Poolside Deck

An Exclusive Alfresco Venue with a View

The Poolside Deck at Heritage Resort Coorg is arguably one of its most stunning features, offering an unparalleled open-air setting for special events. Situated alongside the resort's magnificent infinity pool, the deck provides a front-row seat to the breathtaking panorama of the Coorg valley. The pool's edge seems to disappear into the horizon, creating a dramatic and photogenic backdrop that is sure to leave a lasting impression on guests. This venue is all about atmosphere and exclusivity. Its intimate scale, with an estimated capacity for around 40 guests in a standing reception, makes it perfect for high-end, personal gatherings where the environment is as important as the event itself. The space comes alive in the late afternoon and evening, as the setting sun paints the sky with vibrant colors, followed by the tranquil emergence of the stars. For an event planner, the Poolside Deck is a canvas for creating truly memorable moments. It is an ideal choice for a welcome reception for a corporate retreat, a chic cocktail party, a milestone anniversary celebration, or a sophisticated sundowner event. The natural beauty of the location means minimal decoration is required to create a spectacular ambiance.

Curated Events by the Infinity Pool

Hosting an event at the Poolside Deck involves a curated experience managed by the resort's dedicated team. The space can be elegantly set up with high-top cocktail tables, lounge-style seating, and ambient lighting to create a sophisticated and relaxed atmosphere. The resort's food and beverage team can arrange for a dedicated bar service on the deck, serving a selection of premium spirits, wines, and handcrafted cocktails. This can be complemented by a service of gourmet passed appetizers and canapés, with menus designed to be easily enjoyed in a standing, mingling format. The culinary offerings can be tailored to the event's theme, from local Coorgi bites to international hors d'oeuvres. The resort's team understands the nuances of outdoor events and can advise on the best layout and flow to maximize guest comfort and enjoyment while preserving the stunning views. Given that this is a prime amenity for all resort guests, private events at the poolside are typically scheduled for specific time slots, often in the evening, to ensure exclusivity while respecting the experience of other residents. This scheduling also capitalizes on the most atmospheric time of day for an outdoor gathering.

Planning and Considerations for Poolside Events

Due to its outdoor nature, any event planned for the Poolside Deck must have weather contingencies in place. The resort's event team can help devise a backup plan, which may involve moving the event to an indoor or covered space like the restaurant or a section of the conference hall lobby in case of inclement weather. It is also important to note that as a central feature of the resort, there will be considerations regarding noise levels and event timings to maintain the peaceful environment for all guests staying at the property. Loud music or late-night parties may be restricted. The venue is best suited for events that thrive on conversation, networking, and the appreciation of a beautiful setting, rather than loud, high-energy entertainment. An event planner should embrace the venue's strengths: its incredible view, its intimate scale, and its inherent sense of luxury. By working closely with the Heritage Resort Coorg team, one can craft a sophisticated and unforgettable alfresco event that stands out as a highlight of any corporate retreat or social celebration.
