Where it sits
The address is Sengulam Anachal, outside Munnar, in the wider Idukki district. Munnar is a town in Idukki district, a tourism hub, and the resort lies 9.3 km from the centre of Munnar. That distance puts you in the hills but not in the middle of town, so a vehicle matters for getting to restaurants, shops and viewpoints.
This is South Kerala, at altitude: 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. Mornings here can frost in January, ninety kilometres from a tropical lagoon.
Who it suits
The Arbour Resort Munnar suits families and couples who want a full set of resort facilities and do not mind being 9.3 km from the centre of Munnar. It also suits anyone planning to spend time on site, using the pools, garden and terrace. It does not suit travellers who want to step out of the door into the town, or those relying on getting around without arranging car hire or the shuttle.
When to plan a stay
The season runs September to May. The heavy monsoon months bring closed-in cloud and landslip risk, so those weeks are best avoided. Eravikulam, the Nilgiri tahr park, is a short drive and closes for calving in February and March, so plan around that if the park is on your list. January mornings can frost.
