The Serai

Food was great, went tgere with my family. The staff welcomed us well. The ambiance was warm and inviting, and the service was exceptional. Chef Anil Kumar ensured we had a memorable experience. The staff was attentive and courteous, making us feel at home.

Ive always had serai chikmaglur on my bucket list and I was able to book it for my 10 th wedding anniversary. From the time we arrived till we left the staff made us feel warm and welcome. This is the best vacation I have had in a long time. The rooms were well maintained and it was private. Our anniversary dinner was set up with decorations in an outdoor cabin and it was done in the most wonderful way. The food at the restaurant too was outstanding. Even a simple fried rice was cooked to perfection. There was nothing that disappointed us. All the staff we interacted with were supremely helpful. However a special mention to Mr Wilfred Sequira who understood our taste and curated the most perfect menu for our special dinner. A shout out too Sumanth, Pradeep, Ananya and Nikhil too.

We had the pleasure of staying at Serai Chikmagalur for two short nights. We opted for the romance package. Chef created a special 5 course meal served in our villa. Girish, Harsha, Bharath decorated our villa for the occasion. There were candles, lanterns, red roses, rose petals and decorations all over the suite - on the outdoor and indoor bed, in the pool, and in the tub. We ended our meal with a beautiful and tasty heart-shaped chocolate cake. Thank you to the entire team for making our anniversary celebration memorable. Our only regret is that we didn't stay longer. Don't miss Beluru Temple, the hike to Mullayanagiri, and the nature walk that is offered each afternoon when visiting.

The property is located in a calm and serene space. Location wise pretty reachable, also feels away from town when inside, away from the hustle and bustle. Also the tree plantations done by them & coffee growing tour is also a highlight to the property. Don’t miss the story from baba budan to present scenario of coffee business in the south. Special mention to Shiva and Pradeep the naturalist’ to cordinate smoothly and taking care of the tour so seamlessly. Thank you Serai team, will visit again very soon.

The Serai is an immaculate property situated on a beautiful coffee plantation. The hotel is surrounded by greenery and the sounds of the birds are extraordinary. Each room is clean, spacious, and full of amenities like a large bathtub and great shower. You will feel like you've been transported to your own relaxing world apart from the hustle and bustle you likely just traveled from. However, what really makes The Serai special is its staff. Gagan Meet, the head of operations, frequently checked in with our party to make sure every part of our stay was top-tier. When someone in our party fell ill, he and another staff member oversaw her transportation to the hospital and after-care at the resort. The chef, Anil Kumar, didn't just make amazing meals but at every meal he came out of the kitchen to help craft dishes for someone with an allergy in our group. There are too many staffers to list by name but they all excelled at creating a wonderful experience. We cannot wait to return.
