Welcome to Spice Village, set unobtrusively in the Periyar wilderness on the lofty Western Ghats. AFQW Village that exudes the spirit and ethos of this reservoir of nature. Here nature controls the temperature. Nature's songs will be the only piped music you hear. Nature will be the only television you watch. Nature's fragrance will be the only perfume you want to wear. Spice Village is a quiet extension of the rainforests, the rolling plantations and the orchards around, almost as though an integral part of nature's design. |
Modelled after the jungle dwellings of the local tribal inhabitants, all the cottages, are built with split bamboo and elephant grass. This raw presence of nature can be felt throughout our hotel - which, more than a statement of style, was a necessity, considering the fragile ecosystem around. This earthiness is something you'll find everywhere - why, most of the hosts you come across in our hotels will be natives - all refreshingly free from the trappings of packaged hospitality. A smile might be all that greets you - but you'll see that it comes straight from the heart.
