There is nothing like lounging around a private pool on a holiday — especially while basking in the sunshine and soaking in the views of coconut groves and mountain peaks. At the foothills of Anamalai Hills in the Western Ghats, Coco Lagoon getaway resort by Great Mount makes this possible by adding plunge pool villas, where the rooms face not just a pond but also come with small dipping pools. “Though we have a common pool, most guests who started travelling after the pandemic preferred private plunge pools, especially with children in mind,” says P T S Maheswar, executive director of Coco Lagoon. Other additions include a tropical suite and executive deluxe villas that open to picture postcard views of greenery, and private pool villa suites where they serve floating breakfast by the pool.

The resort positioned as a family destination keeps the itinerary close to Nature where guests can go on a bullock ride to an adjacent village, a guided morning walk along the serene Ambarampalayam river, or cycle around the property listening to the calls of hill mynas, and parakeets. “Now, our focus is to offer the Pollachi experience where they can choose from wildlife or tea tourism, culture and traditions, or the cuisine that is unique to the region,” explains Maheswar adding that Topslip and Parambikulam that are located close by draw tourists who want to explore wildlife and bird watching.
