Vythiri Palace is a three star property outside Kalpetta in Wayanad district, North Kerala, 9.2 km from the centre of Kalpetta. It holds a guest score of 4.4 out of 5 from 829 reviews. The deciding factor is the location: if you want a base in the Wayanad hills with an outdoor pool and shuttle service, it fits. If you need to be in town, it does not.
Rooms and what is provided
Vythiri Palace lists a 24 hour front desk, breakfast, free WiFi, free parking, a kitchen, laundry, non smoking rooms, an outdoor pool, room service, a shuttle service and a terrace. The guest score is 4.4 out of 5 from 829 reviews, which is strong for a three star property. The combination of a kitchen and breakfast means you can eat in or have the first meal of the day provided, and the terrace gives you somewhere to sit outside without leaving the grounds.
The outdoor pool is the main leisure facility. The shuttle service is useful because the property sits outside Kalpetta rather than in it, so you are not dependent on your own vehicle for every trip. The 24 hour front desk and room service mean late arrivals and odd hours are manageable, and laundry is there for longer stays.
Where the property sits
Vythiri Palace is outside Kalpetta, in the wider Wayanad district, 9.2 km from the centre of Kalpetta. Kalpetta is the headquarters of Wayanad district, in North Kerala. The destination is Wayanad, 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 hills here sit at 700 to 2,100 m.
The wider Wayanad area is older than the tourist map: the Edakkal petroglyphs are neolithic. Coffee, cardamom and pepper are grown under canopy, which is why the hills stay green rather than clipped. Edakkal, Thirunelli and the Jain temple at Sultan Bathery are all inside an hour of each other. The tiger reserve borders Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, so the forest is continuous in three directions.
Who will be comfortable here
Vythiri Palace suits travellers who want a hill base with a pool and a shuttle service, and who do not mind being 9.2 km from the centre of Kalpetta. It also suits anyone who values a kitchen and laundry on a longer stay, and the 4.4 guest score suggests most guests are satisfied. It does not suit anyone who wants to be in the middle of Kalpetta, or who needs to be within easy reach of the town centre on foot.
When to plan a stay
The season for Wayanad is September to May. The ghat road is the weak point in heavy rain, so the months of the south west monsoon are best avoided if you are driving in. Outside that window, the altitude keeps the hills cool, and the coffee and pepper under canopy stay green rather than clipped. Plan around the road conditions rather than the temperature.
