Kaivalyam retreat is the ideal place to stay in Munnar if you are travelling with kids. Their food is always fresh and there was a wide variety available and we had no worries in letting our kids eat whatever they wanted while we were there. The resort itself is beautiful with over 11 acres of cardamom plantation and with a... More

We visited Kaivalyam retreat with the idea of relaxation. This is precisely what we got there. The retreat is in the middle of a plantation and the hosts Harish and his wife are absolutely amazing in their hospitality. We took long walks, got wet in the rain and had loads of fun. Thanks a ton to Mr. Harish.

Kaivalyam Retreat is located a few km away from Munnar and about half a km off the main street. But, don't let the location worry you. The view of their private spice plantation, a very well maintained at that, from the room is simply stunning. When you visit the relatively noisy Munnar town, the contrast couldn't be any starker.

We stayed at Kaivalyam last week for 4N/5D. Everything was perfect. The hosts were gracious, staff extremely courteous, rooms were neat, views were fantastic and food was very good. The ride to the place itself is a little adventurous (and good fun too) especially if you drive it yourself and not use the services of their drivers. Other than this... More

The stay at Kaivalyam Retreat was memorable. The resort was so clean with excellent house keeping. The ambience was awesome in the midst of trees and hills. The food was so tasty with a homely touch. The environment was so peaceful with only sound of birds chirping. We could feel the clouds next to the window; an environment of serenity.... More

I really loved staying in this beautiful and well-run retreat. The location, high up in hills near Munnar, is stunning, and it was lovely to be able to explore the surroundings in guided walks through the spice plantation. I also enjoyed the tranquil morning Yoga classes as the sun was rising - a truly memorable experience. The home cooked food... More
