Ideal Beach is a peaceful seaside resort, set amongst tropical gardens and facing directly out onto the sands of Mahabalipuram beach. The resort is made up of a series of low-lying buildings which feature a classic, coastal design. All rooms have private balconies and many come with direct sea views. Facilities include a swimming pool, gift shop, and massage service, as well as full programme of local activities and excursions. There is a restaurant onsite which serves a variety of cuisines throughout the day, but you are also well situated for exploring the simple cafes and restaurants around this coastal town.
