Spice Village is an eco-luxury resort nestled within a spice plantation on the fringes of the Periyar Tiger Reserve in Thekkady. The resort's 52 cottages are built using traditional tribal architecture with thatched roofs and natural materials, blending seamlessly into the surrounding jungle. Expert naturalists lead guided spice garden walks, bamboo rafting on Periyar Lake, and wildlife safaris into the core forest area. The organic kitchen garden supplies fresh produce to the restaurant, which serves traditional Kerala Nadan cuisine cooked on wood-fired stoves.
