, is now home to one of the finest Resort Spas. It offers the finest of new world luxury in an ambience that befits its place in the East. Quaint cottages in Balinese style,all looking out to a calming body of water, tall, gently swaying coconut palms and the wind bringing in the fragrance of fresh blossoms. The Windflower Spa and Resort is located on 10 acres of greenery at the foot of the sacred Chamundi Hill. It is close to a forest reserve and is therefore blessed with rich flora and fauna. The resort is set amidst serene surroundings far from the noise and pollution of the city. Much emphasis is placed on the design of the resort to cultivate a sense of calm and relaxation.
The Stay
The wind rustles through the coconut trees, casting a ripple on the
reflection of the crescent moon. Look up from your rocking chair, as the
clouds clear to reveal the majestic Chamundi hills.
And then, look in. Not just at your palatial bed awaiting
you after an hour-long hot oil massage, or at your outdoor dip pool,
but into a space deep within. And know that you are in a place of utter
contentment. Where each guest is treated like a king, and each of the 39
rooms is a personal palace to meditate on.
