Evolve Back Hampi

After being to the other 2 hotels of Orange county resorts, this was always on the cards, and it definitely turned out to be as expected, maybe a bit beyond our expectations. Right from check-in, we were taken care of pretty warmly. The Jal Mahal rooms were really impressive. The house keeping (I am sorry I forgot the name of those 4 guys) did a wonderful job for my wife's Birthday decor and otherwise too. Loved the property overall and really looking forward to another trip to Hampi. The food in the restaurant is one thing I feel they could improve, especially by adding more options. Shiva, in the restaurant was there to help us get what we needed.

My family and I stayed at Evolve Back, Hampi in August 2024. It's part of the Orange County properties. Probably one of the most exceptional stays we've ever had. We were a group of 5 adults and 2 Kids. Weather wise it is the best time to visit Hampi as it wasn't too hot. Architecture: The resort has been styled according to the Vijayanagra era which is a blend of Dravidian and Deccan Islamic Styles. It is one of the most beautiful looking resorts I've ever been to. From the moment you approach the resort you truly feel like you are in a palace which exudes luxury. The place has beautifully laid out airy corridors as well as a nice courtyard in the middle. Royal Welcome: As soon as we arrived, we were greeted by the reception desk with flowers, kumkum and refreshing drinks. A wonderful gesture that made us feel at home especially after a long drive from Bangalore (approx 7 hrs). Facilities: The resort is well equipped with 2 swimming pools. One for adults and the other for kids. The adult pool especially is very well designed like an infinity pool. The resort also has a library and an excellent gift shop with unique handicrafts. Dining: We ate one night at Bahmani restaurant which is a blend of Nawabi cuisine. Every item tasted exceptional. The overall experience was lovely. We also ate at the Tuluva restaurant which is multi-cuisine for both Breakfast and Dinner. The food served was just as good. Service: This is where Evolve Back, Hampi really trumps. Every staff whether it is a receptionist, a waiter or even housekeeping, they all treat you very kindly and respectfully. There isn't anything that is too much to ask for anyone at the resort. For them customer service is paramount. I would definitely recommend visiting Evolve Back, Hampi. A good friend of ours has already booked a trip based on my feedback.

Excellent service provided by Evolve Back team especially room reservations and concierge service. Special thanks to Mr.Mohammed Ammar Evolve Back hotel Manager & Team. Especially we appreciate Buffet lunch with our finalized Menu for our team.

We felt pampered every bit of our time spent here at Evolve Back, Hampi. I was surely expecting an amazing experience but I am leaving this place with so much more!! We created so many brilliant memories here with everyone working at the resort pampering us all the time. They left no stone unturned to get things done for our convenience. Thanks to you for the smoothest, happiest stay around. Please convey my warm regards to Bipin and team - Thanush, our POC for all requests and the most amazing Chefs - Head Chef and Prakash for delectable south Indian delicacies. I loved their team cakes too! Vijaynagar thali is a must try! We had the most luxurious trails with offbeat experiences with historian Santhosh with food and drinks provided after a long walk to heritage trails. So many surprises through the 3 days stay... totally loved our experience! Highly recommended.

This beautiful resort appeared like a miracle after many miles of driving from Hubli. My accommodations were superb - king-size bed and a giant tub with a view of the infinity pool. The daily breakfast and dinner buffets offered a great variety of Indian food. Servers and managers were all too happy to explain to an American traveler what each selection was and how it was prepared. I tried as many new dishes as I could. I regret that I could not fit a visit to the hotel's restaurant into my schedule. Suggestion for future guests on a tight schedule: be sure to reserve a 7:30 seating in the restaurant as soon as possible if you are only staying for two days. The highlight of a trip to Hampi is of course the vast unforgettable 500-year-old ruins. I had the pleasure of taking three tours with the hotel's resident historian Ramesh. We visited the royal enclosure, and viewed the stunning Lotus Mahal ('Palace of Lotuses') and Stone Chariot. No visit to Hampi would be complete without seeing the Monkey Temple (overrun with monkey mothers and babies!) and the 7th-century Virupaksha Temple. Ramesh had an answer to every question I had about the historical sites or the Hindu religion. I had a wonderful time. Lastly be sure to sample the bountiful perfectly ripe mangos! We don't get those in the US.

Just returned from one of the most splendid and enjoyable holidays at an eco-conscious resort that left no stone unturned in making our stay memorable. From the moment we arrived, greeted with flower showers on our car, to the luxurious yet sustainable design of the 40-room property—every detail was thoughtfully curated.
