Spice Village is in Kumily, a small settlement 3 kilometres from Thekkady, the main entrance to the Periyar Tiger Reserve. The resort consists of 52 cottages set in eight acres of forest. The design of each cottage was inspired by Oorali and Mannanlocal tribesmen who still carry on their age old practices in perfect harmony with nature.
The necessary creature comforts have been added to combine luxury with authenticity. The rooms are spacious and furnished with simple sophistication. A verandah runs around each cottage which is set in its own land. At the centre of the resort is a fine swimming pool surrounded by tropical trees and lawns.
Spice Village offers something for everyone and is highly recommended as a destination for an extended stay to perhaps enjoy some ayurvedic treatments, or for shorter stays that form part of a hectic Kerala schedule that includes the beach, backwaters and mountains.
