Wonderful Wellness Retreat!
We stayed at Kaivalyam for 3-nights and it was a wonderful experience. # While the property is a little old, it has been very well maintained and kept spotlessly clean. The rooms are spacious and provide a wonderful view. # The owner and support staff are very courteous and super helpful. # The food was excellent - the quality was great and the quantity (for a la carte dishes) was large enough for a family of 3. # Complimentory activities are well planned and interesting. # While overall location (Pullivasal) is a great location, the list-mile approach road to the property does need pro-driving skills. In case you are not an experienced driver esp. in hilly areas then strongly recommend taking help from the Kaivalyam Retreat for the last mile road. They do provide all the help so going down and coming up is not a big issue as such! Overall great time spent at Kaivalyam.

The stay was very good, location and rooms are very nice. The only issue is the road from main road to the Hotel is very poor and need some improvement.

We were so happy we picked Kaivalayam retreat for our a Munnar trip. Staff is very warm and courteous. They have several in house activities at no additional cost, they serve only vegetarian food which was excellent. Aashish one of the helpers and our guide was very sweet and happy chap. 5 start stay, we stayed at one of their treehouses.

Splendid facility and surroundings
Kaivalayam is a fantastic resort on a mountainside of tea plantations and spices. We were delighted with the reception, our room, the surroundings, the yoga sessions and the meals. Our only complaint was no hot water for showering.

We stayed 2 nights at the beautiful tree house complex with a tree growing inside the room. We signed up for yoga in both mornings, as well as the tea tasting class. Harish was a great teacher and the sessions were informative and fun! The walk in the tea garden was amazing, too bad we didn't get the chance to stroll around the spice garden. Overall we had an amazing stay at Kaivalayam Retreat, Harish and his wonderful staff really went out of their way to make us feel welcome, would love to come back. Thank you so much!

Amazing property in God's own country
This place offers the most exocitic experience of living inside jungle with great amenities. It's not like a regular hotel or resort it's and experience. You can hear the birds chirping the sound of river from your rooms balcony. The food is amazing too, they encourage vegetarian food and promotes yoga and meditation, infact there are free yoga and meditation session and few more activities too. The hosts are amazing and work hard to make your stay special. Thanks

Beautiful rooms and grounds with free activities
The hotel and surrounding tea plantations are so peaceful and beautiful. The hotel staff were so helpful and welcoming and arrange a schedule of free activities such as yoga, bird watching and cooking classes free of charge as well as help with organising other things to do. Our room was very nice with a separate seating area and lovely view but I would like to come back and stay in one of the tree houses they look amazing but were fully booked. They serve vegetarian food which was nice but a little bland, not quite as tasty as some of the meals we had elsewhere. Indian breakfast was good though and changed every day. Definitely recommended.

Best way to enjoy Munnar
I chose this hotel because it was within our budget and had great reviews. But I was a bit skeptical since it was called a yoga retreat, which meant to me too many activities I wouldn’t be interested in and forced community building. However my experience was far from it. Location – The resort is located around 5 kms from Munnar bus stand and very close to the Pallivasal Tea Estate. A narrow lane goes downward from the main road and leads to the hotel. This road is quite steep at places and wide enough for only one vehicle. And the hotel staff suggest you to call for their jeep to take you down this distance. Ambience – The rooms are located in two floors of two buildings placed side by side on the hill. There are also some tree houses further down. The place is completely surrounded with tall trees giving it a forest feel. Rooms – We stayed in Luxury room which was in one of the main building. Tree houses were priced higher, so we went with this. The room was equipped with all amenities and decorated tastefully. The view from the window was absolutely beautiful, which could be enjoyed from seating area inside or outside balcony. Food – They have a different menu every day with a few choice for starter, main course, desert etc. As a yoga retreat they don’t allow non-veg and alcohol. So all items were vegetarian. But the food was quite tasty. Staffs & Activities – Activities were great and staffs were extremely amicable. Their simplicity made us feel very comfortable.

Amazing place to relax and rejuvenate!
This is an excellent location to stay to enjoy the peace and beauty of the mountains of Kerela! The location is one of a kind with yoga, meditation, bird watching, hiking, among many other activities. The food is very delicious, healthy, and made to your order. I highly recommend this location for those looking to relax and be in nature. Would love to return one day!

A little gem in Munnar
It was not a very nice beginning. The road leading to hotel looked steep and dangerous, the TV in the room small and we had to take our shoes off to enter the reception area....... However, as we woke up the next morning, the beauty of the place dawned on us. Everything about this resort was done tastefully. Lush greenery all around and simple yet delicious breakfast started to change our opinion about this wonderful little place. The rooms are spacious, well-lit and well-ventilated. The highlight of the place is the cardamom plantation within the resort where they show you around. Mr. Joy, the manager, is an avid bird watcher and takes you out on bird watching trips early morning and explains about the local flora and fauna. This review will not be complete without a word of appreciation about the food they serve. Pure, clean, delicious, home-like vegetarian food. You cannot get such tasty food anywhere else in Munnar. If you want a luxury 5-star hotel, Kaivalyam is probably not your idea of a standard 5-star hotel. However, what it offers is pure pristine nature in a tastefully built little resort which fits perfectly a wond

Better than suggested by the reviews!
The reviews understate the excellence of this "hotel". It was more an experience than a hotel. It was the highlight of our trip to Kerala. They provided an itinirary for the duration of our stay, the luxury treehouse is brilliant. The only noise is that of the jungle. The food is first class, healthy and made with fresh home grown ingredients.
