Coffee Estate Resort in Chikmagalur

Chikmagalur is where coffee first came to India, so staying inside a coffee estate is the most natural way to experience it. Tranquil Terrain is a boutique coffee estate resort in Chikmagalur, on the Mullayanagiri side of the hills, with eleven private villas set among old coffee rows, silver oaks and pepper vines.

What a coffee estate resort feels like

You wake up to birdsong and mist sitting low over the plantation. The coffee plants start right where your deck ends. After breakfast our team takes you on a walk through the estate, where you see arabica and robusta growing under shade trees and learn how the beans in your cup are grown, picked and dried. Evenings end with hi-tea, a bonfire and light music.

Why guests choose Tranquil Terrain

• Private villas, not rooms. Each of our six villa styles has its own colour story, an open-sky shower and a private balcony. See all villas.
• A private pool for couples. Our Haven villas have their own bio leisure pool.
• Close to the hills. Mullayanagiri is 14 km away. Chandra Drona Parvatha, Jhari Falls and Hirekolale Lake are all within an hour.
• Everything that matters is included. Breakfast, evening hi-tea, the estate walk, bonfire and light music come with every stay.
• Quiet by design. No parties or loud events, just the sounds of the estate.

Seasons on a coffee estate

Every season changes the estate. Between November and February the coffee cherries turn red and you may see pickers at work. In March and April, after the first rain, the plants flower white for a few days and the air smells of jasmine. During the monsoon the estate is at its greenest and mist rolls through all day.

Choosing the right villa

Couples usually pick the Suite, Retreat or Haven. Two couples or a family of four are comfortable in Twin Lotus or Twin Peaks. For six, the duplex Seren Manor keeps everyone together. The whole resort sleeps up to 30, which suits family get-togethers and friends’ reunions.
