Perched along the iconic 56 Goubert Avenue on Rock Beach, Sea Gadabout is Pondicherry's most intimate beachside retreat — a lovingly curated property in the heart of White Town's French Colonial quarter.
From the moment you step into our lobby, the sound of waves and the salt-laced sea breeze signal that this is no ordinary stay.

Every room is designed to make you feel at home at the water's edge.
Each room at Sea Gadabout is a distinct sanctuary — hand-furnished with care and positioned to make the most of Pondicherry's legendary coastline.
