Spice Village

A sense of place

Elephant-grass roofs, stone floors and shaded porches give Spice Village a character rooted in Thekkady. Cottages take their cues from local Mannan homes, with simple materials and garden views. Days can move between the pool, a cookery demonstration and an outing around Periyar, with regional food providing another way to understand the place.
