About SWIMMING POOL SIDE
An Open-Air Venue With a Resort Backdrop
The Swimming Pool Side at Mayfair Puri is an open-air event space set along the resort's outdoor swimming pool, offering a relaxed yet distinctive setting for celebrations and gatherings on the Odisha coast. The space blends the natural ambience of a beachside resort with the ease of a managed venue — guests are surrounded by lush resort landscaping, open skies, and the gentle atmosphere that comes with being steps away from one of India's most visited pilgrimage and leisure destinations, Puri. The combination of tropical greenery, poolside water features, and the resort's warm hospitality creates an environment that feels both celebratory and unhurried.
This venue suits couples and families who want their event to feel less like a conventional banquet and more like an experience — where the setting itself becomes part of the occasion. The open-air format makes it particularly appealing for evening events, when resort lighting plays across the water and the Odisha night air carries the faint sound of the nearby sea. During the day, the space offers a bright, photogenic backdrop that lends itself naturally to social events, pre-wedding functions, and leisure gatherings.
Events & Occasions
The Swimming Pool Side is well suited to a range of social and celebratory events. Pre-wedding functions such as mehendi, haldi, and cocktail evenings are a natural fit, where the outdoor setting and scenic backdrop allow for relaxed, colourful setups that photograph beautifully. Small to mid-sized wedding receptions, birthday celebrations, anniversary dinners, and social get-togethers also translate well to this space.
For corporate groups, the poolside setting offers an informal atmosphere that works for team outings, sundowner events, networking evenings, and leisure components of a corporate retreat or offsite programme. Mayfair Puri — also known as Mayfair Waves — is a well-established resort property on Chakra Tirtha Road, and its event infrastructure supports a range of setups including decorated seating arrangements, buffet counters, and bar stations alongside the pool.
Décor possibilities in an open-air poolside setting typically include floral arrangements, drapes, fairy lights, and floating installations — elements that complement the water and greenery rather than compete with them. Guests and planners are advised to discuss specific décor, AV, and catering arrangements directly with the resort's events team, as configurations and inclusions vary by event type and season.
Location & Accessibility
Mayfair Puri sits on Chakra Tirtha Road in Puri, Odisha, placing it within close reach of the Puri beach and within the broader cultural and pilgrimage landscape centred around the Jagannath Temple. Puri is well connected by rail, with Puri Railway Station serving trains from major cities across India, and by road from Bhubaneswar, which has the nearest commercial airport. The resort's coastal location means that out-of-town guests can combine an event stay with time at the beach, making destination celebrations here a genuinely attractive proposition for families travelling from across the country.
