A place to truly unwind, relax & rejuvenate.

We stayed at Silent Shores for 3 days. I must say what a beautiful resort it is, nestled only 20mins from Mysore city. After having waded through both the horrendous traffic & pollution in Bangalore, the resort came to us as a pleasant surprise. Right from the time we entered the resort, we felt like we were in a completely different time and space all together. The Gulmohars and the greenery almost instantly flood you with ta sense of calm & peace.

It is a pretty big resort and my daughter enjoyed cycling around, enjoying the sights and sounds the resort had to offer. Equipped with a good sized swimming pool it was a delightful place to relax. The resort also has a game area with a pool table where my husband spent a lot of his time and my daughter on the trampoline outside. The rooms were spacious with a beautiful balcony overlooking the pond with fountains. A generous array of fruits were provided in each room as we entered. Evenings were pleasant and the resort lights up including the fountains which is a sight to remember. With flora so beautiful, you get to see so many different species of birds that the resort is home to. We had colorful visitors in our balcony when we sipped on our tea every morning. Though they have a yoga room with a view of the pool, I preferred the outdoors where I truly enjoyed my practice & meditation.

The hospitality at the resort was by far the best we have experienced. We love travelling and have visited resorts around the world. However silent Shores has topped our list when it comes to hospitality & care for customers. Sujith, Rakesh, Lokesh, Basava are a few who remembered our names and our preferences. They were so observant about our needs that without our asking we had things done for us.

The food was execellent. Chef Muthu s Chandrakala dessert is to die for . I am a lover of Indian sweets and this one definitely hit the spot. It is amazing that everything including the bread is freshly baked at the resort. The breakfast is lavish and Lokesh s freshly made omelettes are something we discuss at the breakfast table in Sydney every morning.

I cannot compliment the Ayurvedic Spa enough. Asha & Sujatha have wonderful healing hands. They started off with a prayer, followed by a massage & shirodhara. The ladies are true professionals and really know the art of Ayurveda. The body paste that they provided after the massage was absolutely divine. My skin felt wonderful and I did carry some back home to Sydeny which I am enjoying now.

Silent shores was the highlight of visit to India after so many years. Irrespective of all the developments in and around Mysore, the resort has continued to maintain the charm & awe of Karnataka that I remember & connected to as a child.

Thank you Silent shores for bringing back some fond memories for me and giving us the best holiday we ve had in ages!

Some areas for improvement:


Apart from that the only other comment I have is that my holiday was far too short. I can t wait to be back at Silent shores again soon!
