Mango Hill by Poppys

Mango Hill, a gracious Indian hotel with an unmistakable French touch, located on a hill planted with mango and cashew trees between Pondicherry and Auroville, on the Bay of Bengal. An "eco-friendly" haven of serenity just outside the city, where Parisian savoir-faire meets the charm of the Indian countryside.

Surrounded by lush greenery and tropical flowers, the elegant perimeter overflow pool has a shaded child basin, perfect for a refreshing dip at any time of the day, year-round. Beside the pool is an Ayurvedic spa, to restore harmony and balance to mind and body. Discover Mango Hill where, from the first rays of sun to the last sparkle in the starry Indian sky, you luxuriate in an atmosphere of total relaxation, caressed by a gentle sea breeze.

The spacious main house has 14 elegant rooms with private terraces. Room types include

Thai Cottage rooms - Sea view resort hotel with luxury "Thai" cottage rooms are equipped with Natural air-cooling, 1 double bed, full bathroom with shower, small sea-view terrace overlooking the pool.

Classic room / Suite - These rooms are Air conditioned with 1 double and 1 single bed, full bathroom with shower, private terrace with a view of the Bay of Bengal or the Auroville countryside.

Dining
The menu of French and Indian specialties is built around the freshest natural ingredients: organic vegetables from the hotel's own garden; freshly caught fish; cured ham, pate and cheeses we produce ourselves (they have a dairy room, cold rooms and a large cellar in the hotel).

The kitchen opens on to the dining room, so guests can watch as fish and meat are grilled to order over a wood fire. The chef designs the day's menu according to his inspiration or plans it around today's best finds from the market

Swimming pool
Mango Hill's pool is by far the most beautiful in the region: rimless water surrounded by a spacious teak deck, a flowering cashew tree on a little island in the middle, jet massage nozzles, a shaded basin where children can play in total safety, and inviting lounge chairs straight from the decks of the legendary cruise ship "Le France"... an idyllic setting for savoring the balmy climate of the Coromandel coast.
