Windflower is set in a tranquil coffee and tea estate, a rich legacy of an English planter's pioneering spirit. In fact, from the time you drive in, the sweep of Vythiri's landscape, the signature Buddha statue and water bodies prepare you for the serenity of the resort. Saunter into your sit out and behold the awe-inspiring Chembra Peak that defines the property - its grey peaks peeping through the wet, white clinging mist.

The scenic sight is yours even as you sit down to feast on a scrumptious breakfast at the restaurant's expansive open air balcony; or when you wait in quiet contemplation outside the Spa and even as you float feather-like in their swimming pool fringed by Silver trees. These mountain top views are the essence of Vythiri and pervade the entire property.

At the Windflower, the Villas and Suites aren't rooms but generous and well appointed spaces, where you can connect with nature in privacy and tranquility. Kerala themed architecture with Indonesian furniture and dark wooden floors lend an aesthetic air while roomy interiors and high ceilings enhance the sense of space. Spacious, elegantly designed bathrooms, embellished with the Iraya range of natural bath products take the experience even further.

The Windflower Suite
The Windflower Suites come with enough space and more to relax and entertain you. Step out into the balcony and grab a chair with a cup of steaming coffee. Sit back and internalize the majestic views of the plantation and rainforest - with only your thoughts for company.

The Windflower Villa
Saunter out of the Windflower Villa and immerse yourself in our outdoor Jacuzzi, overlooking the most spectacular views of the Chembra Peak. Marvel at the plunge of the valley just a few feet away, even as the mountains in turn envyingly look upon you. Enjoy the complete solitude outside and within.
