Chennai is a cosmopolitan city with hundreds of temples dedicated to Hindu deities, an exciting culinary scene, and a compelling musical tradition. Chennai is the capital of Tamil Nadu state. It is often cited as one of the best cities in India to settle and work. It is also known as a film production center and a base for India’s automobile industry. The city is established on the Bay of Bengal’s Coromandel Coast, which brings residents and visitors steps away from gorgeous beaches. You can also go on boat tours along the Adyar and Cooum (Koovam) rivers flowing through the city. The “Gateway to South India” is a prime destination for unplugging and unwinding with your loved ones. If you want to explore this south Indian city in comfort and style, check out our selection of the top villas in Chennai, India.

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on March 02, 2024.

1. Spacious villa with stunning views of the Bay of Bengal (from USD 169)

This beachfront villa has plenty of indoor and outdoor space for relaxing. Head to the second-floor terrace to take in the mesmerizing views of the Bay of Bengal. It also has a dual barbecue grill for a fun cookout. If you prefer indoor cooking, there’s a fully equipped kitchen at your disposal.

Marble flooring, imported fittings, and teak furniture offer touches of luxury. Take turns on the mic of the karaoke system in the first-floor living area. Guests can use the covered parking space allotted for two vehicles. For those looking to venture out and explore, attractions such as VGP Golden Beach, Mayajaal Multiplex, and ISKCON (Lord Krishna) Temple are less than a 15-minute drive away from the property.

Me, with the sandal bought from Ganesh Leather Works

The nearby coastal town of Mahabalipuram is home to many artists and craftsmen. Apart from stores selling beautiful stone sculptures, you will come across several shops selling handmade footwear and leather bags. I had been eyeing them for a long time, and the last time I visited Mahabalipuram, I decided to go for it. I picked a gladiator-style design from Ganesh Leather Works (https://www.instagram.com/di_nesh6565_dinesh/) and the shoemakers there took the measurements of my feet to customize it for me. The next day, I got the final product. Considering the craftsmanship and the quality of the leather, the 1,500 INR I paid were completely worth it. I have been using the sandal now extensively, and it's very comfortable.

The Kottivakkam branch of Ciro's Pizzeria, one of the best pizza places in Chennai, is just 15 minutes away from here. I love their Parma Classica (Parma ham, arugula, mozzarella, parmesan) and Parma Deliziosa (Parma ham, pistachio, white truffle oil, and mascarpone). You can also add extra toppings. The vegetarian options are equally mouthwatering! Do note that this branch only offers takeaway or you can get home delivery.
