Halez Sparsa Thiruvannamalai♡

A quiet retreat

8.0

A very pleasant hotel and Spa but is a bit pretentious in what it's trying to be. They need to keep it simple. The rooms are good and simple, the food is good, the facilities are good. There is no need for them to go with Astrologer who sits there all evening in the mosquitos and a high end shop that sits empty.

Best Place to Stay in Thiruvanamalai

Stayed 2 nights at Sparsa Thiruvanamalai and it was a truly memorable experience. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the property felt just like home. Surrounded by nature, it has a beautiful eco-friendly vibe. There are plenty of activities for guests, such as pottery and bullock cart rides, which made the stay even more special. The food was good, rooms were spacious and clean, and overall it was a unique experience. Definitely recommend this place when visiting Thiruvanamalai.

My week end Tryst at Sparsa Resort @ Thiruvannamalai!

I pen these words even as I am relaxing in the cool comfort of my weekend cottage at Sparsa Resort at Thiruvannamalai !, As one who has has been a traveller to Thiruvannamalai in pursuit of spiritual awakening, Ramanashramam has become a sort of haven to know " Who I am ," for how many years I dont recall . I have always stayed at the Ashram guest house in the past which would be clean and spartan in utilities but quite comfortable, but with No ac facilities. In summer it can be quite difficult for Sr citizens to manage and choosing the cooler months of November to February would make more sense . But then its also a peak season , when foreign devotees and travellers come calling to Thiruvannsmalai and getting accommodation at Ashram can be difficult. So, I became a seeker of a hotel or a resort to stay at my convenient time with Ac comfort , a few years ago for a perfect place to stay during my annual pilgrimage to Thiruvannamalai ! I am glad I did find the best place then, to stay with family and friends called the " Sparsa Resort " " Change " is understood as the only thing that is permanent in this World or Prapancham ! But time appears to stand still If one gets into an euphoric state thanks due to Immediate people you meet or your finding a Perfect place to stay ,that vibrates in resonance with your persona. I pen these words even as I relax in the cool comfort of my weekend retreat cottage at Sparsa Resort at Thiruvannamalai, where to me time still stands still . The warm welcome & friendly Cool Comfort with sathvic food and above all the hospitality of GM LakshmiNaraynan and Chef Mathivanan and their staff hasn't changed at all !, As stated above change is the permanent thing in the world and Thiruvannamalai town too is no exception to the changes . These days the town witnesses a sea of humanity moving in from.other states like Andhra and with that comes growth leading to to huge number of bustling cars, trucks, buses , motor bikes ,shops ,shops and more shops and new structures in temples forms not to forget huge commercial buildings too that are now adorning every nook and corner of this small town I must confess that this once a quite spiritual town has become yet another buzzing commercial centre with spirituality getting lost somewhere amidst all this buzzing!!. Herein comes forth , The Sparsa Resort a wonderfully crafted resort amongst verdant fully grown trees well manicured lawns ,a swimming Pool and backed by a good 24 hour restaurant stand by power ! The cottages built of granite blocks fully air-conditioned and with all modern comfort creatures ensures, one to retire to after a tiring trips to the famous temples or Ahrams that abound in the busy town roads Of Thiruvannamalai. Sparsa has been around for some years now serving the devotees to this spiritual town , offering the best accommodation with abundant population of peacocks while offering other activities to travellers like Yoga ,Ayurvedic massage , recreation centre like any other resort but with one fundamental rule to be followed implicitly and strictly - No alcohol No drugs policy . They have 36 deluxe rooms and 2 super deluxe rooms and one suite . With tariff ranging form 7500+ tax to Rs 13000+ tax But one needs to book well in advance to ensure they get to stay here and enjoy their genuine hospitality in star comfort - like home away from home but far away from the ever increasing maddening crowds and plethora off all hues of vehicles but yet close to the Ashrams for persueing one's spiritual visits !
