Located in the famous Kanan Devan Hills, on an estate spanning over 58,000 acres of lush plantations and thick forests, the seven original tea planters&rsquo bungalows offer an experience like no other.

Breathtaking landscapes, pristine lakes, unending expanses of tea plantations, and blankets of mist &ndash these are some of many reasons that make Munnar look like a picture-perfect postcard. From trout fishing on the estate, hot air balloon rides, rounds of golf, or a visit to the tea factories and the Tata Tea Museum, guests can immerse themselves in the local culture. The cuisine at the bungalows reflect Kerala, Tamil and British influences through traditional family recipes passed down generations.

A scenic drive from Kochi or a helicopter ride to the exclusive helipads located on the estate, the amã bungalows in Munnar are the ideal holiday destination for family, nature lovers and adventure seekers.

The brand currently has a portfolio of 44 bungalows and villas with 14 under development.
