Thanjavur was the Chola capital, and Svatma is its most considered address: 34 rooms arranged like a large family home, with verandas, lounges and quiet corners given over to the arts. Aaharam, the all-vegetarian restaurant, serves Tamil cuisine as plated mini meals from a display kitchen beside the pool, and alongside the spa there is a sound spa.

A resort in a coconut grove in the open countryside outside Pollachi, on the rural fringe of Coimbatore district. Rooms climb from compact executive rooms to pond-view suites and villas with plunge or private pools, with an infinity pool and The Palm restaurant at the centre. The excursions stay local, and are better for it: bullock-cart rides, handloom village visits, palm-jaggery tours.
