Tree House with thatched roof raised on wooden stilts amid dense plantation greenery, Carmelia Haven, Thekkady
Thekkady · Plantation resort

Carmelia Haven

A resort set within a working tea and cardamom plantation at Vandanmedu, in the hills near Thekkady. The stays are the draw: wooden tree houses on stilts with wrap-around balconies over the plantation, plunge-pool villas, planters' villas, even a cave room. Kolumban, the restaurant, cooks old Kerala recipes alongside the multi-cuisine spread, and days go on plantation walks, jeep safaris and a look around the cardamom factory.

Spice Village

A CGH Earth resort built like a tribal village in a spice garden in the Periyar highlands, its cottages modelled on the dwellings of the native Mannan people and thatched with elephant grass. Spice runs through the cooking and the garden tours, with the Periyar Tiger Reserve at the door.
