Hampi's 5-star resorts blend the region's UNESCO-listed heritage with modern luxury. Expect landscaped grounds, outdoor pools, spa facilities, and multi-cuisine dining-often with cultural performances. Rates typically start around ₹8,000-₹15,000 per night, depending on season and inclusions. Most resorts cluster near Kamalapur or along the Tungabhadra River, within 10-30 minutes of the main temples. Book ahead during peak season (October-February) and confirm whether your stay includes breakfast or guided heritage walks.
