Aveda Mountains And Mist

Aveda, the name rooted in Ayurveda is connected to Kerala where Ayurveda is embedded in its soul as a way of life and healthy living. Aveda Resorts and Spa in India were dreamt up as a boutique chain of resorts for the fast emerging new, young India of the 21st century travellers in the pristine, natural, locations of India. The resorts were all envisioned to be greenfield and built in unique settings with features that reflected the specific topography and culture of the place which we wanted our guests to experience and have them carry the fondest memories of the destination they visited. The idea was to give our guests memorable service, excellent food and a very cozy and comfortable setting to unwind, relax and rejuvenate in a uniquely special place which made them a unique destination.

Our newest venture in 2023, is Aveda Mountains and Mist, Munnar, a new boutique resort comprising of cottages and villas set in the undulating mountainous terrain of Anachal, Munnar. The exquisite views of mountains to the horizon on the East, North and South vistas are truly magical and unparalleled. In the cooler evenings the mist rolls in from the Southern mountains and engulfs the whole resort valley and the western forest and makes the place mystical. The cool crisp weather, fresh and pure air, and spacious cottages and villas make it truly a comfortable and genuine hill station Munnar experience.

Our first venture was in the backwaters of Kerala – Aveda Kumarakom which was launched in 2014 as a boutique resort on the mighty Vembanad Lake in the backwaters of Kumarakom, Kerala. The resort has classic Kerala style spacious pool facing and lake facing cottages and villas. The cottages and villas embody the classical Kerala architecture prevailing in this Kuttanad part of Kerala with terracotta tiled roofs, private yet open to sky showers and verandah on the pool front. The resort features the longest swimming pool in South India (possible in India) extending 150 metres all the way to the lake front. The layout facilitates a gentle breeze originating from the lake that flows over the swimming pool and through the restaurant which makes it a unique place to enjoy a meal any time of the day. A small army of chefs prepare some authentic Kerala and North Indian meals to make the experience truly Indian, surrounded by ever smiling faces of service staff. The resort won several global awards from various traveler communities such as Tripadvisor as one of the “Best” Boutique Resorts in India and ranked in the top 25 resorts in India.
