Evolve Back Hampi—formerly Orange County Hampi—is a palatial luxury resort designed to evoke the splendor of the 14th-century Vijayanagara Empire. Inspired by temple palaces and pushkarni (water tanks) of that era, the lodge embodies fortress-like architecture with lotus motifs, Indo-Islamic arches, rugged granite flooring, vaults, domes, and lotus-themed interiors echoing the region’s heritage.

Situated just 4 km from the UNESCO-listed ruins of Hampi, this 172,000 sq ft "palace" estate sits amid rugged terrain and rocky landscapes. With around 46 rooms and suites across four styles—including private pool villas like the expansive Jal Mahal—each suite offers separate living and sleeping areas, a private Jacuzzi, and spacious balconies.

Dining is elevated across two exceptional venues: the all-day, multi-cuisine Tuluva restaurant overlooking the infinity pool, and Bahmani, which specializes in rich, traditional Nawabi-style dishes (think Hyderabadi biryanis).

For leisure and wellness, the resort features a temple-tank-inspired infinity pool, a dedicated family pool, an Ayurvedic spa (Vaidyasala), a reading lounge, Deep Mahal for evening relaxation by candlelight, and a library lounge.
