The Kosh Soul Retreat: A Refreshing Getaway in Bengaluru
The Kosh Soul Retreat is a charming boutique resort located on the peaceful outskirts of Bengaluru, surrounded by lush greenery and absolute calm. It is thoughtfully designed for slow living, with a limited number of beautifully done suites that make the entire place feel intimate and personal rather than crowded. The property is all about reconnecting – with nature, creativity, and yourself.
There is an in house restaurant that serves soulful, wholesome food, blending traditional flavours with contemporary touches. Beyond just a stay, it felt like Kosh focuses heavily on experiences – from art based activities like painting and pottery to nature walks that let you soak in the surroundings. Everything about the property encourages you to pause, breathe, and be present.
Now, let me tell you how our weekend actually unfolded.
From the moment we arrived, we could feel the shift – the warm hospitality, the serene vibe, and the greenery everywhere instantly made us slow down. It felt like we had stepped into a completely different world – far away from all of the traffic, the deadlines, and the everyday noise.
One of the first experiences we enjoyed was their hi-tea with chaats, and it turned out to be such a lovely way to ease into the stay. We sat together, enjoying delicious snacks and refreshing drinks, just talking and catching up without watching the clock.
What really stood out for us was how much this property encourages creative expression. We took part in an acrylic painting session on canvas, and it was very therapeutic. They had a table laid out with canvases, brushes and colours and there were no rules – all had the freedom to create something from their imagination and purely for joy.
We also tried pottery, which was such a hands-on and grounding experience. With guidance from a skilled artisan, we shaped clay into our own little creations. It was messy but incredibly satisfying.
Sometimes the best journeys are not about how far you go,
but how deeply you feel refreshed when you return.
And the food – absolutely worth mentioning. Every meal felt thoughtfully prepared, with a beautiful mix of comfort and creativity. From perfectly spiced curries to innovative desserts, every bite was bursting with flavour, and we genuinely looked forward to trying different dishes at their restaurant.
The next morning, we went on a nature walk around the property, exploring the garden paths and the scenic trails. With birds chirping and leaves rustling around us, it was the most peaceful way to start the day. We even stumbled upon quiet little corners with stunning views – moments that reminded us how refreshing it is to just slow down and observe.
As we were leaving, the team surprised us with a Polaroid picture from our stay. Such a thoughtful gesture, and now a beautiful keepsake from the weekend. Every time we look at it, it brings back all the calm and joy we felt there.
By the time we headed home, we felt completely refreshed – physically, mentally and emotionally too. It felt like a perfect reset after a busy week at work.
If you are looking for a boutique retreat that is peaceful, creative, and rejuvenating, this property is a wonderful escape. More than a stay, it is a soulful experience that you will carry with you long after you leave.
