Against the stunning backdrop of the local landscape, each Ella Resort crafts its distinct microcosm, offering a range of unique experiences to provide guests with a truly fulfilling holiday. Outside of the resorts, carefully selected activities make full use of the unspoiled countryside and give a glimpse of the centuries-old traditions that have shaped the land and its locals.
In addition to exceptional locations and amenities, Ella Resorts has a philosophy of promoting meaningful engagement with the local culture and traditions. More than just a place to stay, Ella Resorts invites guests to immerse themselves in the distinctive attributes of each destination, forging a deep connection with the local people and their environment.

Furthermore, as a part of their commitment to sustainability, Ella Resorts actively collaborates with local growers and farmers, nearby vintners, artists and artisans, providing direct and tangible support to the surrounding communities. These close partnerships enable the resorts to contribute to the local economy and preserve cultural traditions. Additionally, each resort’s highly knowledgeable concierge department offers expert guidance, ensuring guests can access the best activities and attractions in the broader region.

The properties are thoughtfully designed with biophilic architecture, using local materials and construction practices that prioritize natural ventilation and energy-efficient cooling and heating systems. The resorts are committed to incorporating renewable energy sources and are dedicated to preserving the surrounding landscape and safeguarding the natural beauty of the locations.
In terms of day-to-day operations, Ella Resorts takes proactive measures to minimize its carbon footprint and encourages a plastic-free environment while promoting recycling practices. The resorts actively engage with the local community in each destination, forging meaningful partnerships with nearby farms and producers. These collaborations not only support the unique arts, culture, and traditions of the regions but also create employment opportunities for locals, fostering sustainable development and economic growth. By prioritising sustainability and actively engaging with local communities, Ella Resorts strives to make a positive impact on both the environment and the people it serves.
