The Serai-Chikmagalur
Chikmagalur, India
The Serai Chikmagalur
Life awaits at the coffee country, the land of beautiful hills and endless beauty in India
Set against the backdrop of the Baba Budangiri hills, The Serai is set on one of the beautiful coffee estates in Chikmagalur. The Serai Chikmagalur is designed aligning to a central flowing water spine, which unifies the resort. The central edifice houses the lobby, restaurants, lounges bars and the spa, and towers over an elegant infinity pool. The cottages, themselves, flank the central flowing water feature.
While natural scenery has been integrated with minimalist design to give it an open feel, the edifice itself is an exquisite collage of a variety of material and textures, picturesque views, connecting walkways and harmonious lighting. Each residence is an eclectic combination of classic and contemporary design, global architecture and local material, old world charm embellished by modern luxurious amenities.
Great for treks; Chikmagalur has peaks to scale and jungle paths to explore. Seasoned hikers may enjoy climbing Mulayangiri, the highest peak in Karnataka. If your proclivities lean toward the historical and cultural, be sure to visit the Chennakeshava temple in Belur and the Shiva temple of Hoysaleshwara in Halebidu, both renowned for their intricate carvings. Visit Shravanabelagola to see the largest monolithic statue in the world – Gomateshwara – standing majestically on a hill. For those seeking fresh, new perspectives on coffee, we have specially organised plantation walks. Treat your senses to unwind with fine wines, flavourful brews and scrumptious cuisine. Pamper yourself with unique coffee massages, scrubs and wraps at the exclusive spa.
