Editor's Review

At Vagamon Heights, you will feel totally disconnected from the outside world. The staff makes you feel completely at home though. The location of the estate is very beautiful and many nature-related activities are provided. You cannot expect any modern amenities and although the food is great, foodies will not really enjoy it because there are only a few varieties available.

  • Beautiful unspoiled natural location.
  • The rooms, services and food are great.
