Follow the path beneath towering areca nut and mango trees. Feel the air shift. Hear the jungle before you see it.

At the edge of the plantation, facing untouched green wilderness and just two minutes from the sea, our spacious multi-storey Plantation Cottages rise quietly from the earth.

Inside, light moves freely. A generous living space opens to a private deck overlooking the trees. A loft bed floats above. An open-to-sky shower lets you bathe beneath the morning sun or evening stars.

Built entirely from sustainable, natural materials, every detail is designed to blur the boundary between indoors and outdoors — so you can slow down, breathe deeply, and remember what it feels like to truly exhale.

This is island living, as it was meant to be.

Want to wake up where the fields breathe with you? 🌴🐘

Come walk the deck with us, to our Paddy View rooms. Sunlight, wood, and bamboo chatais blur the line between inside and out. Cosy beds cradle slow mornings and quiet nights.

The paddy views invite you to pause, listen, and feel. A room for those who come seeking nature, and leave feeling energised.

Breathe... Relax... Refresh...

BREATHE in the fresh sea air, let it invigorate and RELAX you. Take in the view of the green jungles and rice paddy fields from your private cottage. Revitalize yourself with simple and scrumptious island cuisine. REFRESH your mind, body and soul with meditation and contemplation.

Tucked away in the lush forests of Havelock Island, The Flying Elephant is situated in the small village of Kalapathar away from the hustle and bustle of the busy tourist area of the island.

We offer you a haven to restore your connection to nature. The azure sea is only a short stroll away and waits for you to plunge into its warm tropical waters. White sands extend as far as the eye can see. Walk for miles with only the hermit crabs and sea birds as your guides. The jungle anticipates your quiet footsteps. Explore on your own or with a guide. Meander between the village houses and paddy fields taking in a taste of local island life.

We invite you to experience a quieter world away from it all. Slow down, rejuvenate and recharge!!!
