Plantation Homestays in Wayanad

Live inside a working plantation. Coffee, tea and spice estate stays with home-cooked Kerala food, misty morning walks and warm local hospitality.

The Authentic Wayanad Experience

Wayanad is built on plantations - coffee, tea, cardamom, pepper and vanilla. Staying in a plantation homestay means living with a farming family in their estate home, eating food cooked from their own gardens and walking through working fields as the mist lifts.

It is the most authentic and affordable way to experience Wayanad, and it is especially loved by families, couples and travellers who want more than a hotel room.
