The arrival pavilionArrive at dusk — the pavilion lit, the tea estate already going quiet around you.
Welcome to Veyl Munnar
A 1920s planter’s bungalow, a working tea estate, and the view that made them both.
Veyl Munnar stands on the shoulder of the Mistline tea estate, 1,680 metres up in the Western Ghats. Sixty-four rooms, suites and pool villas; an infinity pool that faces the Anamudi range; a spa, three restaurants, and a hall for the celebrations that bring families up the hill.

Signature experiences
Days worth getting up for.
A few things we do especially well. Everything else is on the experiences page.
A note on pace
Our philosophy
At altitude, everything slows —the air, the water, the light,and eventually, you.
There are no schedules here unless you want them. Mornings begin when the mist decides. Evenings end by the fire.
What happens in between is up to you — a walk through the tea, an afternoon at the spa, or nothing at all on the verandah.
