Taj Madikeri Resort & Spa, Coorg

Amazing property and the stretch of property is huge. The villas are secluded and have privacy. The view from the property is great. The staff is very jolly and helpful. Thank you Taj for the hospitality

Maybe this is designed for domestic tourists who like air conditioned closed off rooms but I like to be outside connecting with nature. When we went to our room we couldn’t believe there was no outside area to sit and admire the view. In the evening we went for a drink in the bar. Again, an air conditioned box. Luckily there was an outside terrace in the restaurant but you can’t book this to make sure you are outside. The next day we settled by the outside pool at the bottom of the hill and asked for a drink. Guess what, if we wanted anything other than water we had to go back up to an air conditioned box!

Location is good. But, it is far off from main city. We visited one of the restaurants of this hotel (which is near to the swimming pool) for dinner on 13 Feb. Food and atmosphere was good. It is nicely maintained neat and clean. We had ordered for food and cocktails. Cocktails were not properly made and were served late. Service was sloppy. Overall, experience wasn’t good.

The ambience, hospitality, food everything was really good... The hotel staff, Saadhya worked like a spoc to all our needs and was very caring .... all the staffs were gentle...overall very good experience

This wasn't a visit. Coorg continues to hold me quietly beyond our time there We arrived at Taj Madikeri Resort & Spa on the glowing recommendation of family who had stayed here barely twenty days before us. They recommended that we plan to be there in so many different ways, and yet, nothing they said quite prepared us for the immersiveness that awaited us. From the very first moment, the paperless check-in felt less like a formality and more like being gently received into a sacred space. We had originally booked a cottage, but to our absolute delight, were upgraded upon arrival to one of the luxury pool villas — a beautiful living and dining area, spacious bedroom, a luxurious bath, and of course, the private pool and all spaces looking out into endless green. It became our quiet sanctuary for the next four days. The Taj Madikeri experience thoughtfully connects you to its surroundings. The guided forest walk and the morning hike with naturalist Nithin was one of the highlights of our stay. It wasn't only about exploring serene forest trails, but also gaining a deeper appreciation of Kodava culture, local ecology, and the rhythms of life in Coorg. The culinary experiences of our time there deserve special mention. Each meal rooted in place and culture. The local thali and Coorg meal experience, especially the black pork pandi curry, local vegetable curries and preparations and green rice, offered a deeply authentic taste of the region. The farm-to-fork experience was particularly memorable, a curated experience of harvesting fresh vegetables from the garden and then watching Chef Swarup transform them into vibrant salads, comforting soups, and flavourful mains. Grounding and joyful! The dinner experience at Grills with the signature Galoutis and Daal Makhani was OUTSTANDING. I was touched by the quiet touches added by Chef Raja who also thoughfully made me a Hot Toddy to nurse the cold. Even beyond the property, the team thoughtfully arranged for us to visit the Namdroling Monastery, which added a beautiful cultural dimension to our stay. The drive, the monastery, the quiet, all of it felt seamlessly woven into the experience. All of this stands on the foundation of the wonderful people who make the Taj Madikeri experience, one of its kind! Our heartfelt thanks to general manager, Mr. Vikas, Mr. Ginil and Aroopa from front office. The F&B team, Chef Raja, Chef Swarup, F&B team, Mr. Ganesh, Chef Mustafa, Manoranjan, Prem and Apurba. who brought their passion for service and hospitality to every interaction, Ms. Vidhi and Dawa from the spa - your sincerity is deeply genuine and we are touched! Throughout our stay, what stayed with us most was the feeling of restfulness and a luxury, that felt quiet and deeply grounding and humbling. We have left feeling profoundly cared for.
