Save to favouritesPrintMailThe DuneTucked down a track 15km north of Pondicherry, this unique eco-getaway is a fun, funky playground for adults and children alike. And, with over 700m of sea frontage, it makes an ideal beach break. Set up by an enterprising young French man with a passion for nature and ecology, its 46 [r:IS078:rooms] - all different - are built using reclaimed materials from heritage houses. From sleek, stylish villas to ‘nature-cooled’ thatched huts nearer the beach, there's something for every budget and taste. You're encouraged to explore the gardens and to move from room to restaurant to beach by bike. The food is famously fabulous - healthy fish and seafood, aromatic curries and organic vegetables from the garden. You can book a yoga session or an arts and crafts class, treat yourself to an Ayurvedic massage with the qualified doctor, or take a dip in the sleek pool. Rebuilt after the tsunami, which hit just as it was about to open, this place is a labour of love, and a vibrant reflection of the owners' passion and determination.
