The Wild Anakulam is a five-room nature resort in Anakulam, a forest-fringed village around 40 kilometres from Munnar. Managed by VOYE HOMES, it places guests near rivers, plantations and the area’s elephant-viewing riverside.
With a pool and restaurant, it suits families, couples, honeymooners and small groups. Full corporate and spa facilities are not advertised.
Location and First Impressions
The resort is near Anakulam Elephant View Point in Idukki district. Kerala Tourism describes the village as part of Mankulam Panchayat, surrounded by reserve forest and Periyar River tributaries. Mineral-rich water attracts wild elephants, but sightings depend on natural movement and are never guaranteed.
Munnar is about 39 to 40 kilometres away. The property lists Cochin International Airport at approximately 88 kilometres and Aluva Railway Station at 91 kilometres. It is about two kilometres from the main road, so pre-arranged transport is sensible, particularly after dark or during rain.
Accommodation at The Wild Anakulam
Premium Rooms
There are four air-conditioned Premium Rooms. The property lists towels, toiletries, Wi-Fi and power backup; some bookings may include a balcony. Confirm the exact bed, view and balcony allocation before paying.
Family Suite Room
The single Family Suite Room is the likely choice for families or groups. However, its full occupancy and bed configuration are not clearly published, so confirm adult and child limits plus extra-bed arrangements.
Individual rooms can be booked. Access to some areas may differ from a full-property booking.
Restaurants and Dining
The in-house restaurant serves Kerala vegetarian and non-vegetarian food, including fish and chicken. Mutton and custom dishes depend on availability. North Indian and Continental choices are also listed.
Breakfast is complimentary, while other meals may be chargeable and require pre-booking. Outside food and guest use of the kitchenette are not permitted. Barbecue setups and candlelight dinners are request-based, so confirm costs, timings and dietary needs early.

Activities and Experiences

At the elephant-viewing riverside, stay in approved areas and follow local guidance. Never approach, feed or disturb wildlife.
Ayurveda, Spa and Wellness
No Ayurveda centre, spa, yoga programme or gym is verified. The natural setting may still suit a restful break. Guests wanting treatments should ask whether a qualified external provider can be arranged and verify credentials and costs.
Who Should Stay Here?
The Wild Anakulam is best suited to:
- Families who want a pool, family accommodation and nature activities
- Couples and honeymooners seeking a quieter alternative to central Munnar
- Friends or small groups interested in jeep trips and outdoor experiences
- Wildlife enthusiasts who understand that sightings are unpredictable
- Slow travellers who value scenery more than quick access to town
It is less convenient for guests who want Munnar’s shops and cafés nearby. Business travellers should confirm connectivity and workspace needs. Guests with limited mobility should ask about stairs, paths and bathroom access.

Best Time to Visit
October to February generally brings cooler conditions, although holiday periods can be busy. March to May is warmer. The June-to-September monsoon brings greener scenery and stronger waterfalls, but rain, mist and slippery roads may disrupt plans.
Wildlife movement has no guaranteed calendar. Ask about recent conditions, but treat every sighting as uncertain.
Booking Tips
Before confirming a stay:
- Confirm the room category, occupancy, bed arrangement and rate inclusions.
- Pre-order meals and discuss dietary needs.
- Request current prices and schedules for activities and transfers.
- Read cancellation and payment rules carefully.
- Confirm check-in time directly because different sections of the official page currently show different times.
- Arrange a suitable vehicle and discuss monsoon road conditions.
- Ask about pool timings and child-safety rules.
Room rates, meal plans, activity schedules and facility availability may change without notice.
