Munnar

Windermere Estate, Munnar – A Secluded Plantation Sanctuary

Windermere Estate is a secluded hill-country retreat set within a working tea and cardamom plantation on the outskirts of Munnar.

Surrounded by forested slopes, spice gardens and mist-laced valleys, the estate offers a deeply immersive sense of place rooted in Kerala’s highland landscape. Designed for travellers who value privacy, nature and understated comfort, Windermere feels removed from commercial hill stations. It works particularly well as a restorative pause within a broader South India journey, where time slows and the rhythms of plantation life gently shape each day.

Why do we love Windermere Estate, Munnar ?

Windermere Estate appeals through its strong sense of seclusion and connection to nature. The property is deliberately low-key, allowing the surrounding forest, plantations and birdlife to take centre stage.

We appreciate its commitment to quiet hospitality, personal service and a pace that encourages walking, reflection and rest. Rather than polished luxury, Windermere offers depth and calm, making it ideal for travellers seeking a meaningful hill-country stay grounded in landscape, simplicity and authenticity.

What can I look forward to?

Expect a tranquil plantation stay with forest walks, misty mornings, attentive service and a deeply relaxed pace shaped by nature rather than schedules.

Experiences

Experiences at Windermere Estate are centred on immersion in the surrounding environment. Guided plantation and forest walks introduce native flora, spices and birdlife, while quiet trails encourage independent exploration. Short excursions reach viewpoints, waterfalls and lesser-visited corners of Munnar’s hills. Time at the estate itself is equally valued — reading, observing changing light across the valley or simply listening to the forest. The experience is intentionally unstructured, allowing nature, silence and personal rhythm to define each stay.

Gastronomy

Dining at Windermere Estate is refined, homely and closely connected to Kerala’s culinary traditions. Meals are prepared using fresh local produce, estate-grown ingredients and seasonal flavours, blending South Indian recipes with subtle continental influences. Served in an intimate dining space overlooking the valley, meals are unhurried and thoughtfully presented. The emphasis is on quality, balance and warmth rather than variety, making dining an integral part of the estate’s calm and restorative atmosphere.

Comfort

Accommodation at Windermere Estate is offered in garden and estate rooms designed to blend quietly into the landscape. Interiors are warm and understated, featuring natural materials, wooden floors and large windows opening to forest or plantation views. Comfort is delivered through space, quiet and thoughtful service rather than excess. Modern amenities are discreetly integrated, ensuring a restful stay that complements the estate’s serene, nature-focused setting.
