Property Overview 

Nestled amidst the emerald hills and mist‑kissed valleys of the Western Ghats, Blackberry Hills Nature Resort & Spa in Pothamedu, Munnar, Kerala, is a sanctuary for the holistic traveler. Spread over a private 10‑acre hillside estate, the resort offers a harmonious blend of sustainable luxury, wellness, and nature. Cottages and suites are thoughtfully designed to blend into the landscape, offering panoramic valley and tea‑garden views from balconies or private jacuzzis.

The heart of the retreat is the Sisal Spa, where authentic Ayurvedic treatments and international wellness rituals become mediums for healing and restoration. Guests can begin their day with guided yoga and meditation sessions, stroll through native planting zones and vetiver gardens, or partake in forest and Shola treks surrounded by rare flora and fauna. Dining is a mindful affair: Hornbill and Sisal restaurants serve fresh, organic or locally sourced ingredients, seasonal menus, and wellness‑oriented options in open‑terrace settings overlooking the hills.

What truly sets Blackberry Hills apart is its commitment to sustainability. The resort harnesses renewable energy, practices soil conservation using vetiver grass, composes organic waste, and implements eco‑sensitive landscaping to protect biodiversity. Interiors are rustic yet elegant, with natural materials, warm lighting, and minimal‑impact construction. For those seeking refuge from city stress, a period of calm, or a wellness reset enveloped in nature, Blackberry Hills offers an immersive, regenerative stay.

Stay Experience & Unique Design

Stays at Blackberry Hills are about intimacy with nature. Imagine waking up in a cottage, balcony doors opening to mist rolling over tea gardens, birdcalls as alarm clocks. Sunlight filtering through trees for morning yoga; evenings by candlelit pathways; meals by terraces with valley panoramas; spa treatments in small, peaceful spaces. Interiors mix rustic charm (locally sourced wood, stone, handcrafted artefacts) with modern comforts. The layout intentionally leaves large parts of estate untouched, so the resort feels like you’ve stepped into nature rather than built on it.
