A full resort experience — pool, dining, leisure — without an overnight stay. Just 90 minutes from Chennai, any day of the year.
A Prestige day outing is not a casual visit. It is a carefully designed day experience that gives you everything a resort stay offers — pool access, resort-quality dining, beautiful grounds, leisure activities, and genuine service — all without the need to book an overnight stay.
Drive down from Chennai in the morning. Spend the day in and around the pool. Have a proper lunch at the resort restaurant. Walk the grounds, unwind, breathe. Drive back in the evening feeling like you took a full vacation. Not a day off. A real reset.
Available year-round at all three Prestige properties — The Country Resort, The Country Suites, and The Country Bay. Members get priority access and exclusive day outing rates.
Every day outing is yours to shape — but here is what a great Prestige day looks like from start to finish.
Drive down the ECR — one of Chennai's most scenic coastal roads. 90 minutes of easy driving through the coast, and you arrive at the resort feeling like the city is already far away.
Our team welcomes you in. Get settled, freshen up, and start with a tea or coffee at the restaurant. Take your time — the day is entirely yours.
The pool is the heart of a Prestige day outing. Swim, float, splash with the kids, or just sit poolside with a cold drink. The pool area is well-maintained, spacious, and genuinely enjoyable for all ages.
A proper lunch — not resort fast food. At The Country Resort, the Green Bay restaurant serves fresh seafood, vegetarian options, and a full à la carte menu. The kind of meal that makes an afternoon feel slow and good.
Walk the resort grounds. Play an indoor game. Go back to the pool for a late afternoon dip. This is the part of the day that feels most like a holiday — slow, aimless in the best possible way, completely unhurried.
Pack up, say goodbye to the team, and get back on the ECR. You'll be back in Chennai by dinner — feeling like you actually rested. That is the entire point of a Prestige day outing.
Everything you need for a complete day at the resort — no overnight booking required.
Full access to the resort swimming pool throughout your day visit. Families, couples, and solo visitors all love the pool — it is the centrepiece of every day outing.
Full access to the resort restaurant — Green Bay at The Country Resort — for breakfast, lunch, or an afternoon snack. À la carte menu with fresh, locally sourced food.
Access to the beautifully landscaped gardens, grounds, and resort common areas — for a stroll, a quiet sit-down, or just enjoying the natural setting.
Indoor and outdoor activities available — indoor games, outdoor activities, and leisure options. Something for every age and energy level at every property.
The same warm Prestige team service that overnight guests receive — welcoming you in, attending to your needs, and making sure your day is exactly as good as it should be.
Spacious, secure parking for day visitors at all Prestige properties. Drive down without any concern about your vehicle throughout the day.
Each property offers a different day outing experience. Pick the one that fits what you are looking for.
Mahabalipuram · ~90 min
The most complete day outing experience — with the Green Bay restaurant, resort grounds, activities, and the iconic ECR setting near the Mahabalipuram Shore Temple.
Mahabalipuram · ~90 min
The private villa day outing — access to the pool and resort facilities at The Country Suites. A more intimate setting, ideal for smaller groups who want a quieter day.
Marakkanam · ~2 hrs
The beach day outing — the only Prestige property with private beach access. Spend a day by the pool and the sea at Marakkanam. The most unique day outing experience on the entire ECR.
From families needing a weekend reset to corporate teams looking for a refreshing offsite — the day outing works for everyone.
Kids and pools are a perfect combination. A day outing gives children a full resort experience — swimming, outdoor play, good food — while parents actually get to relax. One of the most popular uses of the Prestige day outing.
A pool day at a resort, followed by a long, unhurried lunch — it is the kind of weekday or weekend that couples come back from feeling closer. No overnight planning, no packing. Just a really good day together.
A group day outing at Prestige is part pool party, part lunch gathering, part just hanging out somewhere that is not home or a restaurant. Groups consistently rate the day outing as one of their best group experiences.
Team day outings at Prestige are used by companies across Chennai for informal team-building, celebration lunches, and mid-year offsites. A resort setting does what a meeting room never could — it gets people to actually relax together.

Getting there early means you have the pool and grounds almost to yourself for the first couple of hours. The midday period is the busiest — arriving early gives you the best of the day in peace.
Day outing slots on weekends and public holidays fill up. Call or WhatsApp us 3–5 days ahead to secure your slot — especially for groups of 8 or more.
You do not need much — swimwear, a change of clothes, and sunscreen. The resort has changing facilities, towels on request, and everything else you will need for a comfortable day.
If you can manage a weekday visit, you will have the pool, the restaurant, and the grounds with far fewer guests. The experience is calmer, the service is more attentive, and the whole day feels more like a private retreat.
Just 90 minutes from Chennai — pool, food, fresh air, and genuine rest.
One call is all it takes.
