The last place you would expect to see a fantastic piece of architecture would be on the mystical hills of Kodai. Seven kms away from a village called Villupatti is located a splendid resort that offers a breathtaking view of the valley around. And when you see shapes like domes, leaves and ships here, you can be sure that it is not a result of hallucination, but a product of an architect’s fertile imagination.

That’s right. Every room at the Sterling Valley View Resort has a dome shaped structure. And while the hotel block is shaped like a ship, the compact block is shaped like a huge leaf and the block with the conference hall and the boardroom, shaped like a lotus.
