Smoking friendly holiday rentals in Auroville Beach

I had travelled with my family including an infant. This place just felt like home away from home. Nicely maintained & a responsive host. This would definitely be my first option for my next Pondy staycation!!

Nice place to stay, located nearby to French town and Pondy Beach .

It was a great stay, the house is very well maintained.

beautiful place to stay. very spacious place and couple friendly. Premises can accommodate 5 - 6 cars. Since the stay is inside the auroville, it will be always fun and pleasant to commute.

Had a great time. Nilesh was very warm and always available always ! Will definitely come again !!

Our stay at The Coast - Ocean was wonderful. The rooms are spacious and designed for comfort. All the rooms, including the living room are on the top floor, so yes it did get hot but that wasn't a problem because the ACs were fantastically fast-cooling. The bathrooms are spacious and brightly lit. In fact, the entire property is devoid of any dingy corner. Checking in was smooth, thanks to Sushma, who was prompt, efficient, and accessible while respecting our privacy. While the comfort of the rooms may discourage you to step out, step out you must, because the beach, the iconic cafes and the restaurants are all so close! I'd definitely recommend this for a group of 4 to 6.

“Our stay at this beautiful homestay in the heart of the city was truly a wonderful experience. The location is perfect—right in the city center, making it easy to explore nearby attractions, restaurants, and shops. The home itself was clean, cozy, and well-maintained, providing a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. Shubam was an exceptional host—always responsive, courteous, and ready to help with anything we needed. His warm hospitality made us feel right at home and added a personal touch to our stay. We truly appreciated his support throughout our visit. We highly recommend this homestay to anyone looking for a convenient and welcoming place to stay in the city!”

This place is located at the heart of French town with all the beautiful cafés including coromandel located nearby. The property is as per the description with all the modern amenities. If you come to Pondicherry and want to stay in French town, this is the place where you should stay. It’s located a minute away from the rock beach which is a cherry on the top of the cake

This place was everything the description said, the host, Preeti was so responsive and kind, loved everything. Absolutely clean and beautiful villa, everything was perfect. Highly recommend for your stay in Pondicherry.

We had a wonderful stay at Maison Nataraja! The home was clean, comfortable, and perfectly suited for our family. Venkatraman was incredibly helpful and responsive throughout our visit, ensuring we had everything we needed. We truly enjoyed our time here and would highly recommend this place—especially for long stays. Thank you again, Venkatraman, for your exceptional hospitality!

We rented the private hut space in the property and I must say, we felt home instantly! The Hut was so cozy and welcoming and it was exactly and more than what we expected. I wished that the ceiling of the first floor was even higher as we had to crawl every time we had to move. however, we got used to that too quite soon as it brought us all more together. We were allowed access to the common areas of the property. It is extremely well-maintained and it's heaven to be there. The kitchen had everything we needed and it's great we could cook ourselves, make ourselves some tea. Vignesh was a very kind and generous host. He showed us the other rooms which I'm looking forward to booking the next time I'm in Auroville. if you're looking for a place that's away from all the noise, amongst nature, economical, functional and feels at home, this is the place.

Rizas is an amazing host — warm, responsive, and thoughtful. The house is perfect for families, with all the comforts you’d want for a relaxed vacation. It’s conveniently located, with plenty of restaurants nearby and the charming French Colony just 1 km away, which made exploring the area super easy. The kitchen was well-equipped, making it great for those who enjoy cooking or just need a quick meal. Most of the main attractions are within close proximity, so getting around was a breeze. Highly recommend this stay for anyone visiting the area — it truly felt like a home away from home!

Very responsive and helpful host. Clean home which met our needs more than adequately. Due to our limited time and hectic schedule we could not spend time with the host family. We will definitely return in the cooler months and spend more time and explore the lovely city. Thank you guys!!

amazing owner and staff.... helped us in so many ways.

The home was very neat and spacious. And, the host, Jeyanandan was very friendly and responsive. The supervisor Eswar was also helpful in local navigation. Overall, we had a good and peaceful stay. Thank you.

Sure! Here’s a polished and friendly Airbnb review you can use or tweak as needed: ⸻ I had a wonderful stay at this place! The space was exactly as shown in the photos — clean, stylish, and thoughtfully arranged. It had everything I needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The location was also great, making it easy to get around. A special mention to the host, who was very responsive and helpful throughout. Would definitely love to stay here again on my next visit!

Had a great 2-night stay — the place was clean, cozy, and exactly as described. The host was responsive and made check-in super easy. It is near to Rock beach and walkable to many good restaurants and French colony. Would definitely recommend for a comfortable visit!

The host was very helpful. We asked for early checkin and he allowed it with reasonable price. The property is at prime location where beaches are at walkable distance and even cafes, french colony are just 100-200 m away.

really cooperative and helpful host. clear view to the sea. all zomato Swiggy delivery serve at the location. some electrical fixtures like balcony fan, sockets and kitchen light needs to be fixed. else really good.

The stay was incredibly cozy and felt just like home. It had all the amenities we needed, and the check-in process was seamless. Located in a peaceful residential area, it was just a 10-minute ride to all major attractions. Highly recommend!

I would recommend. It’s got all you need as a base to enjoy Pondy. Responsive host. All (minor) issues were sorted promptly. Cosy and comfortable place. Wish I had time to stay longer!

The stay was really comfortable. It was kept clean with all the necessary and mentioned amenities. Vivek was very helpful. We had asked for an early checkin. He was accomadative to respond to our needs.

My stay at this luxurious 1BHK retreat in Auroville was nothing short of spectacular! The private swimming pool was a highlight, offering the perfect spot to cool off and soak in the serene surroundings. The modern interiors were stylish and impeccably clean, creating a cozy yet upscale vibe. The bedroom was a haven of comfort, and the living area was ideal for unwinding after a day of exploring. The complete privacy made it a dream getaway for my partner and me, and the tranquil setting truly lived up to its promise of exclusivity. The hosts were gracious and ensured every detail was perfect. I can’t recommend this stunning retreat enough for anyone seeking a peaceful, luxurious escape!

Pros: 1) Covered Car Parking. 2) Responsive and thoughtful host ( she kept some eatables for us during check-in) 3) AC even in the living room . 4) Necessary amenities 5) Lift 6) Far from the hustle of the crowd but still located within walking/driving reach of the happening places. Improvement points: 1) In-house RO facility ( 10L can was provided and host did fill up whenever needed) . 2) A door peep hole will help in knowing who is knocking the door before opening it to strangers. Suggestion to reach location: Please take the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Road (which takes 1 -2 mins more than Google suggested route) as the access road in between is very narrow and roadwork was going on. Overall, definitely a place to visit for a pleasant stay in Pondicherry. thanks for the nice memories. 😃
