Sterling Vythiri Wayanad Old Vythri

The Resort and Its Setting

Sterling Vythiri Wayanad Old Vythri sits in Lakkidi Po, one of the greenest corners of Wayanad district, where the land rises into the Western Ghats and cloud forests close in around the roads. As a Sterling Holidays property, the resort belongs to an established Indian timeshare brand with a long track record of running resorts across the country. It's affiliated with RCI, so owners can trade their week into RCI's wider resort network rather than returning to Wayanad every single year.

Wayanad: What There Is to Do

Wayanad is a hill station district built around tea and spice estates, forest reserves, and a climate noticeably cooler than the Kerala coast — a big part of its appeal to families and couples alike. From the resort's base in Lakkidi, owners and renters are within reach of Pookode Lake (around 12km), a calm freshwater lake good for an easy morning of boating, and Chembra Peak (about 18km), Wayanad's highest point and a serious draw for trekkers after valley views. Further out, Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary (roughly 25km) offers safari drives through forest home to elephants and other wildlife, while Edakkal Caves (about 20km) hold rock carvings thought to be thousands of years old. Soochipara Falls (around 22km), a three-tiered waterfall, is a popular stop for photographs and a swim, especially once the monsoon rains have filled it up.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Sterling Vythiri Wayanad Old Vythri and are considering a change, BidMyTimeshare.com works as an owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week yourself, set your own asking price, and buyers contact you directly through the platform. There's no commission on the sale — sellers simply pay a one-time listing fee to get their week in front of genuine buyers, rather than handing a cut to a broker.

Before you list, it's worth getting the resale mechanics from Sterling Holidays in writing: specifically the transfer fee charged to move ownership into a new member's name, whether Sterling Holidays or the resort's owners' association holds a right of first refusal on resales, and how long a transfer typically takes to process once a buyer is found. A resale buyer should also confirm, directly with Sterling Holidays, the current annual maintenance fee attached to the week, and whether RCI exchange membership carries over automatically or needs to be re-registered in the new owner's name. None of these figures are published here, so treat them as questions for the brand before agreeing a price — not assumptions to make.

Renters, meanwhile, tend to care less about ownership paperwork and more about dates, unit size, and what the week actually includes — so sellers offering a rental should be upfront about the season on offer and whether it lines up with Wayanad's cooler, drier months.

Practical Notes for Visitors

Calicut International Airport is the nearest major airport, around 90km from the resort, with taxis and rental cars the usual way to cover the last stretch into the hills. Roads into Lakkidi climb steadily, so journeys take longer than the distance on a map suggests, particularly during the rains.
