Boutique hotels in Munnar

Munnar's hills are covered in an ocean of tea, and its best stays are small estates and bungalows among the plantations. Mornings are misty, evenings cool, and the views across the Western Ghats are hard to beat.

Where to stay

Stay on a tea or cardamom estate for quiet and walks among the plants. The town is busy, so places a few miles out give a better sense of the hills.

Good to know

The cool, dry months from September to March are the best. The neelakurinji, which flowers once every twelve years, makes the hills turn blue in a spectacular bloom.
