A Riverfront Paradise That Feels Like a Dream

vamsi p.family with 1 kid

Our stay at The Serai, Kabini was nothing short of magical. Waking up to the gentle view of the Kabini River right from our room was the most peaceful start to each day. The ambience was calm, secluded, and incredibly rejuvenating—perfect for reconnecting with nature and ourselves. The food at the in-house restaurant was delicious, and the team was always smiling, courteous, and ready to cater to every need. We felt genuinely cared for. Highly recommend this property for anyone who wants a quiet retreat in the lap of nature with a touch of luxury.

"Serene Nature Getaway with exceptional Service

ravi t.family with 1 kid

Our family had a wonderful stay at this resort, perfectly nestled near the Safari point. We opted for the riverfront villa, which exceeded our expectations. The villa offered breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. The resort's campus is a haven for bird enthusiasts, with an incredible variety of species, including the Asian Paradise Flycatcher and Indian Golden Oriole. The food was delicious, with a impressive breakfast spread. But they didn't have buffet for lunch and dinner. However, they did provide complementary salads, papad , special sweet and juice along with A la carte. What truly stood out, however, was the exceptional service. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and satisfaction. Overall, this resort is a nature lover's paradise. We highly recommend it.
