Niraamaya Retreats Cardamom Club

If getting spoilt is on the agenda, then book a room at Niraamaya Retreats Cardamom Club, sprawling across 16 acres of wooded plantation. Designed for exclusivity, this hotel has only six cottages. The property overlooks the breathtaking Spring Valley, away from the bustle of the town. Top-notch spa facilities (both Ayurveda and Western) are the talking point for Niraamaya apart from the fact that you are submerged in nature. There is little to hear apart from the sound of silence or chirping of birds. The aesthetically furnished cottages have thatched roofs made of bamboo leaves that ensure enough insulation; such that you never feel the need of an air conditioner. The resort is perfect for those who want some solitude. You can choose between self-imposed isolation or catch up with others at the bar or around the bonfire in the evenings. The yoga pavilion is yet another place where you are likely to bump into travellers who are fitness enthusiasts. Gorgeous views of the cardamom plantation, bird watching opportunity and access to Periyar National Park make this a coveted spot for travellers. After spending time outdoors, you can relax in the comfortable rooms of the property.
