Tranquil Resort - Blusalzz Collection, Wayanad - Kerala

Best homestay I’ve stayed in anywhere in south India. The caretakers are amazing, Ajay and Nisha are there for anything you need on the property. You get a great idea of what it’s like to live on a coffee plantation. Did a one of their treks on the property and one of their dogs even accompanied us on it. The food is top just amazing!! A lot of their food is prepared with local produce from the plantation. Got a variety of jams that would rival any restaurant. Must visit, especially if you’d like to stay in their beautiful tree house.

Nestled in a 400 acre coffee estate near the Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary in Kerala, Tranquil is truly a world class holiday experience ! I stayed in the Pool villa which can easily house 6-8 people. Superbly appointed with all mod cons and truly luxurious it also has a lovely plunge pool to while away your time in, while listening to the sounds of the jungle. They also have amazingly beautiful tree houses to stay in among the accommodation options. There are many scenic and well marked treks to walk around the estate in. A must do while you’re there to take in the amazing surroundings! The WiFi is fast and reliable so you stay in touch with the world while you relax 😃 Service here is of top notch quality with attentive and friendly staff who take extra effort to attend to your every need. As for the food, I cannot stress enough how wonderful the offerings are. Authentic local specialities as well as international food are served buffet style with huge attention to quality of ingredients ! Chef Shivadas is doing wonders there :) It’s a very pleasant 6 hr drive from bangalore and easily accessible. All in all highly recommended and a place I would go back to time and time again.

Beautiful place to separate yourself from the norms of a city life. Ajay and his family greeted us with hospitality that fed the soul and food that is warm to the heart ❤️ The doggos add so much to this wholesome experience. Can't wait to go back again.

We were keen to stay at Tranquil after a previous trip there fell through, and we're so pleased we did! The resort is all we wanted and more - comfortable, beautiful and relaxing. We stayed in the Pool Villa, which is extremely well appointed, with very tasteful and good-quality fittings. Ajay and Nisha are wonderful hosts - friendly, helpful and cheerful - and their staff (especially Mr Swamy) could not do enough to make our stay special. The food was delicious and plentiful, and we enjoyed the massages. Thank god for the walks around the estate - if it weren't for them we'd have lounged around way too much for our own good! We can't wait to stay at Tranquil again. Many thanks, Ajay & Nisha, for creating this outstanding resort and for the care with which you look after your guests.

Amazing boutique resort in mega coffee plantation . Rooms are tastefully done , large in size and well maintained. Food served here was also elaborate and very tasty . Mr Swamy and team provided amazing service . Sitting in veranda and chit chatting with friends in monsoon of Waynad was memorable. Resort is close to eddakal caves and sultan bathery main market. Google location do not take you to exact location, so you may have to call to locate it.

Ajay and Nisha were great hosts, we had such a lovely few nights at Tranquil. On arrival, we were presented with a superb late lunch, whech we really weren't expecting. Indeed, all the food was absolutely delicious, first rate. The evening bar was very good for meeting up with the other guests and, although maybe not everyone's ideal, we really enjoyed the communal eating arrangement. The swimming pool is gorgeous. Tranquil is in a fantastic location and the walking routes make it very special. Ajay also took time to show us the coffee plantation and explain the processes involved, which was much appreciated and very interesting. We stayed in one of the treehouses, which was great fun, even the monkey invasion on our last morning! Most of the time it was a very peaceful refuge, with just the sounds of the forest for relaxation. The treehouse is about to undergo a big refusrbishment - that would earn a 5th star from us I'm sure. Thank you to Ajay and Nisha and all the brilliant staff for a great stay.

Obsessed with this hotel, can not recommend it highly enough! The setting is mindblowing, it is up in the mountains surrounded by plantations. The best part of the hotel is that there are walking trails all around the grounds, with maps, signs and trail markings. The nature and scenery is outstanding. The hotel is decorated with millions of plants, some of which are in pots made from recycled materials, it is a complete oasis for nature lovers. I would highly recommend the treehouses but you need to book them in advance. Another amazing aspect of Tranquil was the food, everything was home-made including all the jams, chutneys and pickled condiments. The food was a buffet but it was always varied, we had a delicious coconut milk vegetable soup served in a whole green coconut! We booked for one night but loved it so much that we had to extend! The only negative is that we did a bag of laundry not checking the prices in the booklet in the room or asking the staff as we dropped it off in a rush, when we left we were charged £40 for it! The same bag of laundry was only £3 everywhere else in our trip, we were very shocked at the price and think the staff should always mention it is 50p for one sock so it doesn't come as a shock and the guests have a chance to reduce the quantity.

We stopped off here for a couple of nights on the recommendation of our tour company. A warm welcome from the owners was followed by a delicious late lunch, a bit of exploring and a few chilly lengths of the pool. The following morning, we walked up the hill through the coffee plantation, passing the workers collecting the beans. The paths are all marked and easy to follow and the views from the top are stunning. The sound of birds and the sun streaming through the high canopy is magical and every so often one comes across a troop of monkeys. After tea, which is very jolly with home made cakes, the owner gave us a tour of the coffee collection area and explained the process from bean to cup. It was all very informative and put the whole enterprise into perspective. In the background the workers were weighing their days work and spreading the beans in the sun. All in all a fascinating and charming place. Our treehouse, however, was a tiny bit disappointing. Having pored over the photographs at home it was a pity to find the room and particularly the bathrooms, dated and tired. The owner did mention that it was due for a refurb and that we were to be last guests in its present state (thanks!). The monkeys were a bit bothersome rendering the viewing terrace outside the bedroom unusable. An enjoyable stay nonetheless.

Lovely old coffee plantation house. Pretty, clean pool and peaceful setting. Very comfortable bed and well equipped room. Ajay and Nisha were very welcoming and all the staff very helpful and friendly. There are lots of trails to wander through to soak up the tranquillity. We did a couple of guided bird watching tours through the plantation and saw lots of lovely birds.
