How to choose the right resort in Coorg
For a luxury splurge or honeymoon: Evolve Back, The Tamara or Taj Madikeri — large estates with pools, spas and privacy.
For families: Club Mahindra or larger resorts with pools, activities and space for kids.
For an authentic, slower trip: a working-plantation stay or homestay, where the experience is the estate itself.
On location: stays near Madikeri suit the western sights (Abbey Falls, Raja's Seat), while those around Kushalnagar are handy for the Golden Temple, Dubare and Nisargadhama.
