We were here for my wife's birthday and stayed for 2 nights. The property is outstanding and hasa good theme. They are on the beach and so it is very nice for a morning walk, etc. Everyone is out there to please you. The food that they serve is pretty healthy and the spa is also good. Definitely recommended

This resort 14 Km far from Pondicherry deserves a visit, especially if you are visiting South India during summer and you need some rest from the heat. The village/resort is very well designed to make you feel 100% surrounded by nature at every time. It is not a super-luxury resort or spa, but still the standard is very high. Our... More

We visited The Dune Eco Beach resort and Spa last weekend and were astonished by looking the area they got and the way they have utilized it! it's amazing to see that each house is carefully designed keeping nature in mind.

We stayed at the Dune for just one night and it was a great experience. We stayed at the Artist Studio which had a private pool. The room and the pool was clean. I am amazed at the amount of thought that they have put into each suite. It is a great experience sitting in a private pool on a... More
