Wake to panoramic sea vistas and private balconies. As evening comes, unwind at Sundowner, our terrace cafe, while the ocean paints the sky — then return to rooms crafted for calm on the scenic Marine Drive.
Puri's beach is one of the longest on India's east coast, and our stretch at Baliapanda is the quiet end of it — wide, walkable at dawn, and close enough to hear the surf from the terrace.
Three short films, stored on this site and credited to their makers: the chariot procession that stops the whole town each monsoon, the deities carried out to their chariots, and the sun going down at Konark. Each clip loads only when it reaches your screen.
Eight categories, from front sea-facing doubles to family rooms with separate living rooms — every one air-conditioned, Wi-Fi connected and a short walk from the waves.
The multi-cuisine restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner in a relaxed, refined room. Upstairs, Sundowner pairs snacks and beverages with golden-hour light over the Bay of Bengal.
Everything here is arranged through the front desk or the travel desk — no need to plan it before you arrive.
☀
Sunrise on the balcony
Tea, a chair and the first light on the water. Puri faces east, so the sun rises out of the sea — front sea-facing rooms see it without leaving bed.
◍
Sunset at Sundowner
The terrace catches the last hour of light. Snacks, beverages and a long view north along the coast.
✦
Jagannath darshan
About 3 km away. The desk arranges transport and advises on the quieter darshan windows through the day.
⛵
Konark and the coast road
Roughly an hour south along Marine Drive — Sun Temple, Chandrabhaga beach and the casuarina woods at Balukhand.
❖
Craft villages
Pattachitra painters at Raghurajpur and the appliqué workshops of Pipili, both easy half-day drives.
◈
Gym and kids' play area
Keep the routine going indoors, or let the children burn off the morning before the beach.
Sun, sand & serenity
Gatherings by the sea
A 1,300 sq. ft. banquet hall for up to 90 guests, coastal surroundings, and a MICE desk that handles the logistics — corporate conferences, anniversaries and celebrations that run seamlessly.
Travel desk — car hire, temple transport, Konark and Chilika day trips and craft-village drives can all be arranged after you arrive. Bring the question; we will work out the rest.

Puri travel guide
Plan the trip, not just the room
Practical, Puri-specific guides written by people who know the coast — how to get here, when to come, and what a good day looks like.
New Marine Drive Road runs along the coast between the town and the lighthouse. Baliapanda, where we sit, is the residential end of the beach — quieter, but still a short drive from the temple and the railway station.

New Marine Drive Road PO/PS Baliapanda, Puri 752001

The building itself
From the air, and after dark
Until now these two views only existed on our OTA listings. The aerial shows how close the property sits to the sand; the night frame shows the lit balconies you will be looking out from.
