Vagamon Heights

Tucked into Vagamon, about 5 km from the town center, Vagamon Heights is an eco-friendly plantation resort on a 250-acre estate. Pet-friendly and family-friendly, it sits amid 60 acres of cardamom groves and includes two private lakes for guests.

Expect a nature-first vibe with simple, comfortable rooms (showers in-room) and plenty of outdoor spots to unwind. Forest walks through the cardamom plantation and lakeside nooks give the place a back-to-nature, slightly boutique feel.

Standout features include two private lakes, an outdoor pool, picnic and barbecue areas, and kids' playrooms. Guests can book excursions at the tour desk, enjoy on-site parking, and wake up to misty, cardamom-scented mornings on the estate.

Free Wi-Fi across the property and on-site parking. Concierge, car rental and a safe-deposit box help with logistics.

An on-site restaurant serves guests, with casual outdoor dining options at the picnic and barbecue areas for family-friendly meals.
