As a preventive measure against the spread of Covid-19, we are working with limited options for accommodation.

From 8th June, Seaside Guest House is open for reservations with 10 rooms on its first floor and its usual in-house dining facilities. We request your cooperation to help us maintain safety and hygiene for everyone, by adhering to these guidelines.

For guest house and reservation details, please refer below.

The guest houses affiliated with Sri Aurobindo Society aspire to provide a conducive spiritual atmosphere. The guest houses are located very close to the Ashram and beach. Due to high number of requests (especially during the significant Ashram dates), we recommend making early reservations.
