Why we love it

"A private estate hotel in the Chikmagalur hills, surrounded by forest and its own coffee plantations, with a deliberately small number of rooms"

Urvinkaan is a private estate hotel set in the hills of Chikmagalur, surrounded by forest and coffee plantations, and it grows its own coffee.

It is a lived in estate rather than a built resort, shaped slowly over time, with architecture that follows the land instead of being imposed on it. The building works in stone, with terracotta roofs and open courtyards.

The number of rooms is deliberately limited, along with the shared spaces, to keep the place quiet and private. Each room is finished in natural materials with forest views, and the estate is presented as something to be in conversation with its surroundings rather than a hotel that happens to have a view.

Chikmagalur

A villa resort in the foothills of Mullayanagiri, Karnataka's highest peak, amid the estates that earned Chikmagalur the name of India's coffee country. Villas run from snug hideaways to a three-bedroom pool villa; there is an infinity pool aimed at the hills, and Crimson Peak, a bar perched fifty feet up in the treetops, which the resort calls the highest in Karnataka.
