It is one of the residences of the Royal Ghorpade family of Sandur and albeit built in modern style, still retains the quiet magnificence of a long-lost period where architecture, art and culture formed a unified whole.
Seclude Hampi is located in Sandur near the ancient ruins of Hampi and serves as a very calm and peaceful counterpoint to the UNESCO World Heritage site. Built in a local style, it features beautiful stonework, hand-carved woodwork and furniture made by skilled artisans. The property is surrounded by open gardens and palm trees, creating a peaceful environment that not only highlights the royal charm but also gives a nature-like feel.

It evokes the guests to take a break and get saturated with the rhythms of Hampi’s glorious past that is decorated with art, nature and the everlasting warmth of a true Seclude experience.
