Weekend Chillout @ Zest

It was last Friday. We went for a long drive to Zest @ Big Beach, Puducherry. It is a beach resort located at 16 km from Pondicherry, off Cuddalore road. It is the biggest resort in Pondicherry.

I went along with my family members. That was an awesome experience and I would like to share few things that I really enjoyed.

We were nine of us and we went in car. We started around 12.30 in noon and had a plan to go to the resort and come back. On the way we visited crocodile bank. It is the largest breeding center of crocodiles. It also has a snake farm. We saw lot of snakes, turtles and crocodiles. We also saw how they take poison out of snakes. The people there gave us a info that snakes poison is a kind of medicine. Then after, we continued our drive. We had our lunch on the way.

We reached pondicherry around 4 o clock in evening. We visited Aurobindo ashram and we were admiring the beach and feeling the pleasant breeze by having coffee in Le Café. Then after we had dinner at Karai restaurant in pondy and left from there around 8.30 and reached Zest resort by 9pm on Friday night.
The first time I am stepping into beach resort which I had only heard off. It was lovely place for relaxation. I had a kind of break from my routine mechanical life.


It was like a heaven when I stepped into the AC room in this hot weather. What a cot...I was flat on bed and didn’t feel like waking up. It had bolster pillow and Sofa Pillows on it. Room facilities include 400 sq. ft area, glass walls, open air shower, LCD TV, etc. It was decorated with few night lamps and designer lamps.

We had dance class and they thought us a dance for the song from Passion Fruit The Rigga-Ding-Dong. I enjoyed dancing for an hour.


Since it is situated near beach people there made a sand sculpture. It was an amazing work by them...

Facilities in the Zest include a swimming pool, a Multicuisine restaurant, a beach shack, a sophisticated gym, a large conference room, and a lounge bar to chill out. Activities at the resort include cycling, beach cricket and barbeque.
After staying there for two nights, On Sunday we left the place with no heart of coming back to our routine life. On the way back home we visited Mahabalipuram. There after had our lunch in ‘The Farmhouse’ situated in ECR Road and we reached home around 5.30 in the evening.

On the whole, the trip gave me an unforgettable week end. Even you can take a break from your routine life and do visit places like this and get relaxed, have a peaceful and tension free mind.
