Eco-resort reimagined as a tribal village next to Periyar Tiger Reserve

Accommodations

Spice Village Thekkady - A Cgh Earth Experience offers 52 thatched-roof cottages built in the style of the local Mannan tribe. Each cottage includes a private verandah overlooking fruit trees and herb beds, with recycled pinewood furniture and red-oxide floors. The property also offers Deluxe Cottages with a private garden, providing additional outdoor space.

Dining & Culinary

The Tamarind Restaurant serves Kerala cuisine heavily flavored by local spices, with the chef able to prepare traditional tribal curries and Western dishes. Ingredients come from the resort's own fully organic garden, and master chefs conduct interactive cooking classes for guests. The Woodhouse Lounge bar offers billiards and a range of drinks, while the 50 Mile Restaurant focuses on locally sourced produce.

Activities & Entertainment

Guests can make their own handmade paper at the resort's paper-making center, a sustainability activity open to all. The property includes an outdoor swimming pool, a tennis court, and a half basketball court, plus daily cultural dance performances in the amphitheater. Evening entertainment also features guided property tours covering the water recycling plant and vermicompost facilities.

Wellness & Spa

Skilled Ayurvedic doctors provide consultations and tailored wellness packages at the on-site spa, including full-body massages and yoga classes. The spa offers treatment rooms for back, foot, hand, and head massages, along with fitness/spa locker rooms. Sun loungers and umbrellas are available around the pool for relaxation between sessions.

Location & Sustainability

The resort is a 10-minute walk from Periyar Tiger Reserve and 1 km from KSRTC Bus Depot, with the Kumily spice gardens and local waterfalls nearby.
