Wolkenburg Resort and Spa

Wolkenburg Resort and Spa is a three star hotel on Eatty City Road at Anachal in Idukki district, 9 km from the centre of Munnar, with 4.6 out of 5 from 1464 reviews.

What the resort lists

Wolkenburg Resort and Spa is a three star property, and guests have scored it 4.6 out of 5 from 1464 reviews. The facilities list is long and leans towards a resort that expects you to spend the day on site. There is an outdoor pool, a fitness centre, a spa and massage, a bar, a cafe and a restaurant with special diet menus. A games room, karaoke and a badminton court cover the evenings.

For practical needs the list includes a 24 hour front desk and 24 hour security, express check in, a lift, luggage storage, laundry, room service, a business centre, car hire, currency exchange, free parking and valet parking. Rooms are air conditioned, have balconies, and non smoking and family rooms are available. Free WiFi and wheelchair access are listed, along with a garden and a banquet hall.

Where the resort sits

The address is Eatty City Road Anachal Devikolam Kerela 685565. The setting is outside Munnar, in the wider Idukki district, in South Kerala. The nearest town is Munnar, which is a town in Idukki district, a tourism hub. The hotel is 9 km from the centre of Munnar.

Munnar is the destination, a hill town 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 is inland, so plan for hills and tea country, not coastline.

Who it suits

The resort suits families and groups who want a full facility base outside town and do not mind a drive to reach Munnar's centre. It also suits anyone who values a spa, pool and games room on the premises. It does not suit travellers who want to be inside Munnar within easy reach of the town's own streets and sights, because the address is 9 km out. The 4.6 score from 1464 reviews suggests most guests are content with that trade.

Planning a stay

Aim for September to May. The heavy monsoon months bring closed-in cloud and landslip risk. January mornings frost here, ninety kilometres from a tropical lagoon. Eravikulam, the Nilgiri tahr park, is a short drive and closes for calving in February and March, so check dates if that park is the reason for the trip.
