Tribal-Inspired Accommodations

Spice Village features 52 cottages modeled after Mannan tribal dwellings with elephant grass thatched roofs. Each cottage includes a private verandah overlooking fruit trees and herb beds, coir mats on stone floors, and hot-water showers. Furniture is crafted from recycled wooden crates from nearby seaports.

Local Sourcing Cuisine

The 50 Mile Restaurant serves Kerala cuisine using ingredients sourced within 50 miles of the resort. Chefs use vegetables from on-site organic farms, spices from local gardens, and fish from nearby rivers. Evening cookery classes teach traditional Kerala cooking techniques using regional spices.

Nature Activities Available

Guests can join guided treks through Periyar Tiger Reserve, bamboo raft rides on Periyar Lake, and naturalist-led walks through the 12-acre property. The resort features an oxygenated swimming pool surrounded by nature and a handmade paper-making center using recycled materials from kitchen waste and old fabrics.

Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary Access

Located in Thekkady hills, the resort is 500 meters from Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary and Periyar Tiger Reserve forest. The area contains 62 mammal species, 320 bird species, and rare medicinal plants. Cochin International Airport is a 4-hour drive away, with Kottayam serving as the nearest railway station and town.

Eco-Conscious Guest Services

Services include naturalist guidance for wildlife viewing, interpretation center with exhibits on local flora and fauna, and gift shop featuring local Kerala crafts. The property has eliminated 45,000 plastic water bottles annually and converts 250-400 kg of food waste daily into vermicompost for organic gardens.

“The resort's dedication to eco-tourism stands out, particularly its organic garden and paper-making center. Inspired by a tribal village, the property provides a peaceful setting near the Periyar Tiger Reserve, and the interactive cooking classes are a highlight. I appreciate how its design integrates local traditions with a focus on sustainable practices.”
