Auroville is an experimental commune made up of people from all over the world. The Matrimandir, a giant golden globe, is the main attraction here. After a short meditation session, visit the production units and boutiques which market products such as handmade paper, woodworks, pottery, and textiles.
Take a stroll down the Promenade Beach, a lively beach which spans 1.2 km and features several landmarks such as the War Memorial, the statue of Joan of Arc and the Old Light House. The Rock Beach, on the other hand, is less crowded, making it the perfect spot for relaxing with your friends and enjoying the sea breeze.
What's a bachelor party without drinks? Head over to Seagulls, a restaurant and rooftop bar that serves a variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages along with Indian and Continental cuisine. Catch a live band performing while enjoying the stunning views of the Bay of Bengal.
The Paradise Beach Island, also known as Plage Paradiso, is a secluded white sand beach located in Chunnambar Boat House. Reach there via boat from the boathouse and indulge in water sports like kayaking, scuba diving, and jet ski. Try their fresh seafood at the beachside restaurants.
If you and your friends are in the mood for some wellness, head over to the Satsanga Retreat Centre. Start your day with an early morning hour of yoga and meditation followed by Ayurvedic massage treatments and organic food. The perfect place to rest and rejuvenate before heading back home.
You can spend more time exploring Auroville by taking part in workshops, attending events, and exploring nearby heritage sites like Gingee Fort in case of an extra day. Visiting Ousteri Lake during the sunset, experiencing French cuisine at Villa Shanti, and venturing into the Pondicherry Botanical Garden are other recommended things to do if you have more time.
