Our beach bungalows are spaciously spread over 30 acres. They are uniquely designed and are known for their commitment to reduce the impact on the environment. They are partly using reclaimed building material from South Indian Colonial houses and Chettinad palaces. They are mostly equipped with Solar hot water system.Not all our accommodation have air conditioning for environmental reasons and we have most of the time a refreshing sea breeze.  Each thematic bungalow is of a different inspiration, furniture, size, facility and enjoys the privacy of its own garden.
