Resorts in Wayanad

Wayanad's resort stock spans three distinct localities — Manjoora, Thariyode, and Lakkidi — and currently lists 3 full-service properties on Spalba. All three are self-contained retreats set within the district's hill and forest terrain, making them suited to events that benefit from an immersive natural setting rather than an urban venue. The spread of indoor, outdoor, and poolside event spaces across these properties gives planners meaningful variety even within a compact shortlist.

The Venues on the Shortlist

The three resorts represent a genuine range of character. Arayal Resort-A Unit of Sharoy Resort, located in Manjoora, offers multiple named event spaces including an Arayal Lawn, Silver Oak 1, Silver Oak 2, and a Pool Side area. Taj Wayanad Resort & Spa Kerala brings a full-service spa resort experience to the mix, while Abad Brookside Lakkidi, Wayanad, positioned in the elevated Lakkidi area, adds a riverside character to the selection. Between them, the available venue types include a Southern Spice hall, an Amphitheater, and poolside settings, alongside the lawn and oak spaces at Arayal.

Capacity Across Wayanad Resorts

The combined capacity range across these resorts runs from 16 to 216 guests. For most event formats, a working planning target of 80–160 guests aligns well with what these properties can accommodate comfortably. All 7 individual event spaces logged across the shortlist fall within the intimate-to-mid-scale bracket — none are configured for gatherings above 600 — which reflects Wayanad's character as a destination suited to curated, smaller-format events rather than large convention-style gatherings. If your guest count sits closer to the 16–50 range, the Amphitheater and poolside formats offer an appropriately scaled outdoor setting.

Where These Resorts Are Located

The three properties are spread across Manjoora, Thariyode, and Lakkidi. Lakkidi, one of the wettest localities in Kerala, frames Abad Brookside's setting with consistent greenery and cooler temperatures. Manjoora hosts Arayal Resort, giving access to its lawn and multi-room indoor configuration. Each locality sits within Wayanad district, so travel between them is manageable, though planners bringing outstation guests may want to factor in road conditions when choosing between hillside and valley settings.
