eLtha, where nature
heals the mind

A boutique plantation retreat tucked in the mist-kissed hills on the edge of the Western Ghats

Welcome to eLtha

A quiet escape on the
edge of the rainforest

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.
