Our story

Asanctuaryofquietluxuryandnaturalbeauty.

We created Periyar Hills as a place to breathe, restore, and belong. Surrounded by the spice hills of Thekkady, it is a retreat where nature sets the pace, wellbeing comes naturally, and every stay feels deeply personal.

The beginning

Inspired by the hills. Created for connection.

Periyar Hills began with a simple vision: to create a place where travellers could slow down and experience the natural beauty of Thekkady beyond the ordinary. Surrounded by forests, spice plantations, and the rhythms of local life, the villa was designed to offer comfort without losing connection to its surroundings.

Today, Periyar Hills welcomes guests seeking meaningful travel experiences, from wellness and nature immersion to cultural discovery and quiet reflection. Every stay is an invitation to breathe deeply, restore naturally, and feel at home in one of Kerala's most remarkable landscapes.

Our Philosophy
Rooted in nature and refined in every detail, Periyar Hills is a place to breathe deeply, restore naturally and feel a genuine sense of belonging among the hills, forests and spice plantations of Thekkady.
