Heading to Pondicherry? Stay at Le Pondy for a laid-back, relaxing holiday that you deserve. Luxurious, beautiful and with rooms that either overlook the sea, lake or have private pools, starting at INR 17,000. Check into Le Pondy and divert from the usual backpacking experience that Pondicherry offers. The resort is 307 kilometres away from Bangalore and a good 40 minutes from the main town of Pondicherry. It has a private beach, villas with amazing views, and a gorgeous swimming pool. Reach Pondicherry via road (bus or car) or take a flight to Chennai and drive down to the resort.
The main area features French-style architecture with thatched roofs to keep temperatures down and arches along the sides for added charm. From lake-facing rooms to sea-facing rooms, you will be spoilt for choice here. They also have luxury pool villas and presidential pool villas if you are willing to spend a bit more (starting at INR 25,000) and enjoy a luxurious romantic holiday. A four-poster bed, a futon at the foot of it, and a balcony with deck chairs are just what one needs to zone out and focus on the roar of the sea. If you’re a water baby, the swimming pool will quickly become your favourite part of the resort. There are two sunken bars near the pool, so when you’re done wallowing, you can still keep cool in the water while stylishly sipping on a cocktail the barman mixes.
Looking to relax and rejuvenate? Head to their Ayurveda centre and get yourself a much-needed spa session. There’s also a beauty parlour if you need that extra bit of self-pampering. Spend some time in the library and activity centre for a complete holiday experience. While you are there, surprise your special one with a private dining experience in a gazebo.
