Stayed in the Bangle House for 4 nights and extended it by one more night and in total 5 Nights. Stay started with a soothing welcome drink. We ordered this almost daily during lunch/dinner. Nice property with different types of rooms to suit your requirements, Eco Friendly, Natural Light, traditional architecture and sustainability at its core. Umapathy the manager was very friendly and always reminded and helped as the fourth member as part of the family. Kalidas the Chef went out of the way and cooked us some customised delicious dishes both western and Indian which was out of the world. Every person we interacted in the resort tried to make our stay comfortable and greeted us with grace. The stay was very private given the off season and we got a lot of personal attention. Overall very comfortable stay and looking forward to coming back.

Awesome!! It was a pleasant surprise we got rooms, in spite of last minute travel plans. Mr Umapathy is an excellent host and Nava did a fabulous job with soft tissue therapy. Their private beach setup is perfect for a family setup. Highly recommend this place for family and friends.

Very nice place enjoyed the stay in entirety. The staff here are extremely friendly and warm. Me Umapathy the manager goes out of his way to ensure the guests are comfortable and is always ready to help. The place is very neat. The food is decent. There are many peacocks around the property and is a joy to watch them. The private beach is at a walkable distance and easily accessible

Beautiful eco stay with a private access to pristine beach in Pondicherry. Loved the asthetics and natural set up. I loved the carefully curated designs of their each villas. Food and hospitality was great. Umapathy is a pure joy and so prompt and committed to his work.

Our stay at Dune Eco Village was truly an unforgettable experience! We spent two days in a beautiful 3-bedroom traditional home with direct beach access. The serene environment, surrounded by nature and the sight of peacocks roaming freely, made it a perfect getaway from city life. A special mention to Umapathy Ji, the manager of the property—his warm hospitality, guidance, and multi-talented personality made our stay even more special. From welcoming us with great enthusiasm to giving us a heartfelt sendoff, his dedication to guest experience is remarkable. His knowledge about Pondicherry is incredible, and his recommendations helped us explore the best of the town. We also had an amazing spa experience, thanks to Mr. Prashanth, who gave a fantastic foot massage. The property offers unique experiences like pottery, which our kid thoroughly enjoyed, and organic farming, which was truly inspiring. Though we missed the milking experience, everything else made up for it. Dune Eco Village is the perfect place for those looking to reconnect with nature, enjoy great hospitality, and relax in a peaceful environment. Highly recommended, and we would love to visit again!

I would like to add my genuine review. Initailly i was sceptical abt this resort bec their photos was not so 'fancy' and 'clear' in their pages. Butttt This turned out to be a perfect staycation for us and will be for ppl seeking calm and a relaxed environment. Quite an old property but rooms are really maintained well. Spa, yoga, pottery, farm was excellent. Having said this they can definitely improve on the food taste, landscapes, pool levels, in-house bicycles. Mr Umapathy made us feel home and Mr Ajay, Mr Christo, Ms Meera, Yoga master, Mr Murali added excellence with their service. This is not a so glamorous resort but a real retreat for sure.

This was my second visit to Dune, and as always, the stay was truly enjoyable. I stayed with my family and we especially loved the beach café—plus the food at the restaurant was fantastic. The staff were extremely responsive, and on the recommendation of the relationship manager, Umapathy, we chose the Karaikudi Suite. The suite’s frontage, the furniture, and the bathtub inside the room beautifully evoked the charm of a traditional Karaikudi home. Thank you to the entire Dune team—keep up the great work!
