Spice Tree, Munnar, Kerala

Offering great value in the lap of nature, Spice Tree is pleasantly luxurious. With just 14-rooms, their base category room includes a Jacuzzi bath, but if you really want to treat yourself, you could always opt for one of the two Pool Villas, which make the most of the panoramic forest views. That’s what you’re here for after all. The staff are excellent and pay every attention to your needs and requests. The food stands out and is locally sourced wherever possible, such is Spice Tree’s commitment to sustainable and responsible tourism. It’s the sort of place you can do as much, or as little, as you like. Choose from yoga and meditation sessions, traditional spa treatments, tea tasting, cooking classes, village and plantation walks, and more. Or simply take in the views from the pool. Without question one of the most popular stays in the misty Munnar hills.
