The Property

An unhurried stay in the Wayanad wilderness.

Idam was founded as a quiet refuge for travelers who appreciate nature in its unembellished state. Situated near the river delta of Kuruvadweep, the homestay overlooks a tranquil pond framed by indigenous trees and spice foliage.

There are no crowded corridors or impersonal check-in counters here. Guests wake to the rustle of bamboo, share homemade puttu or appams around the timber dining table, and spend evenings by a gentle campfire under dark, clear skies.
