History & Story
Located close to the historical ruins of Hampi (once described as the best provided city in the world) where no examples of their secular architecture remains intact today, we have tried to recreate the palaces of the Rayas based on the few remaining structures and computer reconstructed images done by eminent archeologist. The experiences at the property use the medium of creative storytelling to inform and educate our guests on the history and culture of Hampi.
