“Some places don’t just take you away — they bring you home to yourself.”
That’s how Wayanad felt from the very first moment. The winding roads, mist curling around tall trees, and the rhythmic chirping of cicadas promised something extraordinary. We came here as a group of friends looking for a break. What we found at Indeevara Retreat, one of the finest Vythiri resorts, was a story — of relaxation, laughter, and rediscovering the joy of slowing down.
Whispers of the Hills
Tucked deep in Kerala’s Western Ghats, Wayanad is a land where nature paints in every shade of green. Mist-covered valleys stretch endlessly, waterfalls tumble from cliffs, and sunlight filters through thick canopies.
The Wayanad package began with this stunning introduction — an escape where the air felt fresher, the pace gentler, and every turn revealed another breathtaking view.
Welcome to Serenity
Driving through bamboo groves, we arrived at Indeevara Retreat — vythiri resorts a sanctuary set amidst forested slopes. The moment we stepped out, we were greeted with smiles, cool towels, and a refreshing herbal drink. The warmth of hospitality made us feel instantly at home.
The cottages, inspired by traditional Kerala architecture, blended effortlessly with nature — sloping roofs, stone pillars, and lush gardens at every turn. From cozy family suites to romantic pool villas, the resort offered something for everyone.
Dive into Calm
After a long drive, nothing felt better than a dip in the turquoise pool overlooking the mountains. The view was mesmerizing — palm fronds swayed gently as the hills stood silent and still.
Kids laughed in the play area, couples floated lazily in the water, and the soft breeze carried the scent of wet earth. It was the kind of peace only a place like Wayanad could offer.

Spa & Soul
The Tulasi Wellness Spa at Indeevara Retreat redefined rejuvenation. Rooted in Kerala’s Ayurvedic traditions, it was more than just a spa — it was a spiritual pause.
We experienced synchronized massages, herbal therapies, and steam detox sessions that left us refreshed and balanced. The therapists moved with the rhythm of calm, using fragrant oils and age-old techniques to heal and relax.

Cuisine
Every meal here was a celebration. The resort’s multi-cuisine restaurant served local favorites like Malabar biryani, appams, and spicy fish curry alongside international dishes. Breakfast was an open-air affair — fresh fruit, hot dosas, and the sound of birdsong.
Evenings were even better — candlelit dinners by the pool, laughter echoing under a starlit sky, and the unmistakable warmth of good company.
Play & Unwind
Between adventures, there was plenty of fun right inside the resort. The indoor game zone had table tennis, pool, carrom, and giant chess. The laughter from the game room never seemed to stop.
For families, there was a cheerful kids’ play area, and for those who preferred quiet, a shaded garden nook was always nearby. Every corner of the resort was designed to entertain and relax — a perfect balance for all ages.

Adventures Await
Outside the resort, Wayanad unfolded its treasures. Each stop on our Wayanad package felt like a discovery, making it easy to see why Vythiri resorts are known for blending nature, comfort, and adventure in perfect harmony.
- Chembra Peak — a misty trek leading to the iconic heart-shaped lake.
- Edakkal Caves — prehistoric rock carvings that whispered stories of ancient civilizations.
- Banasura Sagar Dam — a shimmering lake perfect for boating and zip-lining.
- Soochipara Waterfalls — where cool sprays kissed our faces as we hiked through the forest.
- Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary — home to elephants, deer, and the untamed soul of the forest.
Nature & Peace
Mornings began with guided nature walks, where sunlight danced on dewdrops and the air smelled of cardamom and wildflowers. Our guide showed us exotic birds, butterflies, and hidden trails — small reminders of why Wayanad is one of Kerala’s most beloved eco-destinations.
Local Charm
Before leaving, we stopped by the Vythiri market — an aromatic wonderland of spices, coffee beans, and handmade crafts. Each purchase felt like taking a little piece of Wayanad home.
Evening Glow
Nights at Indeevara were pure magic. A bonfire flickered under the stars, soft music filled the air, and the hills glowed faintly in the moonlight. We shared stories, laughter, and silence — all at once.
Wayanad had a way of reminding us that happiness doesn’t always come from doing more — sometimes, it comes from just being.
