Shortcut

If you want to enjoy the hills and village life without actually leaving city limits, Baevu is a farm resort that is a two hour drive from Bangalore and will make you forget you ever had a phone!

What Makes It Awesome

The co-founder wanted to recreate the experiences and memories she grew up with in her grandfather’s farm and so started the nature-based retreat Baevu. With no WiFi and spotty cell reception, the space forces you to go on a digital detox (especially for all you obsessive Instagrammers and workaholics) and embrace wilderness walks and traditional massages. If you’re planning on visiting with a significant other, we suggest trying some Ghost movie style pottery making and catching gorgeous sunsets together (we’re considering finding a lover just to visit and cuddle at this spot).

The houses here are roofed with beautiful terracotta red tiles, skylights and are constructed in traditional thoti-mane style. But what’s a vacation (even a staycation) without blue waters that you could dip into? The luxe element of the swimming pool is what draws a lot of people to the resort. So if you’re tired of getting drunk every weekend, drive out of the city for two hours until you stumble upon the gorgeous 30-acre property that hides between paddy fields and hillocks!

Pro-Tip

Since the retreat is located 80 kms away from the city centre, in the district of Kanakapura, we suggest taking your own mode of transportation or relying on inter-city travel services.
