Spice Village

Add to wishlist Contact us

Spice Village is a collection of individual cottages set in a landscaped spice garden in Thekkady, close to Periyar Wildlife Reserve.

Why we like Spice Village

A very comfortable place to stay in ‘the wilds’ of Kerala, where you can truly unwind, switch off and absorb the natural environment in all its glory.

Facilities

Spice Village is an eco-resort with a less is more ethos. There is no air-conditioning or television but wide open spaces, comfortable rooms with plenty of natural light and ventilation. The hotel has been designed with a Keralan Village type feel with thatched roof cottages scattered around the grounds. There is, of course, modern plumbing, comfortable beds and hot showers but the setting is stripped down to its natural essence. Staying here really feels like you are in the middle of nature.

Other facilities include a swimming pool, games room and an excellent restaurant. Ayurvedic treatment is also available on site.

Activities

The area is rich with biodiversity and nature walks are a must. Bird watching, hiking and visiting Periyar Wildlife Reserve.

Location

Spice Village is set amidst the spice plantations of Thekkady, close to Periyar Wildlife Reserve. Thekkady is a four to five-hour drive from Cochin and the same sort of distance from the tea estates of Munnar. Visitors to the area come here to walk in the plantations and visit the wildlife reserve.
