5-star hotels in Madikeri
A shortlist of the 5-star hotels in Madikeri, from spa resorts on the Galibeedu road to a villa on a coffee estate. It is for travellers who want Coorg's plantation country and hill views at the top end of the market.
Staying in Madikeri
Madikeri is a base for exploring Coorg, a region known for its coffee and spice plantations, waterfalls and viewpoints. The town has a busy market area and several heritage buildings, and visitors come for the scenery, the walks and the chance to learn about local culture, including the Kodava community. Trekking and birdwatching draw people here too, and while the weather stays pleasant, the monsoon brings heavy rain. They suit couples and families who want resort facilities, pools, spas and estate settings, and anyone planning a short break built around day trips by car, since the sights are spread out.
