Property Overview

Perched amidst the lush spice hills and rolling tea estates of Bison Valley, Spice Tree, Munnar offers a rare fusion of eco‑luxury, holistic wellness, and sustainable living. With a view of misty valleys and framed by the Devan Hills, this boutique retreat is more than just a stay — it’s an immersive wellness experience. Each corner of Spice Tree evokes tranquility — from shaded forest trails and organic spice gardens to open yoga lawns and nature‑infused architecture that blends into the surroundings.

At its core, Spice Tree emphasizes mindful living. The design marries natural materials—local timber, stone, handcrafted finishes—with passive cooling and energy‑efficient systems (such as a solar‑heated pool). The resort nurtures its own herb and spice gardens (pepper, cardamom, cinnamon, etc.), integrating them into its Ayurvedic menu and spa therapies. The ambience is intimate: just a modest number of suites and private pool villas ensure seclusion and serenity.

Guests begin their day with guided yoga or meditation sessions, then savor organic, farm‑to‑table meals. Wellness treatments rooted in classical Ayurveda (tailored panchakarma, massage, herbal rituals) are offered in open therapy pavilions surrounded by nature. For those seeking balance, the holistic retreat programs offer detox, pranayama, and mindful walks through plantations. The overall experience at Spice Tree is slow, deliberate, and deeply restorative.

Dawn yoga on a misty terrace, afternoon walks among spice trees, evening Keralan dinners infused with freshly ground spices — all weave a sensory, contemplative stay.
