Hotels and Resorts in Munnar

Best areas to stay in Munnar

The main sights (Eravikulam, Mattupetty Dam, Echo Point and Top Station) are north and east of town. Stay close to town for shorter drives, or further out for better views and more quiet.

Munnar town and Colony Road

The handiest base, with restaurants, the bus stand and short drives to the Tea Museum, Mattupetty and Eravikulam. Busier and noisier, with few rooms that have a real view.

• Best for: budget stays, short trips and travellers without a car
• Our picks: Mount Court, Landy Queen, Amber Dale

Pothamedu and Bison Valley Road (2 to 5 km)

Quiet tea and spice estates about 10 minutes from town, home to several of Munnar's highest-rated luxury stays.

• Best for: a first visit with views but without long drives
• Our picks: Windermere Estate, Le Montfort, Fragrant Nature, The Tall Trees

Anachal (about 10 km before town)

The resort strip on the road from Kochi, with valley-view resorts, pools and spas. Easy to reach on arrival, but town and Eravikulam are 30 to 40 minutes away in season.

• Best for: resort stays with a pool or spa
• Our picks: The Feel, Elephant Passage, Misty Dale, Zenha

Pallivasal and Attukad (6 to 9 km)

A green river valley near Attukad waterfalls, quieter than Anachal and a little closer to town.

• Best for: heritage and high-end stays in a quiet setting
• Our picks: Blanket Hotel & Spa, Parakkat, 1924 Clock House, The Valle

Chithirapuram (about 10 km south)

The widest choice, from tea-garden B&Bs to large 5-star resorts, about 25 to 30 minutes from town.

• Best for: value for money and families
• Our picks: The Panoramic Getaway, The Fog, Chandys Windy Woods, Gruenberg

Rajakkad, Kunchithanny and Top Station (20 to 35 km)

Remote hideaways with long drives to the main sights.

• Best for: honeymoons and guests who mainly want to stay at the resort
• Our picks: Viceroy, Ragamaya, Chandys Drizzle Drops
