Vivanta By Taj - Fisherman's Cove is a heritage beachfront retreat, set about 38 kilometres (24 miles) south of Chennai in Tamil Nadu. Built on the ramparts of an 18th-century Dutch fort and the once small fishing village of Covelong, it is a perfect destination to unwind and take in the panoramic views of the Bay of Bengal. Situated near the Covelong Beach, the resort is perfectly placed to explore Chennai, as well as the temple towns of Mahabalipuram and Kanchipuram.
Surrounded by 22 acres of tropical gardens, Fisherman's Cove houses 88 rooms and suites. Sleek and minimalist, it incorporates modern Scandinavian and European design influences. Rooms are assigned to different wings spread around the grounds, while the spacious cottages, some with their own private gardens have an outdoor sitting area overlooking the sea. For relaxation, there is a fabulous outdoor swimming pool, a fitness centre which offers yoga classes and Jiva Spa.
The three restaurants at the Fisherman's Cove excel in multi-cuisine, ranging from European gastronomy to exquisite seafood to mouth-watering barbecue. Families with children will enjoy turtle watching (seasonal) and catamaran rides. Guests can also try their hand at the traditional sea fishing methods practiced by the local fishermen. Day excursions include trips to Chennai and the ancient monuments of Mahabalipuram known for its stunning stone carvings.
