Mandarmani Hotels – Sand Fort Dwellings
Till very recent times, Mandarmani was just another beach town located in the state of West Bengal. But know Mandarmani has developed into a popular beach resort, beating its closest and more popular rival, the more frequented Digha beach into oblivion.
Situated off the Bay of Bengal in the East Midnapore district, one of the southern most districts of West Bengal, Mandarmani till recently remained an unexplored sea beach far away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
The main attraction of Mandarmani lies in the 13 km long coast line. Another unique aspect is that Mandarmani has the longest motor able beach in India.
Though a recently developed beach, Mandarmani has a lot of hotels in the budget range and a few resorts in the high-end that ensure you have a comfortable stay in this beach town. Many new hotels have come up in Mandarmani.
