Spice Village – A CGH Earth Experience
★★★★☆
Spice Village is a CGH Earth resort built as a recreation of a Kerala spice-growing village, on the edge of Periyar Tiger Reserve in Thekkady. Fifty-two cottages sit among real spice gardens, built from coir matting, thatch, and other natural materials. Each cottage keeps a separate sitting area and en-suite bathroom, with organic toiletries in keeping with the resort's sustainability focus. The resort's own paper-making centre shows guests how it turns plantation waste into handmade paper. Two restaurants serve Keralan and international dishes, largely using produce grown on site. An outdoor pool, a children's pool, and a spa tub sit within the gardens, alongside massage and Ayurveda treatment rooms. Thekkady itself is best known for wildlife. Spice Village puts guests within easy reach of Periyar's boat safaris and forest walks, as well as working spice and cardamom plantations nearby. An indoor tennis court and business centre round out the facilities for longer or working stays. Spice Village suits travellers who want Thekkady's forest and plantation setting matched by a resort that takes sustainability seriously. Its village-style layout and spice-garden grounds set it apart from a standard hotel stay.
