Infinity Pool stays in Wayanad
An infinity pool is designed so the water seems to flow straight into the view, and in Wayanad that view is misty valleys, tea estates, forest, or the islands of Banasura Sagar. These stays make the most of hillside and lakeside locations. Some pools are shared by all guests, while a few villas have a private infinity edge. Check whether the pool faces the valley, its opening hours, and whether it stays open during the monsoon.

Why infinity pools suit Wayanad
Wayanad's hills, valleys, and reservoirs are made for infinity pools. Built on a slope or at the edge of a terrace, the pool's far edge seems to disappear into the landscape. The effect is strongest at sunrise, when mist fills the valleys below.
Types of infinity pool stays
- Valley-view resorts: shared infinity pools overlooking rainforest or tea estates, common around Vythiri, Lakkidi, and Meppadi.
- Lake-view stays: pools facing Banasura Sagar Dam or Karapuzha reservoir, around Padinjarathara and Ambalavayal.
- Pool villas: a few private villas have their own infinity edge, ideal for couples and small groups.
Getting the best out of an infinity pool
- Ask which way the pool faces. East-facing pools catch the sunrise, west-facing pools the sunset.
- Check the opening hours. Shared pools often close in the evening.
- Look at recent guest photos, since professional photos can exaggerate the view.
- Consider access. Many hillside stays with the best views sit on steep roads, so confirm a car can reach the property.
