8 best eco-friendly hotels in Munnar

Eco-friendly hotels in Munnar suit travellers who want responsible stays amid the tea-clad hills, misty viewpoints and biodiversity-rich valleys the region is known for. Around the town core and the surrounding high ranges, you’ll find nature-led experiences near Eravikulam National Park—home to the endangered Nilgiri tahr—and viewpoints that reward early starts and slow walks. Nearby sights like Mattupetty Dam also anchor day trips around the Mattupetty / Chinnakanal belt, which is popular for scenic lake hours and garden-country drives.

Look for genuinely eco-friendly hotels that prioritise lower-impact operations—energy-efficient design, waste reduction, responsible water use, and local sourcing—while keeping the stay comfortable in Munnar’s cooler climate. This style of hotel is especially well matched to couples, families and nature enthusiasts who plan to spend their days exploring the tea landscapes and want a property that feels aligned with the area rather than separate from it.

For where to stay, the safest bet is to base yourself in Central Munnar for easy access, or the Mattupetty/Chinnakanal side for a greener, quieter rhythm. Examples from our inventory include Vibe Munnar Resort and Spa, The Fog Munnar Resorts and Spa and Grand Plaza Munnar for full-service comfort, with Ambady Estate and Dream Coconut Villa Resort as more boutique-leaning options.
