Kofiland Resort is a four star property at Spring Valley outside Kattappana in Idukki district, 16.6 km from the centre of Kattappana and 5 km from Thekkady. It carries a 4.3 out of 5 guest score from 424 reviews. Two pools, a spa, a fitness centre, a restaurant and a shuttle service make it a resort you could stay inside for days; the deciding question is whether you want to be that self contained or out among the spice smallholdings.
What the resort offers
Kofiland Resort is a four star property with a 4.3 out of 5 guest score from 424 reviews, earned across 424 stays rather than a single good season. There are two pools, an outdoor pool and a children's pool, with a pool bar alongside. The spa and fitness centre cover the adult hours; the playground and picnic area cover the children's.
A restaurant serves breakfast, and the 24 hour front desk, concierge, laundry, luggage storage and business centre handle the logistics. Free WiFi and free parking remove two common charges, and a shuttle service runs from the property. Wheelchair accessible, with a garden and a library for the quiet hours.
Where the resort sits
The address is Spring Valley, outside Kattappana, in the wider Idukki district of South Kerala. Kattappana is a town in Idukki district, and the resort stands 16.6 km from the centre of Kattappana. The property is 5 km from Thekkady, the wildlife destination at the gate of Periyar, a reserve built around a lake made by a dam in 1895, where the drowned forest still stands in the water. The destination sits at 900 to 1,200 m.
Cardamom country begins at the edge of the plantation belt behind the reserve, and the spice smallholdings on the road up are working farms, not demonstration gardens. The Tamil Nadu border is minutes away, so the food changes within a few kilometres.
Who it suits
Kofiland Resort suits families and couples who want a full resort and will use the pools, the spa, the restaurant and the shuttle rather than treating the room as a base. It does not suit anyone who wants to step out of the gate into Kattappana or Thekkady life, because the property sits outside the town on its own grounds with the resort doing the work. If you would rather spend the day on working spice farms than by a pool, the position is wrong for you.
When to come
The best window is October to March for wildlife around the lake, when the reserve is at its most rewarding. The reserve stays open through the monsoon, so a visit between June and September is possible, but expect rain to shape the days. Book with the season you want in mind; the 16.6 km run to Kattappana and the 5 km to Thekkady keep you on the right side of the district.
