Larisa Resort, Manali  

Perched amid apple orchards on the Kullu‑Naggar‑Manali Road in Haripur, Larisa Resort is a luxury resort just outside Manali. It’s a short drive — about 4 minutes to Gauri Shankar Temple and 8 minutes to Tripura Sundari Temple, roughly 15 km from Mall Road and about 25 km from Solang Valley. Pet‑friendly and family‑friendly, the property is around 1 hour 20 minutes from Kullu Airport by road.

Rooms mix jagged stone walls with walnut‑toned furniture for a rustic‑luxury feel. The 22 air‑conditioned rooms come with fireplaces and private balconies; some units include a walk‑in jacuzzi. Expect practical comforts too — desks, safes, minibar/kitchenette options and wheelchair‑accessible layouts where noted.

Swim in indoor and outdoor pools, unwind in the spa centre with sauna, steam room and massage, or soak in the walk‑in jacuzzi. There’s a garden, picnic and barbecue areas, a library, karaoke, ping‑pong and a children’s playroom. Concierge, laundry/dry cleaning, wedding and event services, free self‑parking and an airport shuttle (24‑hour service for a surcharge) are available. Pets are allowed on request — and you can literally wake up to apple‑orchard mornings.

A conference centre and meeting room handle events and meetings. Complimentary Wi‑Fi is available in rooms and communal areas, plus express check‑in/checkout and 24‑hour reception for convenience.

An on‑site restaurant and a bar/lounge serve meals and drinks. Buffet breakfasts are offered daily from 7:00 AM to 10:30 AM for a fee, and room service is available during limited hours.
