16 Best Luxury Stays In and Around Bangalore for Men's Day

Spread the love

Bengaluru: From the vantage point of our balconies, we often reflect. We watch the city’s hustle, and we think about the people who form the scaffolding of our lives. This International Men’s Day, November 19th, it’s the perfect time to celebrate the men who are our partners, fathers, brothers, and friends—the ones who are our anchors, our cheerleaders, and our quiet support systems.

While a thoughtful word or a simple “thank you” goes a long way, a grand gesture can truly express the depth of that gratitude. It’s time to gift them the one thing they rarely, if ever, ask for: a complete, uninterrupted, and luxurious escape. We’re talking about an experience that goes beyond a simple gift and becomes a cherished memory. This is your curated guide to the most exceptional luxury stays in and around Bangalore, each perfect for showing him he’s your hero.

The Leela Palace Bengaluru

For the man who appreciates true opulence, The Leela Palace isn’t just a hotel; it’s an experience in royal living. Inspired by the grandeur of the Vijayanagara Empire, this is a property that makes you feel like a modern-day Maharaja from the moment you step into its grand courtyard. Think gold-leaf domes, ornate archways, and sprawling, immaculate gardens.

This is a gift for the connoisseur. You can treat him to an extraordinary culinary journey, starting with cocktails at the exclusive, speakeasy-style ZLB 23, followed by an award-winning Franco-Italian dinner at Le Cirque Signature. For the man with a refined palate, the hotel can arrange a “Whisky & Wine Flight” at The Library Bar, an experience in tasting and appreciation. A stay here isn’t just about a room; it’s about a weekend of sophisticated indulgence, impeccable service, and feeling utterly transported.

Booking Details: Reservations can be made through the official Leela Palace website or by contacting their reservations desk.

The Ritz-Carlton, Bangalore

If his style is modern, sleek, and sophisticated, The Ritz-Carlton is the definitive choice. This hotel embodies contemporary luxury, from its stunning collection of over 1,200 art pieces to the breathtaking city views from its rooftop bar, Bang. But it’s true jewel is the 17,000-square-foot Wellness Floor.

This is the ultimate gift of wellness and relaxation. Book him a session at the renowned Ritz-Carlton Spa, a sanctuary that features separate vitality pools for men, steam rooms, saunas, and a VIP spa suite. The spa menu includes dedicated “Men’s Services,” from deep-tissue massages to rejuvenating facials designed for him. He can spend the day in a plush robe, moving from the fitness center to the spa, and ending the evening with a craft cocktail at the rooftop bar, looking down on the city he just escaped.

Home to a 150-year-old rain tree, this is a sanctuary of old-world elegance and quiet.

This is a gift of peace and connection. Plan a “Heritage Walk” through the property’s stunning grounds, discovering its historical landmarks. Spend the afternoon at the J Wellness Circle for a traditional Indian-inspired treatment. For the evening, forgo the main restaurant and book a private, bespoke dining experience in a secluded gazebo within the gardens. It’s a slow-paced, romantic, and utterly sophisticated retreat from the modern world.

It’s for the man who appreciates luxury that is both grand and grounded in responsibility.

This is for the eco-conscious man and the dedicated foodie. The Kaya Kalp Spa offers a robust menu of treatments perfect for de-stressing. But the real celebration here is culinary.

This is the perfect “all-in-one” gift. For the avid golfer, you can book a “Stay and Play” package, giving him ample time on the green.

This is a gift for his inner explorer. The entire stay is an experience. His days will be filled with thrilling vehicle safaris into the Nagarhole National Park (a prime spot for leopards and tigers), serene boat safaris on the river, and peaceful coracle rides. A naturalist will even take him on a “night trail” to discover the jungle’s nocturnal life. After a day of adventure, he can retreat to his private pool and simply listen to the sounds of the jungle.

Booking Details: Book well in advance via their official website, as they are often sold out.

Taj Madikeri Resort & Spa, Coorg

If you are willing to make the 5–6-hour drive “around Bangalore,” this is arguably one of the most breathtaking properties in the country. This is not a hotel; it’s a 180-acre rainforest fortress, perched 4,000 feet above sea level. The lobby itself, with its panoramic view of the Western Ghats, is a jaw-dropping welcome. The villas are detached, private, and feel like you are floating in the clouds.

This is for the man who loves nature, grandeur, and a sense of awe. Gift him a stay in a Luxury Villa with a Plunge Pool. His days will be spent on guided rainforest walks within the property, bird-watching, or simply reading on the balcony with the clouds rolling in beneath him. The J Wellness Circle spa is one of the most stunning in India, and its “Gudda” (Gudda bath) treatment—a traditional wood-fired-water bath—is a rustic, restorative experience.

Booking Details: Reservations are essential and can be made on the Taj Hotels website.

The Serai, Chikmagalur

Located in the heart of India’s coffee country (a 4–5-hour drive), The Serai is the definition of a private, exclusive hideaway. Set within a sprawling coffee estate, the entire resort is designed for seclusion. The best accommodations are the “Estate Villas” or “The Residence,” which feature their own private, heated plunge pools.

This is the perfect gift for the man who craves absolute peace, quiet, and a touch of romance. This is the “do nothing in luxury” escape. He can wake up to the smell of coffee blossoms, go on a private coffee plantation tour to learn the bean-to-cup story, and then spend the rest of the day in his private pool. The Oma Spa offers treatments overlooking the lush estate. It’s a slow, serene, and deeply rejuvenating getaway for the man who needs to unplug from the world.

Booking Details: Visit The Serai Resorts official website for reservations.

