Moonlit Summer Nights

MGM Beach ResoRt

Even with the

heat beating down during the day, being on the coastline ensures the sea breeze comes as a relief in the evenings. The closer you get to the coastline, the better it is. It's magical for a summer getaway and no more than a hop, skip and jump away from the city. MGM Beach Resort, one of the oldest on the East Coast Road offers full moon dinners every month with a multi-cuisine buffet and live counters that will let you choose your accompaniment to the sound of crashing waves. To add to the ambience is a live band playing right at the beach. “On these nights, we lay the tables on the beach and it is literally like a party here,” says A Laxman, director, finance and operations.

If you are looking for a more personalised experience, the resort also organises a candlelight dinner for two by the bay with dedicated butler service, a specially crafted menu and a red carpet leading you to the table. “Organised on request, these are quite popular for special occasions like birthdays and anniversaries,” says Laxman.

Besides these, MGM Beach Resort also has summer packages for short getaways, sight-seeing packages, mid-week buffets and a children’s play area that will keep your little ones entertained while you lounge by the ocean. AT 1/74, E Coast Rd, Muttukadu Tel 39102400 Price `1,300 plus taxes onwards
