Set at the foot of Mount Arunachala, this tranquil, non-smoking resort occupies a stone, grass-roofed complex, is 8 km from Tiruvannamalai Station.
The rooms and suites feature mountain views and rustic-chic style (stone walls, high-end fixtures). All also offer flat-screen TVs, Wi-Fi and minifridges, plus tea and coffeemaking facilities. Room service is available 24/7.
The resort, built with sustainable materials, features a vegetarian restaurant, an outdoor pool and spa treatments. Other amenities include a gym, a game room and a garden with lounge areas. A doctor is on call. Activities such as yoga and meditation classes are available.
We happened to find this resort just after Tiruvannamalai town - on the highway - while on the way to Chidambaram. We were quite hungry and decided to try this place out for a quick lunch. Turned out to be a good decision.
The dining place was well inside the resort, which has a lot of landscaping done well. The place had both ' a la carte' and a buffet - only vegetarian. We took the buffet which had a good spread and was quite tasteful. Definitely worth visiting when you are around there. The resort looks good for stay too with cottage like rooms.

I recently visited this beautiful resort, and while I loved the lush greenery and stunning surroundings, my experience was slightly let down by the staff's attitude. The activities offered were great initiatives, but the staff handling these activities seemed unfriendly and not very enthusiastic. Some activities felt more like a tick-box exercise rather than a genuine experience. However, the food was exceptional, with a wide variety of delicious options. Overall, the resort has tremendous potential, but a focus on staff training and hospitality could elevate the experience to match its beautiful setting.

Stayed with family during the weekend and it turned out to be one of most peaceful stay with nature surrounding, fun activities for kids and specially food (Only Veg) which was really really good..!! Just one suggestion may be staffs can be even more friendly with all guest. I can see few staffs were busy handling selected guests which they can improve upon. Will surely visit them again..!!

I stayed at your property from October 6th to October 8th, but I had to check out early on October 7th due to hygiene issues in the room.
Upon check-in, I noticed that the bed sheets had hair on them, indicating they had not been changed before my arrival. This raised serious concerns about cleanliness and hygiene standards. Additionally, the strong smell of cleaning liquid in the room was overwhelming and unpleasant. For a resort that promotes itself as eco-friendly, I would also expect the use of eco-conscious cleaning products that are safe and gentle.
When I checked out early, the front desk staff did not even ask why I was leaving before my scheduled departure, which was quite unprofessional.
Given that I had prepaid for my stay but could not continue due to hygiene issues beyond my control, I believe it is fair to request a refund for one night's stay. While guests are charged upfront, hotels also have a responsibility to maintain basic cleanliness and comfort standards -- and to respond appropriately when those standards are not met.
