A calm base 50 minutes from the basilica, with Nagore, Karaikal Beach and a pool to come back to.
Velankanni gets crowded, especially around the annual feast in late August and early September. Many families prefer a quieter base nearby and drive in for the day.
About 50 minutes away
From RK Resorts in Thirunallar, Velankanni is about 50 minutes by car. Leave early for the basilica and the beach, and you are back for lunch.
Cover Karaikal too
Stop at Nagore Dargah on the way, spend the evening at Karaikal Beach, and visit the Karaikal Ammaiyar temple in town.
Come back to calm
A swim in the infinity pool, dinner at Crave, and a quiet room. Our travel desk can arrange the car. See all places near Karaikal.