Rosetta by Ferns, Sakleshpur

A stunning 3.5-hour drive from Bangalore lands you in this 100-acre plantation paradise. Rosetta by Ferns is a sprawling, eco-luxury resort set amidst the lush coffee estates of Sakleshpur.

The villas and suites are massive, modern, and come with private decks and even open-air showers, seamlessly blending the indoors with the verdant outdoors.

This is the perfect gift for the man who needs both action and relaxation. His day can be as active as he wants: he can head to the 30,000-square-foot “Rosetta Engage” activity centre for a game of badminton, table tennis, or billiards, or hit the gym. Or, he can embrace the “Malnad” pace of life: take a guided stroll through the coffee plantations, unwind at the stunning infinity pool overlooking the estate, or indulge in a treatment at the Iyasya Spa. An evening at their restaurant, “Ouzo by fire,” makes for a perfect, memorable celebration.

Booking Details: You can book directly through the Rosetta Hospitality official website.

Coorg Wilderness Resort & Spa

This is the ideal “around Bangalore” destination for the man who wants the best of both worlds: rugged adventure and stately comfort.

The suites are palatial, with cozy electric fireplaces and large balconies that offer breathtaking views of the surrounding, untouched wilderness. It’s where raw nature meets old-world, baronial luxury.

This is a “choose your own adventure” gift. During the day, you can treat him to an adrenaline rush at the resort’s adventure park, which includes ziplining, rock climbing, and ATV rides.

Booking Details: Reservations can be made on the Coorg Wilderness Resort official website.

SwaSwara by CGH Earth, Gokarna

This is more than a getaway; it’s a transformative journey. Located a short walk from the spiritual sands of Om Beach in Gokarna (a longer trip “around Bangalore,” but worth every minute), SwaSwara is not a typical resort. It is a sanctuary for the soul, designed by the renowned CGH Earth group. The luxury here is found in peace, nature, and self-discovery. The property is built with local, sustainable materials, and the individual villas are private, Konkan-style spaces for quiet introspection.

This is the gift for the man who is introspective, creative, or in need of a complete mental and spiritual reset. A stay here is a curated program focused on wellness. His days will be filled with guided yoga and meditation sessions, nourishing Ayurvedic-inspired cuisine, and healing spa treatments.

It’s an opportunity for him to disconnect from the digital world and reconnect with his own creativity and inner voice.

Booking Details: Reservations are for all-inclusive wellness programs and can be made on the CGH Earth official website.

The IBNII, Coorg

If the man in your life values sustainability as much as he does luxury, The IBNII is the perfect statement. Set within 120 acres of a pristine, rain-washed coffee and spice estate in Coorg, this resort is a masterpiece of eco-conscious design. The luxury here is private and profound; the resort has been built around nature, not over it. The private pool villas are secluded, offering complete immersion in the sights and sounds of the forest.

This is the gift of guilt-free, secluded indulgence. Book him a “Kopi Luwak” pool villa for the ultimate private escape. His days can be spent on guided bird-watching and nature walks through the sprawling estate, learning about the ecosystem. For the man who needs to de-stress, the “Manja” Spa is located in a tranquil spot, offering treatments inspired by the land. The highlight is the dining: you can arrange a private barbecue on the deck of his villa or treat him to an authentic Kodava meal at “The Kopplu,” which celebrates the local, warrior-clan cuisine.

Booking Details: You can book directly through The IBNII’s official website.

The Tamara Coorg

This is arguably one of the most romantic and architecturally stunning resorts in the country, and a perfect 5–6-hour drive “around Bangalore.” Set 3,500 feet above sea level within a 180-acre coffee, cardamom, and pepper estate, The Tamara Coorg’s “wow” factor is its design. The luxury cottages are built on stilts, elevating you into the forest canopy. You walk on bridges suspended over the lush plantation, and the silence is broken only by birdsong.

This is the ultimate gift for the man who loves nature, tranquility, and a great cup of coffee. The experience here is about immersion. He can start his day with a signature “Blossom to Brew” coffee experience, where he can pick, pulp, and roast his own perfect cup. You can book a private, guided “Plantation Tour” or a more rigorous “Trek” up the on-site Thadiyandamol trail. For the evening, treat him to a drink at “The Verandah,” a stunning glass-walled lounge, followed by a romantic, private dinner in your own elevated cottage, feeling like you are the only two people in the forest.

Trivik Hotels & Resorts, Chikmagalur

This is the “King of the Hill” escape, and a stunning 4–5-hour drive from Bangalore. Perched high on a mountain in Chikmagalur, Trivik offers one of the most commanding and uninterrupted panoramic views of the Mullayanagiri range. This resort is built to maximize its one-of-a-kind asset: the 360-degree vista. The luxury suites are expansive, with floor-to-ceiling windows and private balconies that make you feel like you’re floating above the lush coffee valleys.

This is the gift for the man who appreciates a grand perspective. His day begins just by waking up: the sunrise from the balcony of a “Luxury Suite” is an event in itself. For the man who needs adventure, you can arrange a trek to Mullayanagiri, the highest peak in Karnataka (the resort is in close proximity). The reward for his efforts? A long, lazy afternoon at the stunning infinity pool, which seems to spill right into the valley. In the evening, treat him to a drink at the bar lounge, followed by a private dinner, all while watching the mountains fade to blue.

Booking Details: Book your mountain-top escape on the official Trivik Hotels & Resorts website.

This Men’s Day, look past the usual. The greatest gift you can give is an experience that enriches, relaxes, and celebrates him. Whether it’s the palatial luxury of a city hotel or the adventurous spirit of a jungle lodge, booking one of these luxury stays in and around Bangalore is a way of giving him a story, a memory, and a moment to truly be the hero.
