The 5 best resorts in Ooty

There are several luxury hotels and resorts in Ooty, one of south India's most loved hill stations. These range from heritage properties for the history buffs and farm-stays for the nature lovers. Given the presence of Ooty resorts and cottages, each one better than the other, there’s another good reason to spend a long vacation in the Southern hill station. At the Savoy Hotel by Taj, the 19th century inspired cottage will win you over with their refined architecture and interior décor. The accommodations will usher you mentally to the bygone centuries when life was pretty relaxed in contrast to the hectic lifestyle of the city dwellers of today. Have your meals at the elegant dining room and a glass of local tipple or a rare variety you fancy at the on-site English-style bar, and also check out the tea lounge for your fix of a hot cuppa — or, in the colder months, sit near the fireplace with a warm stole and a nice book or that significant other. Patrons of leisure and delight can look forward to book an accommodation at Destiny the Farmstay, the King’s Cliff or Sinclairs Retreat. It is an indescribable experience to stay at these best resorts that Ooty has to offer. All of these resorts in Ooty also include restaurants, so that allows you the convenience of relishing some delish local food popular down South without stepping out of the hotel. North Indian vacationers craving for North Indian, Chinese and continental food can also find good eats on the menu here. At Destiny the Farmstay, the joy of going for nature walks, treks and getting oneself acquainted with vegetable farming is a memory worth cherishing if you happen to be an adorer of Mother Nature. Charming views of the nearby valley and the green hills are a part of the large bouquet of sweet surprises these properties offer to their guests.
