True to its name, the Spice Village in the heart of the cardamom country of Kerala offers visitors to live and witness wildlife and natural beauty...
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.
LAGE
Spice Village is located in the Periyar wilderness, high in the western ghats of Kerala. For centuries, the area attracted voyagers and adventurers, mercenaries and empire builders, kings and merchant princes. Men and women drawn not only by the lure of spices, but by the romance and wild beauty of the land.
HOTELLEISTUNGEN
* Mealtimes at Spice Village are an unhurried affair. Eat too quickly, and you miss the subtle nuances that spices take on when they're absolutely fresh. Rush through your meal and you give yourself no chance to enjoy the amiable atmosphere that's common to all of the hotel's dining areas.
* There are three of these. Choose from the rustic wooden tables in the dining hall proper, or take a heaped plate out to the long verandah and enjoy your meal al fresco, watching the kingfishers flit around the swimming pool.
* Besides these literally is the historic Tiffin Room, where light snacks are served all day. The rosewood chairs and tables here are restored antiques, from a 100-year old restaurant in the next valley that sadly closed its doors in 1995. Spice Village's popular cookery classes for guests are also conducted here, most evenings, and you can pick up some tips while chef Velayuthan unveils a few (but only a few) of his secrets.
* Below you, the pool is a rippling blue patch, set in a scene abuzz with life. A kingfisher dives low out of a clear blue sky, hunting vainly for its fish lunch. Bees hum around Colombian coffee bushes. Guinea fowls and ducks chatter about (amazingly tame, because they're used to guests.) Bamboo bursts in tilting spires. Cascades of cinnamon, pepper and honeysuckle wash down the hillside. And everywhere, the structures of Spice Village peep out of the woods, as if growing naturally from the surroundings.
ZIMMERAUSSTATTUNG
* The resort itself consists of 52 cottages which are equipped with all the world class facilities of H/C running water, telephone, CCTV etc.
