Indian Getaways:The Dune Hotel

I'm in the mood for a vacation and I really want to soak up the sun. I yearn to be on the Coromandel coast of India and particularly in Puducherry, formerly known as Pondicherry aka the French Riviera of the East.  I visited Puducherry years ago to visit the Sri Aurobindo Ashram.   I want to  revisit this town.

And why? This is why.  You have to visit The Dune Hotel for a vacation you will remember for the rest of your life.

Beautiful designed aesthetic bungalows on a 35 acre land with a beach front. Great dining facilites and spas. Private gardens, swimming pools this is a place you want to put on your MUST VISIT list.
