Hotel Spice Village

Spice Village is a group of white washed bungalows with thick elephant grass thatched roofs and large verandahs all around. The bungalows are scattered around the Village's luxuriant spice gardens, many of which are used in the resort's kitchen. The resort has limited room service since it is spread out over eight acres. However, the buffet meals are lavish affairs with vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. The meals are laid out in the resort's dining room. All around are handmade tables and benches made from rubberwood. There is another restaurant, The Tiffin Room, with its more than a hundred year old antique rosewood furniture. In addition, there is a well-stocked bar. At the centre of the village is the swimming pool and there are facilities for badminton, table tennis and a host of indoor games. The hotel has a resident botanist to answer guest's queries about the wide variety of trees and spices around. The hotel also provides trips to explore the Periyar Tiger Reserve by boat. The resort has its own shop, an Ayurvedic Centre, a dispensary and highly trained traditional masseurs.
