Auroville Holidays

Dreaming of escaping reality? Hidden among the trees of Tamil Nadu sits Auroville, an experimental township founded in 1968 by the spiritual guru Mirra Alfassa. The idea of Auroville is simple: visitors are promised peace, harmony, and an unforgettable stay in the ‘City of Dawn’. Auroville holidays provide a unique insight into a community’s vision of utopia: a town where men and women of all nationalities live together. While you’re here, unwind with yoga and tai-chi sessions, tour organic farms run by residents and learn about the various social, environmental and agricultural projects that happen here. Discover another world in Auroville, and enjoy a break from reality for a little while.
