ELIVAAS, a premium hospitality company offering thoughtfully managed holiday homes and villas, has strengthened its presence in Kerala with the addition of two new properties in Munnar — Jai Hill and Kavyath Valley under Alaya Stays by ELIVAAS. The expansion marks the company’s entry into Munnar and adds to its growing portfolio of professionally managed stays across India’s high-potential leisure destinations.
The addition of the two properties marks the beginning of ELIVAAS’ expansion in Munnar, with 5 more new properties coming soon under ELIVAAS Signature and Alaya Stays. This reflects the company’s plans to build a stronger presence in the destination and cater to the growing demand for private, spacious and experience-led stays.
Through Alaya Stays by ELIVAAS, the company offers thoughtfully managed accommodation designed for leisure travellers, families, groups and corporate guests. The portfolio brings together the privacy and space of holiday homes with professionally managed hospitality, providing travellers with comfortable stays across sought-after destinations.
The entry into Munnar is aligned with ELIVAAS’ strategy of expanding into destinations with strong leisure demand and bringing professionally managed accommodation options to travellers. With the addition of Jai Hill and Kavyath Valley, the company aims to offer families, groups and leisure travellers comfortable and private alternatives to conventional hotel stays, while enabling them to experience the destination at their own pace.
Munnar was selected as part of ELIVAAS’ destination expansion strategy, given its strong domestic and international traveller appeal and its position as a leading leisure destination in Kerala. According to Kerala Tourism’s 2025 tourism statistics, Munnar recorded 3,018,598 domestic tourist visits in 2025, the highest among destinations in the state. The destination also recorded 67,744 foreign tourist visits, highlighting its continued importance in Kerala’s tourism landscape.
The two new properties offer private and comfortable spaces suited to leisure getaways, family holidays and group travel. Their addition also provides ELIVAAS with a platform to further expand its presence in Munnar and develop a wider range of stay options as the company’s pipeline progresses.
Ritwik Khare, Founder & CEO, ELIVAAS, said: “Munnar has a strong and established traveller base, and our entry into the destination marks an important step in ELIVAAS’ regional expansion strategy. We see significant potential for professionally managed private stays in Munnar, particularly among families, groups and leisure travellers. The addition of our first two properties under Alaya Stays by ELIVAAS is an important first step in our Munnar journey, and with X more properties in the pipeline, we are looking to build a meaningful presence in the destination. Our focus is to offer travellers thoughtfully managed stays while creating value for property owners. As we continue to expand, we will remain focused on destinations where we see strong demand and long-term potential.”
The planned expansion in Munnar forms part of ELIVAAS’ broader strategy to build a geographically diverse portfolio of professionally managed villas and holiday homes across India. The company continues to focus on destinations that combine established tourism demand with opportunities for private, spacious and experience-led accommodation.
