ABOUT FOREST MAZE

Where Nature, Wellness,
and Luxury Converge

Forest Maze Resort, a unit of Riftha Group of Hotels and Resorts, is a luxury forest resort in Wayanad built for travellers who want more than a room. They want an experience — one that feels private, purposeful, and genuinely connected to the natural world around them.

Nestled deep within the rainforest of North Wayanad near the Kabani River, the resort sits inside a living ecosystem of over 650 plant species, rare herbs, exotic birds, butterflies, and forest wildlife. The surrounding canopy is also home to distinctive and endangered mountain squirrel habitats — making Forest Maze an especially meaningful destination for nature lovers and wildlife enthusiasts.

OUR FOUNDING CONCEPT

The Austrian Stay — Reimagined in Kerala

What sets Forest Maze apart from every other resort in Wayanad is its founding concept: the Austrian Stay. Inspired by the immersive chalet culture of the European Alps, the resort introduced India's first Austria-inspired forest chalets into the heart of Kerala's rainforest — and took it further with a signature hut-on-hut interconnected bamboo chalet concept that is entirely its own.

These are not decorative choices. They are the reason people come — a slower, more intentional way of staying, where every chalet, walkway and shared space is designed to keep you close to the forest rather than shut away from it. It's mindful luxury in its truest form: immersive, unhurried, and unlike anywhere else in Kerala.

The Forest Maze Difference

Every detail at Forest Maze — from the architecture to the rhythm of the day — is shaped around one idea: that true luxury begins with a deep respect for the land it stands on.
