ELIVAAS has forayed into South India with the launch of six luxury villas and resorts across Kerala, marking a major milestone in its mission to redefine immersive villa stays in India. With this expansion, the luxury travel brand not only strengthens its presence in the country’s hospitality landscape but also signals a strategic entry into one of India’s most sought-after experiential tourism markets.

The new Kerala portfolio features Palm Dale, Pamba Heritage, and Vembanad House in Alappuzha; Panchvadi in Thekkady; Still Waters in Varkala; and Paloma Backwater Resort. Each property has been designed to capture the essence of Kerala’s culture and natural landscapes, offering guests premium hospitality with complete privacy. From cozy four-bedroom villas perfect for family holidays to expansive retreats with over 30 rooms tailored for corporate getaways, ELIVAAS addresses the needs of a wide spectrum of travellers.

Guests can enjoy curated services such as private chefs, personalized concierge assistance, and bespoke luxury hospitality. Signature experiences such as houseboat cruises, shikara rides, kayaking adventures, cycling trails, and Ayurvedic wellness programs further enhance these offerings.

Speaking about the expansion, Ritwik Khare, Founder and CEO, ELIVAAS, said, “Our expansion into Kerala reflects not only the demand we see from travellers but also the immense potential of South India as a luxury and experiential travel hub. Having built a successful presence in different parts of India, Kerala is a natural next step for us – its backwaters, cultural richness, and strong tourism ecosystem make it an ideal market. With this expansion, ELIVAAS is positioning itself to cater to the growing demand for premium stays that serve families, corporates, and global travellers alike. We foresee South India becoming one of our strongest growth markets in the years to come.”

Staying true to its philosophy of “luxury with responsibility,” ELIVAAS has woven sustainability into every aspect of its Kerala properties. Each villa and resort showcases locally inspired architecture, adopts energy-efficient practices, and features eco-friendly amenities such as glass water bottles and jute slippers to reduce environmental impact. In addition, partnerships with local vendors, artisans, and craftsmen not only deliver authentic cultural experiences but also generate meaningful benefits for the surrounding community.

With Kerala now part of its expanding portfolio, ELIVAAS reinforces its mission to redefine luxury travel in India through culturally grounded, sustainable, and personalized villa stays. The brand is committed to offering exceptional guest experiences while also delivering best-in-class operational management to homeowners and asset partners. This approach strengthens ELIVAAS’s position as a trusted partner and propels the growth of India’s luxury villa ecosystem.
