Amanvana Spa Resort is a family resort in Kushalnagar, Coorg, on the banks of the River Kaveri. Each family gets a private bungalow with its own courtyard. The days are spent between the pool, the river islands and the orchard, and Nisargadhama, the Golden Temple and Dubare Elephant Camp are all within 25 minutes.
Why Families Choose Amanvana
A Bungalow of Your Own
Private 540 sq ft one-bedroom bungalows with a king bed, a sofa-cum-pullout bed, a courtyard with a lotus pond and a sunken stone bathtub under a skylight. No shared walls, so children can be children.
A River to Explore
Eight small islands sit along the Kaveri around the resort. Walk the Eight Island River Trek with a guide (1.5 to 2 hours), or take a picnic basket packed by our kitchen to one of the islands.
Space to Run Around
An orchard with over 300 varieties of fruit trees, around 40 species of birds, cycling, a putting green and indoor and outdoor games. The outdoor pool has a waterfall and is set in the gardens, and breakfast is served by the pool.
Food for Every Age
The Rainbow Room overlooks the Kaveri and serves lunch from 12:30 to 3:30 pm and dinner from 7:30 to 10:30 pm. The menu runs from Kodava specialities like pandi curry and bamboo shoot curry to biryani, aloo kofta and homemade coconut halwa. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free food is available on request, and in-room dining runs 24 hours. Riverside barbeques can be arranged on request.
