Vythiri Resort Wayanad is an elegant, exclusive and in its essence a state of mind, the Vythiri Resort is an exquisite jungle getaway located in Wayanad, Situated beneath an enormous canopy of a lush tropical rainforest, journey into nature’s wonderland – in the company of both flora and fauna that inhabit the dense Vythiri rainforest. You will be seduced by the promise of discovery, bliss and exaltation – body, mind and soul.Set along the slope of a forest clad hill, beside three branches of a sprightly mountain stream that forks as it flows through the 150 acre property, coming together and broadening at the end of the slope, Vythiri Resort is an exquisite jungle hideaway and a naturalist’s treasure trove. Wrapped in the enchantment of a tropical rainforest, beneath an enormous interlaced canopy formed by majestic trees, stone paved paths fringed by tropical plants wind through leading to brick coloured cottages, designed in architecture influenced to a great extent by the vernacular of the region. Built with wooden rafters on the roof and parquet flooring, furnished in wood and fabrics in a palette of earth colours – the accommodations are spacious, equipped with the state of the art in amenities and verandas that look out at fabulous views of the forest – an intimate experience of the surrounding sights and sounds. Available in configurations that range from lofty tree houses situated above the towering canopy higher up the slope of the hill and further down, cottages on stilts overlooking the stream, some equipped with Jacuzzis, others with private pools and a set of suites, they are all without exception, elegant and exclusive.

A rope bridge across one branch of the stream (sways gently as one gets across) leads to a restaurant and a coffee shop alongside, both overlooking the swimming pool at one end and a sweeping view of the forest all around. Everywhere, the muted hiss of the stream is a continuous serenade.
