· Ideal destination for Couples, Family Vacationers, Reunions and Nature Enthusiasts

Chennai, 03.08.2023 – Sterling Holiday Resorts, India's leading leisure hospitality brand, announced the opening of its new resort in Vythiri, Wayanad. This is Sterling’s 2nd resort in the bustling tourist destination of Wayanad, adding to its existing resort at Sultan Bathery. With this, Sterling’s portfolio in God’s Own Country extends to seven.

Nestled amidst a lush 4.5-acre green landscape with 27 beautifully furnished suites and cottages, the main attraction of Sterling Vythiri Wayanad is the tranquil rivulet of the Kabini river flowing through the resort. An awe-inspiring 80 ft giant bamboo thicket and a restored Russian army truck provide unique selfie-spots in the property.

Within a 2-hour drive from Calicut International Airport, and 1 ¼ hour drive from Sterling Wayanad, the resort is ideal as a romantic getaway for couples, newlyweds or nature enthusiasts on a quiet escapade. A stay at Sterling Vythiri Wayanad can help one indulge in much needed ‘me-time’ with soul-pampering activities. Breath taking sunrise and sunset views, immersive bird-watching trails or a gentle cycling trip around the resort will help one simply unwind.

Spring Valley – the multi-cuisine restaurant promises exotic Moplah / Malabari cuisine along with select Indian and global favourites. Chemmeen kudampuliyittathu, Malabari peralan and Veg mappas promise to offer food enthusiasts a gastronomic journey across Kerala’s rich cuisines all at one destination.

Other nearby attractions include the captivating Manjappara View Point, offering picturesque sights, boating in the scenic Pookode Lake, exploring the glass bridge of Thollayiram Kandi, and visiting the unique Seetha temple at Pulpally, the only one of its kind in India. For adventure-seekers, there are options like bamboo rafting at Kuruvadweep, thrilling trekking adventures on the Chembra Peak, and much more to explore.

“This is our 7th resort in Kerala and our portfolio includes: hill stations, lake side, jungle, pilgrimage and drive-to destinations. There is a surging tourism demand for Kerala that we would like to tap and we are planning to further expand our presence with more resorts across the state.”

Vikram Lalvani, MD and CEO of Sterling Holiday

“We are sure that our Vythiri resort will form a nice circuit with the existing Sterling Wayanad resort making it an ideal 5-day holiday for our guests to enjoy the natural beauty and rich culture that Wayanad has to offer. We are delighted to join hands with Sterling to present a world-class hospitality experience to our esteemed guests.”
