Our Story – A Sanctuary Crafted by Nature's Finest
n 1980, I bought this heavenly piece of land in Bodimettu, nestled near my plantation, envisioning a peaceful retreat for my retirement. As an advocate, then a judge by profession, and a planter by passion, my life was filled with intense responsibilities. Yet, every time I stepped onto this land, I felt an unexplainable calm, a healing power that rejuvenated my spirit. It was as if nature itself was whispering to me, restoring my strength to face life’s battles.
Upon retirement, I planned to build a home here. But one day, standing on this land with my architect, an inner voice stopped me—a voice I believe was nature or the Almighty speaking. It said, “This place is not just for you; it must be shared with others who seek peace, who long for nature’s embrace, who need to heal.” That moment changed everything.
In 2011, the journey of Shola Crown began. With no prior experience in hospitality, I faced countless challenges, doubts from loved ones, and the reality of building a resort in one of Kerala’s most remote villages. Many warned me, “No one knows Bodimettu. This is a risk.” But I never doubted. I believed that if this place could heal me, it could heal others too. And so, with sheer determination and God’s grace, Shola Crown became a reality in 2017.
I look forward to welcoming you to experience the magic of Shola Crown. 🌿✨

Today, Shola Crown is not just a luxury resort; it is a sanctuary for those who seek to reconnect with nature and themselves. Over the years, guests from all over the world have echoed what I always felt—this land has a mystic energy, a rare sense of serenity and positivity. What was once an unknown village is now a place that supports local families and creates opportunities, bringing life to Bodimettu.
I invite those who cherish nature, who seek to slow down, breathe fresh air, and let nature work its magic. If you long for a transformative experience, Shola Crown welcomes you. But if your heart belongs to the city and modern distractions, this may not be the place for you—and that’s okay.
Here, we offer luxury in its purest form—nature, tranquility, and simplicity. Our infinity pool, spacious rooms, and fresh, wholesome food are designed for those who value authentic experiences over extravagance. Shola Crown is not just a resort; it is a journey back to your roots, to the embrace of Mother Nature.
While staying here, you can explore not just Munnar town, but also its hidden, picturesque spots that few have seen. We can also take you beyond—to the untouched beauty of Meghamalai, the cultural richness of Madurai, or the charm of Kurangani Village. These places, like Shola Crown, offer something beyond just sightseeing—they offer an experience, a connection.
Finally, you’ll often find me or one of my family members at Shola Crown. We cherish meeting our guests, listening to their stories, and sharing ours. So, don’t hesitate to say hello—we would love to welcome you personally.
