We wanted to take a break from our hectic schedule and planned to visit Wayanad. We chose to stay in banasura island retreat. The place is located in middle of an excellent landscape. We were amazed by the breathtaking view of the banasura dam/lake from the cottage and the misty mountains. We were moved by the hospitality of the staffs... More

Our experience to stay at this property was excellent. we already informed in advance that we are vegetarian so proper care of our food was taken. Evening with camp fire was good. View of banasura dam was excellent. Morning mist experience was unforgettable. Dr Jain

This is one of the most beautifully located resorts in Wayanad. Overlooking the Banasura sagar reservoir, the view from the cottages can be ethereal particularly during the dawn and dusk. The Constant mountain breeze wafting in obviates the need for Air-conditioning. Alas, the praise ends here. The place is not run on professional lines. Nor does it exude the innocent... More

This place is situated at one of the best locations in Wayanad!!! Very secluded and romantic. We have been there right after marriage, with little expectation(read it as no expectation). But was wonderful on reaching there. The natural reservoir has one of the best views and is at its best during monsoon/ post monsoon, as is the case with the... More

We had a trip of a lifetime here. We had booked a honeymoon package, we were two couples and booked the Nalukettu rooms. Believe us the 1st floor Nalukettu rooms are the best. The food, the views, the rooms, the location, the staff and everything that was included was awesome and really made it a super value for money. Recommended... More

We were in wayanad banasura island retreat during the month end of january. We enjoyed the stay over there. The managers are very down towards and expecially the food is very good. They prepared foods matching the tamil nadu style also. Since summer started in january, we are not able to enjoy the beauty of wayanad at the core. Even... More

The resort will provide you a picturesque experience undoubtedly, and if you can really afford around 7/night you can enjoy the individual villa they are offering. The food is good and you cant afford to complain, but nothing left in the resort to enjoy a long weekend. Those who prefers a night or max 2, its fine. Planning for a... More
