Start with a sunrise walk on Promenade Beach (15 min away). Back by 9 for filter coffee and standup. Order breakfast from our kitchen — idly, dosa, eggs.

💻

Workday

Laptop stand up, AC on, coffee within reach. Reliable Wi-Fi means video calls don't drop. Lunch from the kitchen — South Indian thali or biryani.

🌅

Evenings

Cycle to White Town for sundowner, French Quarter dinner, or just soak in the bathtub. Pondy is a 9-to-5 person's dream weekend extended into the week.
