The tale of Villa Retreat begins, and continues, with the idea of discovery and new experiences. The property dates back to 1845 – to the very establishment of Kodaikanal, when J.T Noyes built a few shacks at the cliffs of the hills. Past the lush greenery, sparkling lakes and seemingly endless waterfalls, lies Villa Retreat, the modern day evolution of Noyes’ shacks.
Conceived as an experiential hotel, Villa Retreat pays homage to the town, its people, culture and of course, its origin, by building experiences around the very idea of discovering a new Kodai, just as Noyes did all those years ago.
So, what does this all mean? Come, find out. We’re beyond excited to show you!
Welcome to Villa Retreat.
It’s as Kodai as can be.
The team at Villa Retreat brings together experienced, like-minded experts from different walks of life to build a warm, inviting and memorable atmosphere, where guests are treated to the real Kodaikanal.
As an experiential hotel, the culture of the property and the interaction our staff have with our guests is extremely important to us. In fact, it’s at the core of everything we do, and for us, that starts with our team.
