The Tamara Coorg

The Tamara Coorg

The Tamara Coorg is a 181-acre luxury eco-resort in the Western Ghats (3,500+ ft) designed to balance luxury with nature. Founded in 2012 by Shruti Shibulal, it features 50+ alpine-style cottages nestled within functioning coffee, cardamom, and pepper plantations. The resort emphasizes sustainability, offering immersive nature experiences, such as treks, forest therapy, and farm-to-table dining. 

Key Aspects of The Tamara Coorg's Story:

• Eco-Luxury Philosophy: The resort is designed to integrate into the landscape rather than dominate it, using sustainable materials and practices, including a no-plastic policy and an in-house waste management program, "Manthan".
• Location and Design: Situated near Virajpet, the resort is built on a 184-acre estate, with 52+ cottages designed for privacy and views, featuring, in many cases, wood construction and private sun decks.
• Immersive Experiences: Guests engage in activities like guided plantation tours, bird watching, hiking to the Manjemotte peak, or relaxing with spa treatments.
• Coffee Journey: As part of a working plantation, the resort offers a "blossom to cup" experience, highlighting the local culture of Coorg.
