Aranyaka Resorts is a three star property on Attukad Waterfall Road in Pallivasal, Idukki district, 4.1 km from the centre of Munnar. It holds a 4.5 out of 5 guest score from 2203 reviews. The 320 acre tea estate setting in the high ranges is what decides whether it suits you: it rewards guests who want cool air and a quiet base, not those who need the town on the doorstep.
What the resort provides
Aranyaka Resorts lists a restaurant and a bar, a garden, a games room and a playground. The restaurant covers meals without a trip into Munnar, which matters when the evening mist settles in. The bar gives adults somewhere to sit after a day in the estates. A games room and playground serve children on wet afternoons.
All rooms are non smoking, and each has a balcony. Room service runs to the room, and the 24 hour front desk and 24 hour security mean late arrivals and early starts are handled. Free parking is available. The guest score of 4.5 out of 5 from 2203 reviews is high for a three star property.
Where the resort sits
The address is Attukad Waterfall Road Pallivasal Estate Post Pallivasal, in Idukki district, South Kerala. The property is 4.1 km from the centre of Munnar, a town in Idukki district and a tourism hub. That distance keeps the resort outside the busiest part of town while leaving the market and bus stand within a short drive.
Munnar is a hill destination in South Kerala, at 1,500 to 2,695 m. Tea from 1,500 metres up to the grassland, laid over hills the Scots planted in the 1880s. Anamudi, the highest point in India south of the Himalaya, sits on the eastern edge at 2,695 metres. The resort sits inland, away from the coast and the backwaters.
Who it suits
Aranyaka Resorts suits families and couples who want a cool, quiet base with meals and children's facilities on site, and who do not mind being 4.1 km from the centre of Munnar. It does not suit anyone who wants to step out of the gate into shops, restaurants and the town's evening activity, or who needs a full service luxury address. The high guest score suggests the formula works for most visitors.
When to plan a stay
The season runs from September to May. January mornings can frost, which is worth packing for. Eravikulam, the Nilgiri tahr park, is a short drive and closes for calving in February and March. The heavy monsoon months bring closed-in cloud and landslip risk.
