The Vythiri Resort – Review
Have you ever dreamed of sleeping in a resort out in the jungles, where amazing wildlife live? Up in the hills of Wayanad in Kerala, India, hides one of the most amazing exotic resorts out there, that place is called Vythiri Resort.
In my wildest dreams, I never thought I would be sleeping in the jungles! The Vythiri Resort was a complete dream! I got to spend 4 amazing nights in my own private Villa out in the rain forest.
Overview:
Vythiri Resort is an exquisite eco-friendly jungle hideaway set in a beautiful tropical rainforest. If you’re looking to escape the fast paste world and enjoy the beautiful outdoors, Vythiri Resort is the perfect place to do it. This stunning family friendly and honeymoon resort have everything you will ever need to create the perfect sweet escape. The 150-acre property hidden in the mountains of Wayanad, is a delightful jungle hideaway. Wrapped in the cool embrace of a rain forest, the Vythiri Resort accommodations are designed so that one can enjoy the surrounding sights and sounds. The beautiful rope bridges across the stream leads to the restaurant overlooking the swimming pool at one end and a stunning view of the forest all around.
As the sunrises, the forest comes alive with exotic sounds from monkeys, birds, and other wildlife. If you’re lucky enough like me, you will also get to experience seeing some of the beautiful exotic animals on this property, like monkeys, giant squirrels, and flying lizards. With many activities at the resort, like yoga classes, spa treatments, and cooking classes, you can never get bored.
My Experience:
This place completely blew me away! From the moment I got there until my very last second, this resort has stolen my heart. I arrived at the hotel during night time after a long drive, through the beautiful landscape of Munnar, until I finally arrived in Wayanad. When I arrived at Vythiri Resort, I was kindly greeted like a queen. The staff members including the manager of the resort were waiting for my arrival. I was welcomed with a traditional Bindi mark on the forehead, followed by a tropical welcome drink. After receiving my room key and checking in, I was taken to my room by a golf cart because the property is a 150 acre and not easy to find at night in the jungles. I was amazed to arrive in my own private Villa and my home for the next few days. Shortly after arriving at my room I was greeted with a knock on the door and received a beautiful bouquet of red and pink roses! I later enjoyed a lovely dinner with the manager of the resort, who gave some helpful tips about the city and resort.
During my stay at the Vythiri Resort, I enjoyed an early morning yoga class, I got an amazing traditional Ayurveda Kerala massage, I got to climb up into a treehouse and see the beautiful rainforest from up high. I walked across beautiful bridges in the jungles and I also got to see around 50 monkeys and a few giant squirrels. I woke up every morning to a beautiful big balcony facing the beautiful rain forest. It’s one of my favorite hotels I ever stayed at! The hotel staff was very kind and helpful. It was all just incredible!
