What the resort lists
The Leaf Munnar Resort is rated five star, with a guest score of 4.6 out of 5 from 4283 reviews. Nothing here is improvised.

The outdoor pool and pool bar set the tone, with a fitness centre, a games room, table tennis and a badminton court for active days. A restaurant, cafe and breakfast handle meals.

An inland base for Munnar
The Leaf Munnar Resort sits outside Munnar, in the wider Idukki district, in South Kerala. Munnar is a town in Idukki district, a tourism hub, and the property stands 8.9 km from the centre of Munnar. This is hill country, inland in every direction, with 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 of the destination at 2,695 metres, and the altitude band runs from 1,500 to 2,695 m. Eravikulam, the Nilgiri tahr park, is a short drive away and closes for calving in February and March.
Who the resort suits
The Leaf Munnar Resort suits families and groups who want the whole apparatus of a five star hill resort: pools, courts, a games room, a playground and a garden, with staff on the desk at all hours. It is a good fit if you accept that the town is a drive away and will use the shuttle or hire a car. It does not suit travellers who want to step out of the door into Munnar itself.
When to plan a stay
September to May is the window for this part of Kerala. January mornings frost, ninety kilometres from a tropical lagoon. The heavy monsoon months bring closed-in cloud and landslip risk, so they are best avoided. Eravikulam, the Nilgiri tahr park, closes for calving in February and March, which is worth knowing if the park is on your list.
