The Story Behind 8.5 Acres
Set in the serene hills of Vagamon, 8.5 Acres is more than just a resort; it is a sanctuary for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike. Surrounded by lush cardamom and tea plantations, our property provides an idyllic setting for relaxation and exploration.
8.5 Acres began as a dream of two sisters to share the natural beauty of Vagamon with visitors. This vision has blossomed into a tranquil retreat that honors the local landscape and showcases its beauty. If you have been here, you will know that this is different from a typical resort. Each room we have is unique in its architecture and is built to maximize comfort and privacy of our guests.
Over the years, we have had the pleasure of serving a diverse clientele, including families, couples, and solo travelers. For the holiday makers, this is an oasis of bliss and tranquility that keeps calling them back. For the writers and creatives, this is a muse that inspires passion and art. The meandering paths, sparkling rivulets and emerald slopes evoke romance and endless discoveries for the wanderers. Our guests appreciate the blend of comfort, hospitality and authenticity that we offer, making their stay truly unforgettable.
