ELIVAAS, backed by Peak XV Partners, Vertex Ventures, and 3one4 Capital, Wins ‘Brand of the Year 2026’ at MakeMyTrip Homestays Awards
New Delhi, March 23: ELIVAAS, a rapidly emerging name in India’s premium villa hospitality segment, has been recognised as the Brand of the Year 2026 at the MakeMyTrip Homestays Awards, marking a significant milestone in its growth journey within just its second financial year of inception.
The brand was nominated across multiple categories, including Traveller’s Choice – Brand, India’s Favourite Villa, India’s Favourite Farmhouse, and India’s Favourite Pet-Friendly homestays award. The team also extends its gratitude to MakeMyTrip for its continued partnership and support in building the homestays ecosystem.
“Being recognised as Brand of the Year is a strong validation of the trust our guests and home owners have placed in ELIVAAS in a relatively short period of time. Our focus has always been on delivering consistently high-quality, experience-led stays, and this recognition encourages us to further strengthen our presence across India while continuing to elevate the villa hospitality segment,” said Ritwik Khare, the Founder and CEO of ELIVAAS.
Backed by Peak XV Partners, Vertex Ventures, and 3one4 Capital, ELIVAAS has rapidly scaled its operations and strengthened its position in the premium villa category.
This recognition places ELIVAAS alongside some of the most established names in the hospitality sector, underlining its rapid rise as a category leader in the luxury villa space. Founded just three years ago, the brand has already hosted over 3 lakh guests across more than 40 cities, while maintaining a consistently high 95 percent 5-star review rating.
ELIVAAS has built its positioning around curated, experience-led stays that combine privacy, comfort, and personalised service. Its offerings extend beyond accommodation, with thoughtfully designed guest experiences such as private dining setups, wellness therapies, and bespoke celebrations, aimed at creating memorable stays.
The award also reflects the brand’s evolution from individual property excellence to a more holistic hospitality offering across markets. It builds on earlier recognitions, including category wins at previous editions of the MakeMyTrip Homestays Awards.
With this recognition, ELIVAAS aims to expand its footprint further while continuing to refine its offerings for the evolving preferences of premium travellers.
