Vythiri Resort – Staying in natural set up

Come for an exploration and stay in Vythiri Resort - a place that will take you to a journey of discovery far away from the chaotic world, recreating the magic of heaven in God's Own country says Manjari Singh

Known for its golden beaches, serene backwaters, lofty mountains, virgin forests teeming with wildlife, Kerala is a rich cultural collage encompassing many small and big destinations to be explored. One such destination is Wayanad, a sparkling gem that beautifies the landscape of Kerala.

Commuting to Wayanad is not a problem and so is the stay. With Vythiri Resort in its complex, Wayanad proudly proclaims to give the best hospitality to its tourists. Tucked away in a dense patch of rain forest off the Kozhikode Mysore Highway, the Vythiri resort forms a perfect getaway......

Sprawling over an area of 150 acres, offers you an opportunity to rediscover Mother Nature at her pristine best.  As you enter the resort, you step into the high-ceilinged corridor and onto a wooden bridge spanning over a pond. The warm concerned staff will show your cottages.

Amidst the jungles, what you will not find it’s the modern facilities like television, fridges, as a matter of fact you might not even get a chance to use electricity. Now this definitely sounds unusual but then this is what makes Vythiri Resort unique and special. Away from the conventional life of city, here is one resort that boasts everything in its natural form.

All you have a stay in the virgin land where you can hear the natural symphony of the jungle - the rustle of the leaves, chirping of the birds, soothing gurgle of the streams and the myriad jungle sounds .. all these are intensely used to calm urban ear dums filled with the city noise.

The major highlights of the resort are its cottages built on traditional lines but equipped to suit the needs of the visitors. Each of them hosts an inimitable design in an exclusive charmingly refreshing set up.  This is one place where you would never miss them and thankfully welcome the isolation and tranquility to delight in the miraculous power of Wyanad.

An essential part of any resort is the restaurant, and Vythiri resort is no such exception. Serving delectable array of buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner, the restaurant is quite famous amongst the food lovers. And those who want a quiet sit out, then you have a calm coffee shop that offers many creative minds to relax and appreciate the beauty of the land.
