The Tamara Kodai—a blend of colonial heritage, serene surroundings, and timeless luxury perched atop Kodaikanal’s misty hills.

Heritage & Setting

• Built around one of the earliest structures in Kodaikanal—the Baynes Bungalow—which was later converted into La Providence, a priest’s rest house. It was renovated and reopened in 2018 as The Tamara Kodai, preserving its 19th-century charm within a luxury hospitality experience.

• Nestled more than 2,000 meters (6,500 ft) above sea level, the resort overlooks the lush Palani Hills, offering a refreshing and elevated retreat.

• Embracing the brand’s sustainable ethos, the resort’s design respects both the history of the architecture and its natural surroundings.
