Best 12 Luxury Resorts In Wayanad

Wayanad literally means the land which has abundant paddy. This gives an indication of the terrain. This is located on a plateau roughly between 700 M to 2100M above mean sea level, on the eastern wing of the slopes of the Western Ghats. 

It borders Tamilnadu in the East, and Karnataka in the North East. Wayanad is easily accessible both from Karnataka and Tamilnadu. The nearest rail head and Airport is Kozhikode, which is well connected to the rest of India. 

The focus of this blog is to present the top 12 reputable resorts in the region which will give guests an added comfort to enjoy the hospitality of each of these properties.

Taj Wayanad Resort & Spa:

Perched on an escarpment surrounded by lakes on three sides, gives the property a majestic look.  Idyllic surroundings with a pathway lined with coconut trees are a welcoming sight for a prospective visitor. The narrow winding road or shall we call it a pathway is certainly worthy of being taken on celluloid.

The morning mist, with a whiff of cool air, will take any visitor into the world of the unreal, only to be experienced. The hallmark of the resort is designer villas’ elegant interiors, modern amenities, with exclusive space to revel in total privacy. The USP of the resort is to promote it as a one stop destination for honeymooners.   

Vythiri Village Resort:

True to the resort's image the huge welcome arch aptly describes this property in just one sentence viz. “you are entering nature’s home ground”.  A perfect stop to rest and rejuvenate amidst nature.   The rain forest comes to life and is truly a magical experience with the sounds and sights of the flora and fauna emanating from the forest floor. 

In short, it is a dazzling array of plants and animals that inhibit these rain forests.  It is an experience to indulge in- and relive life amongst nature.  Each day of stay is a new experience and to be treasured for a lifetime.

Lake Rose Wayanad Resort:

It has a breathtaking panoramic view of the lake and the crimson yellow sunset over the horizon presents a truly majestic experience. The sighting of the guest rooms have been done in a unique manner so that every room is a lake facing room. 

To top it all every guest has gone back with pleasant memories and little wonder they enjoy one of the best ratings in the hospitality industry.

Wayanad Wild, CGH Earth:

Located in Lakkidi, the resort is surrounded by rainforest. The theme is eco –friendly resort, and therefore, TV is one of the missing items in the room inventory.  Guest rooms are large and spacious with top end amenities’ to complement the room. 

A trek with the in house naturalist is certainly a rewarding experience and the flora and fauna of the region will be explained to immaculate details. In short, it is an abode where a guest can truly soak in nature. 

True to its current perceived idea, being a relatively new property it is untamed, unseen and unsullied which is an apt description to the property. 

Wind Flower Resort and Spa Vythiri:

Located on a small hillock, far from the madding crowd, is WindFlower Resort, a spotlessly serene resort to catch a glimpse of fresh air far away from city life. Set in a calm coffee and tea estate which is a rich legacy of the colonial times. The Chembara peak, not too far away offers breathtaking views, especially during sunset.  Trek along the offbeat path and enjoy the tranquil atmosphere reverberating all around. 

Saptha Resort & Spa:

Spread across 5 acres, this resort blends tradition with modern architecture to enable guests to feel a different experience. With large sized windows,  a peek into the green paddy vegetation will surely take a guest into a way of village rustic life. The 60 odd rooms are delightfully furnished to give a comfortable and cozy feel.   

There are only two words to describe the facilities in this resort that are- “simply gorgeous”. In short it is a niche property, within striking distance to Sultan Bathery. 

Mount Xanadu Resorts:

A boutique style property on top of a quaint hill personifies Mount Xanadu Resorts. Being located abutting a waterfront, all rooms offer a very panoramic view.  To catch more breathtaking views, it is worth waiting for sunrise to peep from behind the mountains and witness the setting crimson yellow sun going into the horizon.

Glamping is a novel experience to indulge and the property was one of the earliest to capitalise in this trend.  Guests from the private deck get to enjoy the Chembra peak and Karapuzha dam.  The hospitality offered by the property is truly amazing.

Tranquil Resort:  

A piece of history beckons when one visits Tranquil Resorts. Built in colonial architecture, it is one of the very few resorts with this kind of ambience. The resort theme revolves around plantation and guests get greeted to coffee, spices and fruit orchard plantation. 

The dwelling is rather like a mini farm and certain accommodation is nestled on tree tops giving an exhilarating feeling. With pathways leading  all around, a visit to the plantation and seeking information  on cultivation from the locals, apart from enhancing one's knowledge is also  time well spent.

Pepper Trail:
