LUXURY HOTEL IN INDIA

The more you learn about the local culture, handicrafts and lifestyle, the deeper will be your understanding of India’s Tamil Nadu region. And the richer your holiday will be.

If your idea of an enriched holiday experience is to immerse yourself into the place you’re visiting, then you should definitely put Svatma on the itinerary of your luxury, tailor-made holiday to India.

You’ll be conveniently close to the ancient city of Tanjavur with its Chola temples featuring great towers of intricately carved figures, and its UNESCO World Heritage monuments. Brihadeeswarar Temple, for example, will literally leave you speechless with wonder. But you’ll also be staying in a piece of living Tamil Nadu history. The Svatma captures the soul of the region in its interiors, and in the range of experiences it offers. From Veda chanting by priests and Bharatanatyam and Tanjavur dancing, to demonstrations of bronze casting and lessons in the art of Tamil cookery.

“IN SAFE HANDS, EVEN WHEN PLANS CHANGE”
Every detail of our Patagonia tour was expertly arranged – from transfers and flights to the choice of hotels. When our onward flight to the Falklands was delayed by two days, The Ultimate Travel Company stepped in immediately and secured a hotel for us. It was an enormous relief, especially as we don’t speak Spanish and had no idea what to do next. That level of thoughtful, responsive service stayed with us – it turned a potential travel hiccup into a lasting positive memory.
