Marakkanam
Private beach. Your own pool. The sound of the sea.
Prestige's most exclusive property — now open.
The Country Bay is Prestige Clubs & Resorts' most ambitious and exciting property yet. Newly constructed on the Marakkanam coastline — one of Tamil Nadu's most beautiful stretches of beach — The Country Bay brings together private beach access, a stunning swimming pool, and the genuine warmth of 15 years of Prestige hospitality.
This is not just another resort near Chennai. The Country Bay is a beachfront retreat where the sound of the waves is constant, the horizon is unobstructed, and your mornings start with the sea. Something that no property in the Prestige family has offered before.
For Prestige Vacations members, The Country Bay adds a completely new dimension to the membership — a private coastal escape that joins The Country Resort and The Country Suites to give members the most complete holiday portfolio of any Chennai-based membership company.
Every Prestige property has its signature. The Country Bay has three — and none of them exist anywhere else in the portfolio.
Direct, exclusive access to the Marakkanam beach — no shared public beach, no crowds. Walk out of the property and onto the sand. The sea is yours, anytime.
A beautifully designed pool against the backdrop of the Bay of Bengal. Swim in the pool, hear the sea — a combination no other property along the ECR corridor offers.
Built by the team behind The Country Resort and The Country Suites — the same warmth, the same care, the same quality that 14,000+ members trust. Now with the sea as backdrop.
Most resorts near Chennai will tell you they're "near the beach." The Country Bay gives you something fundamentally different — private, direct access to your own stretch of the Marakkanam coastline.
No public crowd. No shared beach. Just your group, the sand, and the Bay of Bengal stretching to the horizon.
The Country Resort gives you a resort retreat. The Country Suites gives you a private villa. The Country Bay gives you the sea.
The Country Bay is the only Prestige property with direct beach access — the most unique and exclusive in the entire portfolio.
Newly built from the ground up — every room, every facility, every detail built fresh to the current Prestige standard of quality.
South of Mahabalipuram, north of Pondicherry — Marakkanam is one of Tamil Nadu's most beautiful and least commercialised coastal towns.
Prestige Vacations members get priority booking and exclusive rates — because members have always come first, and The Country Bay is no exception.
Some holidays are about seeing things. The Country Bay is about feeling things — the sand, the breeze, the water, the quiet.

Children and beaches are a magical combination. Add a safe pool and the full Prestige experience — and you have the family holiday your kids will ask to repeat every year.
Cricket on the sand, evenings around the pool, a long dinner with the sea breeze — The Country Bay is the group holiday venue Chennai has been missing.
A birthday by the sea. An anniversary on the beach. A milestone with the Bay of Bengal as the backdrop — The Country Bay elevates every celebration automatically.
