Vythiri Mist Resort is a three star property on Charity Road in Old Vythiri, in the hills above Kalpetta in Wayanad district, North Kerala. Across 2,144 reviews it holds 4.5 out of 5. The list runs long: two pools, a spa, massage, a restaurant and cafe, free WiFi and free parking. The single thing that decides whether it is right for you is whether you want a full facility resort in the hills rather than a small independent stay.

Where the resort sits
The address is Charity Road in Old Vythiri, in Wayanad district, North Kerala. The nearest town is Kalpetta, which is the headquarters of Wayanad district, and the resort is 8.6 km from the centre of Kalpetta.
The setting is outside Kalpetta, in the wider Wayanad district. Wayanad itself is a plateau in the north east, reached by a hairpin climb from the Malabar coast, with coffee and pepper under the trees rather than tea on open slopes. The destination altitude runs from 700 to 2,100 m. For context, the Edakkal petroglyphs are neolithic, and coffee, cardamom and pepper are grown under canopy, which is why the hills stay green rather than clipped.
Who this place suits
This resort suits people who want a managed property with pools, a spa, a restaurant and a full front desk in the Wayanad hills. It also suits families, since there are family rooms, a children's pool and a playground. It does not suit anyone looking for a small, independent stay with fewer moving parts, because the scale here is larger and the facility list is long. The 4.5 score from 2,144 reviews suggests the formula works, but the review count also means you are one of many.
When to plan a stay
September to May is the season for Wayanad. The ghat road is the weak point in heavy rain, so avoid the worst of the monsoon if you are driving up from the coast. The altitude runs from 700 to 2,100 m and the district grows coffee, cardamom and pepper under canopy, so the hills stay green in season. Edakkal, Thirunelli and the Jain temple at Sultan Bathery are all inside an hour of each other, which makes a base here useful for day trips.

Does the resort have a pool?
