A boutique plantation retreat tucked in the mist-kissed hills on the edge of the Western Ghats
Nestled in Odappallam, just outside Sultan Bathery, eLtha Resort & Spa is a family-crafted retreat built for travellers who want to slow down. The resort opens directly onto the deep forests bordering Karnataka — mist rolls through the treetops at dawn, sunlight dapples paved pathways through the day, and by night the lanterns come on, and all you hear is the forest.
Our eleven cottages sit spaced apart for privacy, each opening out to a private sit-out with unhurried views of the greenery. A mosaic-tiled pool, a two-tier gazebo, a glass sky-bridge, an amphitheatre under the canopy, and fireside evenings with BBQ — designed so you can do everything, or nothing at all.
"Where nature heals the mind — a place to breathe deep, walk slow, and remember what quiet feels like."— eLtha Resort & Spa, Wayanad
Eleven thoughtfully designed cottages with private sit-outs and uninterrupted views of the rainforest. Choose between our Signature Premium or naturally cooled Classic cottages.
Wake up to mist over the treetops from your private sit-out. Our Premium Cottages feature polished wood paneling, glass-block accents, air-conditioning, and a mini-fridge — perfect for those who want modern comfort in a plantation setting.
Same warm hospitality and beautiful forest views in our naturally cooled cottages. Ideal for travellers who love the fresh mountain breeze of Wayanad at 900m elevation.
