With busy schedules and fast-moving city life becoming a daily reality, many couples are now looking for meaningful breaks that help them slow down and spend quality time together. Quiet surroundings, privacy, and experiences that encourage genuine connection are becoming more valuable than long-distance travel plans.

Keeping this growing travel trend in mind, The Serai Resorts has introduced a curated collection of romantic drive-to getaways designed especially for couples. Located within comfortable driving distance from Bengaluru and Mysuru, the boutique luxury properties in Kabini, Bandipur, and Chikmagalur offer private and immersive experiences for those looking for a refreshing escape.

A key highlight of the offering is the specially designed Forever in Love package. Starting at ₹56,000 plus taxes and available for both two-night and three-night stays, the package has been created to bring together luxury and intimate experiences. Couples can enjoy a romantic dining setup within the privacy of their room, sparkling wine, handcrafted chocolates, candle-lit turndown décor, and a celebratory cake. Guests also receive a 10% savings benefit on spa and bar services.

At The Serai Kabini, couples can relax beside the peaceful Kabini backwaters while enjoying experiences that combine nature and comfort. Activities include nature walks, coracle rides, kayaking, and boat and land safaris. The experience is further enhanced with private BBQ dining arrangements and 30-minute spa therapies at the doorstep, offering moments of privacy and relaxation.

For travellers who prefer cooler weather and scenic landscapes, The Serai Chikmagalur presents a serene retreat set amid lush coffee plantations. Recognised as India’s Best Staycation at the India’s Best Awards 2025 by Travel + Leisure, the property features spacious villas with private pools designed for uninterrupted relaxation. Guests can explore guided plantation walks, cycling trails, and peaceful outdoor experiences or simply spend quiet moments together within their private villa. Personalised BBQ experiences and doorstep spa treatments add to the overall experience.

At The Serai Bandipur, couples can enjoy a stay close to nature on the edge of Bandipur National Park. Surrounded by forest landscapes and wildlife, the resort offers opportunities to spot deer near private log huts and experience guided safaris and outdoor adventures. The stay also includes private BBQ dining and spa therapies, blending nature, adventure, and comfort.

From the calm backwaters of Kabini and the misty hills of Chikmagalur to the wilderness of Bandipur, The Serai Resorts offers couples a chance to enjoy intimate and memorable experiences without travelling too far from the city.
