Property Overview 

Perched in the mist‑laden hills of Munnar, The Tall Trees is a forest‑immersed resort spanning approximately 66 acres of pristine Shola forest, cardamom plantations, mossy streams, and towering endemic trees. With only 26 cottages thoughtfully spaced to preserve privacy and biodiversity, this resort strikes a delicate balance between luxury and nature. Each cottage is built on stilts or gently nestled into the terrain, preserving the trees and undergrowth; architecture blends rustic Kerala style—wood, stone, exposed beams—with modern comforts. Guests waking in cottages with private balconies are greeted by birdsong, dappled light through leaves, and panoramic views of hills rolling into the sky.

Wellness at Tall Trees is grounded in nature. The resort offers Ayurvedic massage and spa treatments, which guests often highlight in reviews, including herbal oils, full‑body massages, and relaxing therapies that soothe both body and mind. Yoga, meditation, or contemplative moments may be scheduled in natural settings—balconies, forest clearings, or terraces—immersed in the forest’s peace. Outdoor activities like guided nature walks, bird and butterfly watching, tea plantation walks, or short treks through virgin forestlands further deepen the connection with nature.

Dining is done in scenic settings: Hill Spice Restaurant, with a glass‑roofed dining area and views of tree canopy and sky, offers local Kerala specialities and international cuisine, often using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Eco‑friendly features are strong: cottages are built with minimal disturbance, stilts construction, preserving existing trees, integrating with the forest ecosystem, and large property area dedicated to green cover. The stay experience here is one of retreat: slower days, forest walks, massage by candlelight, birdcalls in early morning, scents of damp earth and spice. It is ideal for travellers seeking wellness interwoven with nature rather than pure luxury alone.
