Ri Kynjai Serenity By The Lake - A boutique lakeside resort with Khasi-inspired architecture, fine dining, and spa facilities

Set on the shores of Umiam Lake, 18 km from Shillong, Ri Kynjai Serenity By The Lake features lakeview cottages suspended on circular stilts, blending traditional Khasi design with modern comforts. Each cottage includes a living area, private bathroom, and terrace overlooking the lake, with some offering fireplaces for cooler evenings. The resort's multi-cuisine restaurant, Sao Aiom, serves Indian, Chinese, Continental, and Northeastern specialties, while the rooftop nightclub, Cloud 9, hosts live music and art displays. Guests can unwind at the Khem Janai Spa, which offers Khasi massages and hydrotherapy, or explore nearby forest trails and island picnics. Ri Kynjai also provides conference facilities with lake views, a craft emporium, and 24-hour concierge services for treks and travel arrangements.

Pros

The rooftop nightclub provides live music and regional art alongside gourmet food and cocktails.

Traditional Khasi-inspired architecture is paired with modern amenities, including spacious cottages with lake views.

The Khem Janai Spa offers specialized treatments such as Khasi massage and aqua therapy.

The resort's proximity to Umiam Lake (11 km) and Lumpongdeng Island (2 km) allows for easy outdoor excursions.

Cons

The remote lakeside location may require private transport for exploring Shillong (20 km away).

Limited public transport options are available directly from the resort.
