Honeydewwz Resort, Your Answer to Where to Stay in Chikmagalur

When the rain starts pouring in the Western Ghats of Karnataka, you can’t just stop dreaming about driving through the green hills wrapped in a misty blanket. In this marshy land, the only music you would hear is that of mother nature. The only alarm you would wake up to is the cacophony of the birdsongs paired with the scenic vistas. The never-ending drizzles, the ever-wafting fragrance of the wildflowers and the skyline decked up with mountains lure the nature lovers to this land aptly named as ‘Malenadu’.

What more do we need for a perfect vacation! Umm, wait, a cozy cottage, flavourful food and a few cups of freshly brewed coffee? Yea, that’s all I need in this abode of rains. And Honeydewwz Resort, Chikmagalur seemed like a perfect choice for its convenient location and luxurious comforts in the lap of nature.

About Honey Dewzz

It is one of the best resorts in Chikmagalur. It probably has everything you dream about right amidst the tranquility of acres of coffee and pepper plantation. From indoor swimming pools to a massive kids’ play area, Honeydewwz Exotica has something for everyone. Sounds like a perfect place for a family vacation, doesn’t it?

Comfortable Cottages

Their Linai Suites flanked along a beautiful garden are nothing less than a little fairytale town. The aesthetic lighting at night just makes them look prettier. I also loved their spacious rooms with custom-made minimal décor. However, the best part is that their rooms are equipped with a WiFi router. If you are one of those planning for a workation, this Chikmagalur Resort should be your first choice.

Another thing we loved about this resort was the importance given to safety and hygiene. They would sanitize all the luggage upon your arrival and would also check your temperature before letting you to the reception desk.

Custom-made for the families

Their Heritage Suites are perfectly suitable for an outing of the extended families together. A separate common area, dining area and the artfully decorated rooms would let you have a break from the monotonous interiors of the city homes. The elegant touch of the Malnad style of architecture gives you a glimpse of a ‘Malnad Mane’, the beautiful homes of Malnad.

The resort has even gone out of their way to help the parents travelling with their young kids. They have appointed baby-sitting staff near their play-area. Here, the babies could be left to play freely under the supervision of their trained staff. This, in my personal opinion, is a great effort. So, if you are a couple looking for some relaxation and break from the tiring task of parenthood you must head straightaway to Chikmagalur and book your stay at Honeydewwz Resort.

Moreover, the garden canopies, indoor game station and swimming pool could be the best place for the families to bond over some games and music.

Grand Suites for Couples

Their brand-new addition in this grand property has jaw-dropping vistas and exceptional luxury experiences. Private hot tubs, balconies and king-sized beds redefine luxury in this land of hills. These suites are perfectly designed for couples.

After a long drive from Bangalore, Honeydewwz Exoticaa felt like the right choice for our weekend trip to the land of coffee. Located not too far from the Kaimara junction, it is easily accessible without having to drive anywhere off the road. Day trips to the beautiful waterfalls of Kalathigiri, Hebbe and Shanthi falls become way easy from this resort. The falls combined with a spectacular sunset at Kemmnagundi is a perfect day-long exploration plan. Even a 31 km of scenic drive to Mullayangiri early in the morning would be a great idea.

Food - Restaurant

From the Malnad style ‘Soppu Saru’ and ‘Pepper Chicken’ to the fancy Paneer dishes, their restaurant serves everything with an aesthetically appealing presentation. Don’t forget to try their Malnad and Chettinad style cuisine during your visit. Also, don’t forget to specially ask for their ‘Fried Ice-cream’. You can thank me later for this suggestion 😊

A Café to Chillout over a Cup of Coffee

Surrounded by a meticulously maintained garden, a treehouse and the orgasmic aroma of the coffee, this cafe is altogether a different experience. Even if you don’t get a chance to stay in Chikmagalur at this beautiful resort, you must not miss having a piping hot cup of coffee at this ‘Coffee & Pepper Cafe’.

Cost

Stay at Honeydewzz cottages starts from 3500 per person including all meals and facilities. It increases based on the choice of cottages and package.
