Ri Kynjai Resort: Unveiling Serenity by the Lake in Meghalaya


With a name that literally means “Serenity by the Lake” in Khasi, Ri Kynjai – Serenity By The Lake offers you the perfect getaway from the urban hubbub. Nature lovers can choose to luxuriate in perfectly appointed cottages, undergo traditional Khasi spa treatments and dine on local delicacies… the more adventurous may prefer the beautiful hill treks, boat rides and island picnics, and of course, a day at the Shillong Golf Course, dating back to 1889, and still referred to as the ‘Gleneagles of the East’. This boutique resort is as perfect for families seeking the ultimate all-round getaway as it is for corporates requiring discreet and luxurious convention spaces. Lovers of authentic experiences will be particularly pleased with the architecture – inspired by the building ‘language’ of traditional Khasi cottages while incorporating the best of modern practices.

A Fusion of Tradition and Modernity

Ri Kynjai's architecture reflects the rich heritage of the Khasi people. Inspired by traditional Khasi thatch huts, the resort incorporates modern elements for a unique blend of tradition and contemporary style. The lake view cottages, perched on stilts, showcase the transition from the iconic upturned boat roofs, designed to withstand the region's heavy monsoon rains, to modern gables. As you explore the resort, you'll be captivated by the intricate details, red pine interiors, and the warmth of Khasi hospitality.
