The Story of Tyford Estate & Atithi Resort
Spanning approximately 2,900 acres at 3,400 feet above sea level in Peermade, Tyford Estate is a remarkable part of the region’s plantation heritage, surrounded by the serene beauty of the Western Ghats.
The estate’s story dates back to 1860, when it was established by missionary Henry Baker Jr. It initially flourished with coffee cultivation before transitioning to tea in 1885. Over the years, Tyford, Vembanad, and Fairfield were consolidated to form the renowned Tyford Tea Estate, stewarded by the Aban Group Ltd since 1993.
At the heart of the estate stood its charming heritage bungalow. Today, it has been thoughtfully transformed into Atithi Resort, preserving its historic character while offering modern comfort. The resort features five spacious en-suite bedrooms, elegant Victorian-era furniture, and contemporary amenities. Its east-facing patio overlooks green-clad hills, terraced tea plantations, and vibrant Flame-of-the-Forest trees.
Come experience the heritage, beauty, and timeless tranquillity of Atithi Resort.
