Discover what makes this destination truly special

The Mountain Courtyard is a luxury resort situated on a terraced slope in Thekkady, providing expansive views of the surrounding valleys and spice-covered hills. The property is designed with a mix of modern architecture and traditional Keralan touches, featuring individual cottages spread across the landscape to ensure privacy. Visitors stay in well-appointed rooms or cottages, many of which come with private balconies perfect for watching the morning mist clear over the hills. The atmosphere is quiet and centered around nature, with landscaped gardens and walkways winding through the property. The central point of the resort is its infinity swimming pool, which appears to merge with the distant mountains. Guests can also use the in-house Ayurvedic spa for wellness treatments or dine at the restaurant that serves a variety of Indian and international dishes, with a focus on local ingredients.
