Leonia Holistic Resorts - A travelogue


After having our second baby, it took almost an year for us to get ready for a leisure outing. The destination was, Leonia Resorts, Hyderabad. The place is an hour's driving distance from our home.

I packed Joel's favourite peanut butter sandwich and a few chicken sausages. Children love to eat in the car, than at home :)

Got the USB ready with kid's special nursery rhymes and mary poppins's songs.

At around 9.00 am our trip started.

Both the kids were calm as they were enjoying the songs. The song "Let's go fly a kite..." from 'Mary Poppins' have a magic that can simply lift our spirits!

All of us were excited about our first leisure outing(with just four of us).

After having food Jenah slept, hearing the rhymes.

On reaching the gate of LR, a welcome juice was served to all of us. Mmmm...felt good. After settling things at reception, we straight-away went to Leo-splash. Enjoyed there with kids for almost 2 hours.

Check-in time at the resort room was at 2 pm. We went in and there was a pleasant surprise for us. Two cookies with our kids name :)

I will put one picture as Joel started eating his cookie before my clicking.




Had a chicken biriyani at Leo Bistro and trust me, the biriyani was awesome. Had a complimentary veg salad with rosemary sause in it. It was too good.

Joel saw the kids park nearby and wanted to spend sometime there. So we went & relaxed there. Later went to Fairy world where both kids were taken care by nannies.

Jerry went to do archery while I spend some time browsing the book -

(Lots of books are there in Fairy world)

In the evening we,

- walked through some trails
- explored the area
- reached room
- slept soon after dinner.


Next day, went to the "Sun and Moon" restaurent where the complimentary breakfast was served. Mmmm...the breakfast was a real treat to the taste buds! I think almost all variety of nuts that I have seen was there. Variety flakes, dry fruits, idlis, dosas, omlet, even chicken salami was there.

This day, Jerry and me did surfing, water bubble, water slide etc. while children were taken care by nannies. That section is a real blessing for parents. Later kids joined us and there was again "water water" all around us.


According to me the main highlights of the resort:

!) Flow-rider (surfing)

2) Nanny packages

3) Water bubble

4) Splendid complimentary breakfast

5) Leo-splash

NB. Make sure you take a sun-screen lotion.

My girl




Here she walks
With steps unstable
Yet enjoying every move
That makes all the babies
More charming than ever....

When I see her at times,
I'll say, I get a feel
That simply needs her kiss
Right now...right this moment

I will kneel down
With a smile as wide as I can
And ask her for a smooch

She won't fall for that
All the time, you should know
But whenever she plans
To give me a peck

She will look
She will smile
Showing her four teeth
She will drool

She'll tilt her head
And start pacing forward
As usual I feel my heart melting

She will come near me
With both hands apart
Hug me and give me a kiss
What, oh what should I compare it to?

It is..it is, as if...
I am under the hot sun
All sweating and jittering
And here comes a drizzle
And a cool breeze
That simply freshes me up!
