As summer travel trends lean toward ease and flexibility, more families are choosing meaningful escapes over long-haul journeys. Tapping into this shift, The Serai Resorts brings focus to one of its biggest advantages- experience-led, luxury getaways that feel far removed from the everyday, yet are just a scenic drive from Bengaluru and Mysuru.
What makes this especially compelling is that even for travellers flying into Bengaluru from across the country, the holiday does not have to end in the city. With The Serai’s destinations located within easy driving distance, travellers can seamlessly extend their trip into a rejuvenating getaway- trading urban energy for serene landscapes, immersive experiences, and unhurried luxury, all without the need for additional flights.
Perfectly timed for the school break, The Serai Kabini and The Serai Chikmagalur invite families to trade airport queues for open roads and reconnect through nature, comfort, and curated experiences.
At The Serai Kabini, the Family Fun package brings together the thrill of the outdoors and the ease of a refined lakeside retreat. Set against the tranquil Kabini backwaters, families can enjoy a host of immersive activities including nature walks, coracle rides, kayaking, archery, speed boat rides, and a special Junior Chef experience for children- making it an ideal choice for those seeking an active yet indulgent summer break.
For families looking to slow down and spend quality time amidst nature, The Serai Bandipur offers the Extended Escape package, a thoughtfully curated retreat set on the edge of the Bandipur Tiger Reserve. Surrounded by the scenic Nilgiri hills, the experience encourages families to unwind with nature walks, indoor and outdoor games, and peaceful moments in the wilderness, while spacious accommodation and gourmet dining add to the sense of relaxed luxury.
For those drawn to the cool calm of the hills, The Serai Chikmagalur offers the Family Moments package, a slower, more restorative escape nestled amidst lush coffee estates and misty landscapes. With guided plantation walks, cycling, and nature-led exploration, the experience is designed to encourage families to slow down, reconnect, and enjoy the quiet luxury of time well spent together.
Whether it’s the untamed natural beauty of Kabini, or the wilderness charm of The Serai Bandipur, or the serene ladscapes of Chikmagalur, The Serai Resorts offers families the best of summer travel this season- destination-rich, luxurious escapes that are close enough for a spontaneous road trip, yet immersive enough to feel like a true holiday.
