Among Mahabalipuram beach resorts, few transcend mere hospitality to become lasting memories—and Grande Bay Resort & Spa is one of those rare places. Born from a quiet dream to create a retreat that feels personal, soulful, and deeply connected to the sea, it sits along the windswept shores of the Bay of Bengal. Artist Rajeevan Nambiar, the award-winning production designer and art director, crafted every corner with comfort and character in mind, making it one of the best beachfront resorts in Mamallapuram. With just 44 rooms—each touched by the ocean breeze or garden calm—the experience is intentionally intimate, placing it among the finest resorts in Mahabalipuram. It’s the kind of place where mornings stretch gently, and evenings arrive with the hush of waves. Run by the Mamalla Group of Hotels, whose hospitality story began in 1959, the resort carries a legacy of warmth and thoughtful care. We are dedicated to crafting an experience so memorable that you’ll want to return every time you visit this coastal city.
