Zostel Plus Wayanad

Zostel Plus Wayanad brings nature and the Zostel spirit all together in the heart of Wayanad’s scenic treasury. Nestled in a 700-acre private tea estate, the hostel hosts cheerful countryside vibes, thanks to its idyllic British-era construction and lush surroundings. Work, chill, and watch the sunset from the lavish amphitheatre area or machan, unwind in the hammock, take a refreshing dip in the mini-pool, enjoy bonfires under the night skies, and go on exclusive hikes around the estate. To add to the adventure, the famous Chembra Peak Trek, a popular backpackers’ hike, starts right from the hostel grounds. 

In the 19th century, a British company moved to the banks of the heart-shaped Hridaya Saras lake and established the tea plantation where Zostel Plus Wayanad is located. In the 1920s, the Chembra tea estate was established, which was later turned into a hospital. It was then renovated into a Zostel property in 2019. Our hostel, with a century-old history, is still in touch with its roots. 

Zostel Plus springs from our inkling to redefine social travel like our hostels and homestays. Our Zostel Plus properties are designed from the ground up to pamper you with exceptional locations, prime services, and unique stay experiences. Come, live it large with us.
