About this property

CardMem Jungle Hideout - Private Pool Villa Resort, Thekkady

Card❤️Mem Estate Thekkady is a newly built premium nature retreat set within an exclusive 8.5-acre private cardamom plantation, located in the serene high ranges of Chellarkovil, near Thekkady, overlooking the breathtaking plains of Tamil Nadu. Surrounded by lush greenery, pure mountain air, and complete tranquillity, the estate offers guests the rare luxury of space, silence, and nature in its most authentic form.

Intentionally located in a peaceful rural setting—two access routes—an approximately 1.5 km of off-road with stunning hill views and a smooth, scenic road surrounded by cardamom plantations.—the property is surrounded by cardamom plantations, hills, forests, and farmland. This makes it ideal for guests seeking a genuine nature-based experience.
Please note that Card❤️Mem Estate Thekkady is a private guest house, not a commercial resort, created to share the beauty of plantation life rather than operate as a profit-driven property.

The estate features 4 spacious bedrooms, each with a private balcony overlooking cardamom plantations and furnished with queen-size beds.

- 2 guests per room
- Up to 2 extra beds per room are available at an additional cost. The property can accommodate up to 16 guests comfortably
