The Windflower Resort & Spa Mysore

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 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.
