Vythiri Resort

The Vythiri Resort at Wayanad is completely nature-friendly- untouched, unexplored and raw and hill station resort in Waynad, Kerala. The cottages and huts are in the ethnic styles taking you back to an indigenous tribal village with simple yet well furnished interiors. An old British Colonial retreat, VythirI at Waynad in kerala is a holiday waiting to be discovered to its fullness. Designed in the traditional Kerala architecture, it is spread over 150 acres. Hotel Vythiri Resort offers 18 cottages, 6 rooms and 9 huts. The tribal huts beckon the adventure enthusiasts and nature lovers built with mud and thatched roof. Spread across either bank of a sprightly mountain stream that runs through the 150 acre property, the Vythiri Resort is a delightful jungle hideaway and a naturalist's treasure trove. Wrapped in the cool embrace of a rainforest, stone lined pathways, canopied by majestic trees, lead to brick colored cottages built in the style native to the region. Built of brick with wooden rafters on the roof, furnished in cane, wood and fabrics of discreet elegance, the cottages are equipped with all modern amenities. The accommodations are designed so as to provide residents an immediate experience of the surrounding sights and sounds. Available in configurations ranging from heady tree houses, to cottages on stilts overlooking the stream and further downstream, cottages with Jacuzzis, private pools and a suite, everywhere, the muted hiss of the stream is a continuous serenade. A rope bridge across the stream, leads to the restaurant overlooking the swimming pool at one end and a sweeping view of the forest all around.

Days begin with the rousing melody of a Malabar Whistling Thrush. The forest comes alive with an orchestration of sounds and bands of foraging monkeys. The day ahead is ripe with possibilities. Guests may chose to relax in their cottages, go for walks in the forest in the company of the resident naturalist, swim in the freshwater pool , opt for treatments at the Ayurvedic spa, play indoor games or take part in the many outdoor activities that the resort has included in its itineraries.
