Taj Fisherman's Cove Resort & Spa

Located 38 kilometres (24 miles) south of Chennai on the way to the rock cut temples of Mahabalipuram, Taj Fisherman's Cove Resort & Spa is one of the most luxurious beach resorts in Tamil Nadu. Built around the ruins of a Dutch Fort, all 88 air-conditioned rooms and cottages are beautifully located within the tropical gardens or beside the Bay of Bengal. The spacious rustic cottages have an outdoor sitting area and open-air garden showers. Restaurants include one serving multi-cuisine and alfresco dining on fresh seafood from off the Coromandel coast on the beach itself.

After relaxing by the pool, you could try a range of treatments at the spa, turtle watching (seasonal), a catamaran ride, or beach volleyball. Guests can also try their hand at the traditional sea fishing methods practised by the local fishermen.
