Tree House with thatched roof raised on wooden stilts amid dense plantation greenery, Carmelia Haven, Thekkady By enquiry
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.
