ELE|NA Expands in India with New Wellness Sanctuary at Ananta Ajabgarh in Rajasthan

ELE|NA (Elements of Nature) is expanding its presence in India with the launch of ELE|NA Ayur at Ananta Spa & Resort, Ajabgarh, creating a destination wellness sanctuary in the Aravalli foothills. The partnership with Ananta Hotels & Resorts marks the Maldives-born luxury wellness brand’s first property with the group and establishes a new model combining nature-based experiences, holistic treatments and resort hospitality.

ELE|NA Brings a New Wellness Concept to Rajasthan

Announced in Jaipur on 21 September 2026, the partnership will see ELE|NA operate the wellness sanctuary at Ananta Ajabgarh under the ELE|NA Ayur identity. The initiative brings together ELE|NA’s spa management expertise and nature-led wellness philosophy with Ananta’s resort environment, creating a destination designed for guests seeking restorative experiences within driving distance of Delhi and Jaipur.

The collaboration covers the full wellness operation, including concept development, programming, treatment design, staff training, daily operations and guest experience. It also represents the beginning of a broader partnership, with additional ELE|NA and Ananta developments expected to follow.

What Will ELE|NA Ayur at Ajabgarh Offer?

The two-storey wellness destination will feature nine treatment rooms, a twinned hydrothermal circuit, Meditation Hall, movement pavilion and salon. The programme is structured around ELE|NA’s Pillars of Vitality, covering different dimensions of physical and mental wellbeing.

Offerings will include TouchFlow massage and bodywork, ReFine skin health treatments, BodyFit movement and breathwork, SoulVibe sound and water therapies, SleepSync sleep experiences and FoodDelight conscious nutrition.

This approach extends the concept beyond conventional spa treatments, positioning wellness as an integrated component of the resort stay.

How Will Ajabgarh Shape the Wellness Experience?

The natural landscape surrounding Ajabgarh is central to the sanctuary’s programming. ELE|NA has developed signature experiences inspired by the elements, including Inner Fire Awakening, Grounding Earth Ritual, Flowing Water Therapy and Sacred Wood Restoration.

The treatment menu will also incorporate regional influences and Jaipur traditions. Experiences include the Jaipur-Inspired Heart & Grounding Ritual, Desert Glow ubtan body polish and Camel Milk nourishing wrap.

Sound-based experiences will include Fort Echoes and Sound of the Hills, while couples can select private journeys such as Ever After and the three-hour Sacred Together experience.

Outdoor programming will include forest bathing, guided nature walks, stargazing, moon meditation, floating meditation and sound healing, bringing the Aravalli landscape directly into the wellness programme.

What Is the Elemental Vitality Calendar?

ELE|NA will introduce a four-week Elemental Vitality calendar built around Earth, Water, Fire and Air. The programme will address physical, mental, emotional, social, spiritual, environmental and creative aspects of wellbeing.

Activities are expected to include Aravalli nature walks, pottery, kintsugi, sound healing, stargazing and tree planting. The environmental programme will also contribute to Ananta’s stated annual target of planting 50,000 trees across its properties.

Which Wellness Facilities Will Be Available?

The sanctuary will feature several dedicated spaces designed around specific restoration and recovery experiences. These include a SleepSync™ Room for hammock sound baths, yoga nidra and guided rest, alongside a Contrast Therapy Suite equipped with ice baths and warm jacuzzis.

A dedicated sound-healing hall and HydroTherm dry-flotation massage facility will further expand the treatment offering. ELE|NA’s own product houses, ELE|NA Essentia and Philosophia Botanica, will also be incorporated into treatments and retail.

ELE|NA will manage the sanctuary from treatment development and employee training through to day-to-day activation.

What Does the Ananta-ELE|NA Partnership Mean for Indian Wellness Tourism?

The Ajabgarh opening represents the first property in a broader partnership between ELE|NA and Ananta Hotels & Resorts. The collaboration comes as wellness becomes increasingly integrated into the positioning of luxury resorts and destination hospitality.

Rather than treating the spa as a standalone resort facility, the Ajabgarh concept is designed around a wider guest journey incorporating treatments, movement, nutrition, sleep, nature and cultural experiences.

For ELE|NA, the partnership also provides a platform to expand its operating model across India’s luxury hospitality market, while Ananta gains a specialised wellness partner capable of managing the concept from development through daily operations.

As the first project under the partnership, ELE|NA Ayur at Ananta Ajabgarh establishes the framework for further properties and reinforces the growing intersection between luxury hospitality, destination wellness and nature-led travel in India.
