“God lies in the details, waiting to be discovered”, is the thought that has inspired CGH Earth from the very beginning, and the non-negotiable core values of Environmental Sensitivity, benefitting community and being local have always been our constant guide. These values provide, not just the invisible pillars on which their efforts stand, but also serve as daily inspirations, made visible in a hundred little details. What began as a small hotel catering to the local Port’s visitors in 1957, has evolved into a large experiment in a form of tourism that’s immersive, yet respectful of nature and local ethos. Over the years, with 15 unique holiday experiences and 4 wellbeing and curative retreats created across Southern India, this boutique chain discovered themselves through nature and community. Learnt, that less is more. That luxury lies in simplicity. And that reality is more enchanting than fantasy. CGH Earth offers guests a string of experiences that are pure, unexpected and inspiring. It is true when they say that it is these details that collectively create the singular mosaic that is a CGH Earth Experience.
