AccorHotels today announced the opening of Varun Beach Bheemili Resort managed by AccorHotels. Located 25 kilometres North-East of Visakhapatnam, the resort features 28 exotic rooms overlooking the scenic Bay of Bengal amid uninterrupted views and unmatched resort amenities. Featuring five acres of pristine shorelines, Varun Beach Bheemili Resort is within walking distance to Bheemili beach. Formerly a Dutch settlement, Bheemili's rich history which is characterised by traces of Buddhism, offers travellers a culturally enriching and quaint experience with plenty of local attractions.                

Access to the Varun Beach Bheemili Resort from Visakhapatnam is dotted by one of the world's most picturesque marine drives and is within relative proximity to the city's airport and railway station (42 kilometres and 33 kilometres respectively). The resort features a selection of food and dining outlets at The Square, an all-day dining restaurant, Infinity, an outdoor poolside diner, Water Bar for that perfect sundowner and Teppanyaki for a simple barbeque and grill. Recreational facilities include a rooftop infinity pool, the first for any resort or hotel along India's East coast and a spa for pampering facial and massage treatments.

For outdoor team building activities or social events the resort offers five acres of outdoor space, perfect for any corporate weekend retreats.

Jean-Michel Cassé, Senior Vice President, Operations, AccorHotels India said, “India is a priority market for us and one in which we are seeing solid growth momentum. By the end of this year, we expect to have a strong presence with a network of 45 hotels in the country. The state of Andhra Pradesh is integral to our development strategy and we are committed to opening more world class hotels here. The Varun Beach Bheemili Resort is our second hotel alongside the 225-room Novotel Visakhapatnam and we have plans to open another Novotel with a convention centre in Vijayawada sometime later.”

He further added, “The Varun Beach Bheemili Resort is a fine example of our lifestyle and boutique hotels adapted to a locale.”

Madhav Bellamkonda, General Manager, Varun Beach Bheemili Resort managed by AccorHotels & Novotel Visakhapatnam Varun Beach said, “Varun Beach Bheemili Resort infuses local architectural elements with the warmth of Novotel hospitality, elegance and simplicity focused on the needs of the leisure or business traveller. Our large sea-facing rooms with balconies are the closest to a cruise experience on land made even more real with the rising Sun over the East coast, making it a memorable stay for our guests. We look forward to welcoming guests to this pristine property.”
