Is Wind & Wave good for children?

Yes, with sensible supervision around water. In the five private pool villas, children can swim with only your family around, and the other stays share a large pool that opens at set hours. The pools are not fenced off from the villas, so plan for an adult to be watching. Air conditioning, ceiling fans and generator power backup keep everyone cool even in a power cut, kitchens in seven stays make children's mealtimes easy, and the property is gated.

What should a group know before booking?

Three things. First, the villas are a 30-minute drive from Pondicherry and Auroville, with the beach a 700 m walk away, so plan a car or taxi and some meals in. Second, each villa's booking page shows its guest limit, house rules and total for your dates, and the guest limit is firm, so choose the villa that fits your real numbers. Third, weekends, Pongal, Tamil New Year and the Christmas to New Year week book out first, so a group that needs several villas on the same dates should book early.
