Parisons Plantation Experiences by Abad  

Set deep in 4,025 acres of lush tea fields in Vellamunda, Wayanad, Kerala. Think misty hills, endless green rows and a slow, plantation pace just outside Mananthavady. The property sits about 5 miles from Mananthavady and near the Kabani River. This is a boutique plantation stay and a family-friendly hideaway for anyone chasing tea trails and fresh-air escapes.

Ten bedrooms are spread across two spacious colonial-style bungalows — a Heritage Bungalow and a Boutique Bungalow located roughly 1.5 km apart. Rooms offer seating areas, private bathrooms with showers and baths, and simple in-room touches like desks and safety boxes. Expect plantation vibes, guided tea-factory and tea-field tours, trekking trails for all ages, and an exclusive Planters Club with both outdoor and indoor games. The setting is relaxed, slightly colonial, and very much about the tea-estate lifestyle.

Dip in the outdoor pool, keep fit in the gym, or unwind at the Ayurvedic spa and massage center. Steam bath and sauna add a wellness edge while picnic and barbecue areas fuel casual, social evenings. Games are serious fun here — tennis and badminton courts, table tennis, billiards and pool tables in the Planters Club. There are children’s playrooms, a library, tour assistance for excursions, parking and basic accessibility with an elevator.

Free Wi‑Fi is available across the property and many rooms include a desk space. Concierge services, luggage storage and private check-in/out help keep group logistics smooth.

On-site dining includes a restaurant and a dining room, plus a shared kitchen if you want to cook. Barbecue facilities are also provided for open-air meals. Tea is the local star — expect tours and tastings tied to the estate. Meals pair simply with plantation flavors and easy, homely dining for guests.
