Green Magic Resort

Surrounded by miles of coffee, cardamom and pepper plantations, Green Magic Resort is a dream come true for kids at heart. Consider this your own private playground, with just two tree forts to choose from. Accessed by an indigenous cane lift that uses a unique water counterweight, one of the tree houses perches 90 feet above the forest floor, while a double-decker accommodation, reached by a hanging bridge, soars a bit higher at 100 feet. Each lodging was built by Paniya tribesmen using local materials and traditional techniques, and although they're simple (prepare yourself for cold showers), they're loaded with charm. Because these sometimes swaying houses aren't for everyone, the resort also has an eco-lodge for those who want to keep their feet planted firmly on the ground.
