You can dine by the pool in the evenings, enjoy the breath-taking views and soak in the cool evening breeze. Along with a private beach, this property boasts of two pools- one meandering its way through the property and the other an infinity pool.

 

  1. Taj fisherman’s cove, Off ECR, Chennai – This Taj property is a delight with an exceptional experience. They welcome you with garlands made of seashells and melodious music by a person playing guitar. The rooms are set up as individual villas. There are a variety of restaurants and cuisines to choose from. For kids, there is a pool and activity centre to keep them engaged. Adults can rejuvenate in their highly rated jiva spa.

  1. Green meadows, Palavakkam, Chennai – This budget-friendly resort is on the outskirts of the city providing rustic rooms in a heritage hotel. The restaurant serving Kerala food and pool is a big attraction without burning a hole in your pocket. Once inside you will not even realize you are still in the city. The Neelankari beach is very close for an evening stroll and a view of the sun going down the horizon.
