amã Stays & Trails, the premium homestay brand from the Indian Hotels Company (IHCL), has added a new gem to its growing portfolio with the launch of Kuteeram in Bengaluru. Nestled within seven acres of lush greenery, this nine-cottage villa retreat offers a harmonious blend of rustic charm and mindful luxury.

Drawing inspiration from traditional rural aesthetics, Kuteeram’s architecture is a thoughtful mix of stone, brick, and lime, accentuated with vibrant coloured glass, built-in stone benches, and sculptures that bring every corner to life. At the centre of the property, a tranquil lily pond shaded by a magnificent tree invites guests to pause and reflect.

Each cottage opens up to a private deck, offering scenic views of the lush surroundings. Designed for quiet getaways and soulful reconnecting, the retreat features a spa focused on holistic wellness and a meditation hall for both guided and silent practices. The surrounding landscape encourages nature walks and birdwatching, offering guests a deeper connection with the environment.

Not far from the retreat, Hesaraghatta Lake provides another peaceful escape, perfect for morning strolls and wildlife spotting.

Dining at Kuteeram is an intimate and flavourful experience, showcasing the culinary richness of Karnataka. Guests can relish favourites like crispy masala dosas with coconut chutney, Mangalore fish curry, and traditional sweets such as Mysore pak, all served in a warm and welcoming communal space.

With this addition, amã Stays & Trails continues its commitment to offering authentic, immersive homestays that blend local heritage, thoughtful design, and soulful hospitality.
