For our anniversary, my wife and I decided to take a short getaway from Bangalore to Silent Shores Resort & Spa in Mysore. The trip was a perfect blend of relaxation, good food, and a touch of nostalgia.
The Journey Begins
We started our journey from Bangalore at 10 AM after having breakfast at a hotel near our home. Taking the Mysore Express Highway, we enjoyed a smooth drive with a toll charge of ₹625 for a round trip.We reached Mysore around 2 PM and stopped for lunch at a nearby dhaba. We ordered mutton pulao and chicken lollipops, but since my wife doesn’t eat mutton, she had only rice. The food was good, though not quite at the level of the famous Hanumanthu Pulao.
Checking into Silent Shores Resort & Spa
After lunch, we headed to Silent Shores Resort & Spa, which is conveniently located near the Infosys campus. Since my wife had worked there before, she took a moment to click some photos of the campus, reminiscing about her time there.Upon arrival at the resort, we received a warm welcome from the buggy driver who escorted us to the reception. The staff was incredibly polite and respectful, making us feel like VIPs from the moment we stepped in.
Luxury & Hospitality at Its Best
The highlight of this luxury resort is the impeccable service and attention to detail. From the warm reception to the beautiful surroundings, we truly felt valued and pampered throughout our stay.This anniversary getaway was a memorable experience, and Silent Shores Resort & Spa proved to be the perfect destination for a relaxing retreat
A Relaxing Stay in a Pool-View Room
For our anniversary getaway, we had booked a Superior Room with a pool view. The room was absolutely stunning, offering a serene ambiance and a breathtaking view of the resort’s pool. After checking in, we took a short nap, allowing ourselves to unwind from the long drive.
Evening High Tea & Leisure Activities
In the evening, we stepped out for high tea. There was a wide selection of snacks, coffee, and tea, but I opted for a glass of milk, while my wife enjoyed a cup of coffee with banana cake and banana bajji. Post-snack, we took a leisurely walk around the resort, soaking in the peaceful atmosphere. We also spent some time playing indoor games like table tennis and snooker, which was a fun and refreshing experience.
A Sweet Anniversary Surprise
After an eventful evening, we returned to our room to rest. Earlier, we had requested the staff for a cake, and to our delight, they arranged a complimentary cake for our anniversary. At 8 PM, the cake was delivered to our room, and we celebrated our special day by cutting it on the balcony, enjoying the beautiful evening view.
Candlelight Dinner & Cricket Under the Stars
For dinner, we chose a romantic candlelight setup, making the evening even more special. Adding to the experience, we watched the RCB vs Chennai match while enjoying a delicious chicken dinner. It was the perfect way to end our anniversary celebration—good food, great company, and a cozy ambiance.This trip to Silent Shores Resort & Spa was nothing short of magical, and it will always hold a special place in our hearts.
A Leisurely Morning at the Resort
The next morning at Silent Shores Resort & Spa, we woke up around 9 AM and, after a refreshing bath, headed for complimentary breakfast. The spread had a wide variety of options, so we decided to taste a little bit of everything—after all, it was free!After breakfast, we went to the pool and spent over an hour playing and relaxing in the water. It was a fun and refreshing experience. Once done, we headed back to our room for another nap, fully embracing the relaxed vibe of the resort.
A Laid-Back Afternoon
For lunch, instead of dining at Ambrosia Restaurant (the resort’s in-house dining option, which was quite expensive), we decided to order food from Zomato. After enjoying our meal, we took a leisurely walk around the resort and spent time at the resort’s park, soaking in the peaceful surroundings.Originally, we had planned to visit some tourist spots in Mysore, but after experiencing the charm of Silent Shores, we changed our minds and decided to spend both days at the resort instead.
A Relaxing Spa & an Unexpected Mishap
On Sunday morning, we treated ourselves to a spa session, where we had a head massage. The spa staff was extremely polite, making the experience even more enjoyable. It was the perfect way to unwind before wrapping up our stay.However, as we were leaving, my wife’s phone accidentally fell, cracking the screen. Despite the little mishap, we checked out around 11 AM and headed to my sister’s house, where we spent the next four hours catching up. During our visit, we also bought a new phone for my wife.
Heading Back to Bangalore
We left Mysore at 5 PM, but due to heavy traffic, we only reached Whitefield around 9 PM. Though the return journey was long, the entire trip was a wonderful and relaxing experience—one that we will cherish forever.
