“Take the time it takes to know yourself. Just by knowing yourself, you will travel.”
Gilles Vigneault
A luxury seaside resort
The Radisson Blu Resort Temple Bay sits at the entrance of Mahābalipuram — very quiet and very clean, with rooms, suites and apartments, most with balconies. This is a luxury hotel where you are treated like a royal guest: the setting is beautiful, if completely impersonal. Its swimming pool is gigantic — one of the largest you will ever see.
