Eco-Conscious Design and Architecture
At Hoysala Village Resort, we seamlessly blend eco-conscious design with practicality to enhance your stay. High ceilings and eco-friendly materials, like Indian Mahogany wooden ceilings and rooftop tiles, keep rooms comfortably cool year-round. Our commitment to sustainability extends to using excavated soil for brick blocks, repurposing rehabilitated wood, and crafting thatched roofs from locally sourced coconut fronds. The natural insect-repellent properties of Indian Mahogany wood help us minimise chemical pesticides, while deep-rooted trees stabilise the soil and prevent erosion. Our natural lighting solutions ensure bright, airy spaces with minimal energy use.

Eco-Friendly Operations
At Hoysala Village Resort, we're dedicated to maintaining a clean and healthy environment with minimal chemicals. We use natural neem and lemongrass oils for room disinfection, enhancing your stay with eco-friendly aroma solutions. Our commitment to sustainability extends to educating both staff and guests on mindful practices, such as reducing linen changes and optimising energy use. Enjoy a refreshing, natural atmosphere that promotes both wellness and environmental responsibility.

Environmental Stewardship
Sustainability remains at the heart of our operations at Hoysala Village Resort. Our bee-focused initiative is dedicated to protecting bee habitats and fostering essential pollination, which is crucial for maintaining the health of our gardens and flowers. We also prioritise rainwater harvesting, with thoughtfully designed pathways that channel rainwater to a central lake, enhancing groundwater levels and preventing erosion. This approach not only sustains our lush surroundings but also ensures effective water management across the property. By installing low-flow fixtures and dual flush toilets, and creating a 1.5-acre man-made lake, we've significantly improved our water table, showcasing our commitment to efficient water use.

Traditional and Organic Practices
At Hoysala Village Resort, our commitment to sustainability shines through our use of traditional recycling methods like Jeevamrutha, which combines cow dung, cow urine, pulses flour, and jaggery to produce nutrient-rich compost and manure. This natural practice, supported by our sacred cow Lakshmi, enriches the soil with essential micro-organisms, enhancing its fertility and disease resistance. Jeevamrutha is both cost-effective and beneficial for maintaining balanced soil conditions, reflecting our dedication to eco-friendly practices and environmental stewardship.
