The Coast Running North
An untouched stretch of the Odisha shore, with the Olive Ridley beaches beginning north of here and the Bhitarkanika mangroves and their creeks behind them.
On the Ocean’s Edge
The River,The Sea, The Port
MAYFAIR Bay Resort stands on Marine Drive at Nua Sandhakuda, where the Mahanadi runs out into the Bay of Bengal: a port town's first resort, turned to the working water and the ships waiting in the roads. Fish Market, the seafood restaurant, keeps a mounted sailfish, a teal ceiling and the bay through the windows. Hilsa runs up the river in the monsoon and pomfret and mackerel come off the trawlers at the fishing harbour. Coastal kitchens cook most of it besara: ground mustard, garlic and green chilli. North along the coast is Gahirmatha, the world's largest Olive Ridley nesting beach.
Where the Mahanadi slips out into the Bay of Bengal, the busy port town gives way to a contemporary calm. Sea air moves through the palms, the untouched coast runs away to the north, and from the balcony the ships wait out in the roads as the light goes. The sea sets the pace here, and guests find the day slowing gently to follow it.Where the Mahanadi meets the Bay of Bengal, the port town gives way to calm: sea air in the palms, ships waiting in the roads at dusk, and the sea setting the pace of the day.
Highlights
MAYFAIR Bay Resort stands on Marine Drive where the Mahanadi meets the Bay of Bengal, facing the working port, so the ships waiting offshore become part of the evening.
Dinner at Fish Market
Named plainly, cooked freshly. The day's landings come off the boats and are cooked to order in the resort's own seafood room: a port town has earned one.
Weddings at the Orchid Hall
Over 1,400 square metres of event space, indoor and out. The Orchid hall and the lawns take conferences and weddings for a town that has never had a venue like it.

Where the River Meets the Sea
Paradeep stands where the Mahanadi reaches the Bay of Bengal, Odisha's great seaport of ships, river and open horizon. Just up the coast at Gahirmatha the world's largest gathering of Olive Ridley turtles comes ashore, with the Bhitarkanika mangroves and their creeks behind.
The coast is kindest from October to February, cool and dry for the shore and the sanctuaries.
