Why Tranquil Resort, Wayanad is your perfect, stress-free destination to travel to during a pandemic!
We are a Plantation Hideaway in the middle of a 400-acre privately owned coffee, spices and exotic fruit plantation. With a small inventory of 10 unique rooms that include 2 tree houses, 2 deluxe room options and 5 standard garden room options each unique in their design and location which means the concept of ‘Social Distancing’ comes naturally to us. This being said, we are not taking anything lightly and are taking every possible safety precaution to keep our guests and our staff safe during this time.
A few reasons why you need to get here as soon as you can!
1. The Hosts and the resident staff have all been vaccinated.
2. You get to escape the city you’ve been trapped in and hit the open roads with a scenic highway drive that takes you through forests and farmlands!

4. Whether you’re in our tree house or garden room, you will be naturally socially distanced from other guests and staff.
5.We undergo two rounds of sanitization of any common areas twice daily.
6.Explore our natural surroundings through over 10 walking trails that let you take in fresh air, natural beauty and some stunning views of the 400-acre plantation!
7. Our staff and their families live on the property and have been extremely careful when it comes to safety and are waiting to pamper you! The staff has been trained in hygiene protocols as put down by the WHO and NRAI
8.Almost all our food is grown in our own gardens and the rest is sourced locally from the closest town from the property, ensuring a safe and fresh dining experience, from our farm to your table.
