Finally, a Good Family Resort in Wayanad Where Everyone's Actually Happy (Yes, Even the Teenager)
A good family resort in Wayanad understands that every family arrives with its own mix of personalities. There is the five-year-old with endless energy, the teenager who did not want to come, the grandparent looking for a quiet corner, and that one uncle who turns everything into a competition.
GReaT trails Wayanad by GRT Hotels fits the bill perfectly, keeping everyone just engaged enough that no one ends up asking, “so… what do we do now?”
- Kids' Play Area: A real one. Dedicated, well-equipped, and right there on the property.
- Trampoline: Ten minutes on this, and the post-lunch energy problem solves itself
- Indoor Games + Table Tennis: Competitive uncle approved
- Outdoor Badminton Court: Friendly rallies that can quickly turn competitive.
- Pet-friendly Stays: Complimentary stay, dedicated pet park, and pet-friendly amenities, so your furry companions can enjoy the holiday too
Summer Vacation in Wayanad: The Hills Don't Care About the Heatwave
While the plains are busy having their annual summer meltdown, Wayanad quietly sits 700–2,100 m above sea level in the Western Ghats, cool and completely unbothered.
Dense forests, rolling coffee plantations, and misty valleys create a natural climate that works like nature’s own air-conditioning, and it runs all summer without charging you a single rupee.
From March to May, when the city heat begins to test everyone’s patience, Wayanad offers a refreshing contrast. Our resort’s surroundings thrive in this climate, naturally slowing the pace of the day and creating a sense of calm. With temperatures ranging between 20°C and 35°C, it remains comfortable for all, whether you are looking to unwind, explore, or simply escape the chaos.
Local Travelling Tip: Wayanad's coffee is legendary. The region produces some of Kerala's finest Arabica and Robusta beans, and wandering through a working plantation (which is essentially our resort's backyard here) gives you a whole new appreciation for your morning cup. Even if you're a chai person.
Where You'll Sleep: Estate Villas, Verandah Villas & Bungalows
The rooms here aren't just places to collapse after a day of activities; they're actually a part of the experience. Every accommodation at our Wayanad Resort for family vacations has been designed with the plantation setting in mind: warm wooden ceilings, vintage decor, and windows that frame views no interior designer could replicate.
Estate Villa With Balcony
700 sq. ft. | Sleeps up to 4 | 1 extra-large bed | 16 villas
With a private balcony looking out over stretches of coffee plantations and warm colonial-style interiors, this room invites slow mornings.
Estate Villa With Verandah
800 sq. ft. | Sleeps up to 4 | 1 large double bed | 16 villas
An enclosed rain shower, a skylit bathtub, and a verandah set within the coffee estate. Paired with warm interiors, a king size bed, and generous space, the setting feels quietly connected to its surroundings
Estate Bungalow
800 sq. ft. | Sleeps up to 4 | 10 bungalows
Elevated on a natural slope, because why settle for a view when you can have the best view? Coffee-and-spice themed, indoor rain shower, the kind of room that makes all future hotel stays slightly disappointing.

Dining at Augusta Heights: Where the View is On the Menu Too
The in-house restaurant overlooks the estate, with the Kabini River’s landscape stretching beyond the plantations, so meals here come with a view that tends to slow everyone down a little. The menu covers a wide range of preferences, but one experience worth trying is the Kerala Sadya served on a banana leaf as part of the God’s Own GReaT Feast: a traditional spread of rice, sambar, rasam, aviyal, olan, papad, pickles, and more. If your family hasn’t sat down to a proper Sadya yet, this is usually where that changes.
Things to Do Without Leaving the Property
- Infinity Pool: The one from the reviews. Every single word of the praise is accurate
- Cycling: Through the estate rows, no schedule, no hurry
- Burma Bridge: A gently swaying rope bridge that adds a touch of adventure, with just enough thrill to make it memorable
- Zipline: Fun for kids and their equally excited grown-ups, just stay on the lighter side of 80 kg and glide away with pay-per-ride access.
- Coffee Plantation: Guided explorations through the estate and surrounding trails that reveal how coffee grows and why Wayanad’s biodiversity deserves a closer look
- Nature Walks: Kids lead the way like explorers, parents pretend they’re not tired, and everyone somehow ends up spotting something worth stopping for
