43 Aug21009 Best Luxury Golf Resort - Southern India Kimmane Golf Resort is the first golfing resort of its kind, found in the beautiful countryside of South India. With luxury rooms, a massive, well-manicured and curated golf course, and a multitude of different amenities and activities that promise any guest a vacation as relaxing or active as they wish it to be, it has cultivated an atmosphere of true luxury within its walls. As Shivamogga’s first golf specific resort, Kimmane Golf Resort is an exemplary place of both leisure and sporting excellence. It invites guests to relax, get active, and enjoy a haven away from their everyday stressors in a picturesque and well-curated environment that is singularly capable of taking care of their every need, staffed by diligent, empathic people who will always go above and beyond the call of duty for a guest’s comfort. Fundamentally, being the first of its kind in the region, it has become a pioneer of this type of resort, and is proud to lead the way for South India’s leisure industry in bringing a new type of holidaymaking to the market, with courses fashioned in the manner of fun short courses seen in other luxury golfing resorts worldwide. In this way, it has absorbed into itself what the operations of its peers could teach it. This ensures that a guest can always find the best of the best, and the Kimmane Golf Terrain that directly adjoins the main resort is a massive 3236 yards of land, with a 9-hole, par 35 layout. Kimmane extends a hand towards its guests, encouraging them to explore the course, and engage with its challenge as much as its charm. To Kimmane, golfing is something that brings people together, and it is excited to be able to give holidaymakers a chance to see the truth in this, welcoming people who have never played golf before and seasoned, experienced players alike. Therefore, Kimmane’s golf provisions are all about allowing a new way for people to connect. The region of Shivamogga itself is a gateway to Malnad, positioned to be a brilliant springboard and starting point for sightseers and the adventurously minded, with the natural beauty of the area lauded by locals and visitors alike as it has been since time immemorial. With an idyllic river winding its way through palm tree studded rolling fields, well-manicured grounds nestled in the heart of nature, and a clam, serene, eco-friendly resort that allows a beautiful view of the landscape beyond, Kimmane promises that guests will find a leisure experience that exists in tandem with the world around it. Guests can book up any one of its 30 elegant, timelessly decorated deluxe rooms and suites, each fully equipped and with an outstanding view. They can enjoy meals at their leisure in one of the restaurants found on site, from the beautiful and laid-back SAA that serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well as a world-cuisine buffet, to the Spill The Beans café and Quarter Resto Bar. Kimmane, in addition, also offers the ability to take breakfast as a picnic by the lakeside, or enjoy exclusive pool-side candlelit dinners. When a guest chooses to stay 3-4 nights, they can receive a 20% off saving on food and a 15% off saving on both beverages and its intimate dining provision, something that its guests always love, and which comes with a three-course set menu. For those looking to extend their stay a little longer, guests staying 7 night or more receive the 7th night complimentary of Kimmane, with a breakfast included and including the intimate dining option. Furthermore, its facilities and amenities include an in-room minibar, hairdryer available upon request, luxury bath amenities, in-room safe deposit box, free WiFi, in-house laundry, babysitting upon request, and the relaxation and sporting offerings; this includes tennis, the swimming pool and pool bar, yoga and meditation centre, spa and salon, a fitness centre, and a recreation centre equipped with billiards, foosball, and table tennis.
