Welcome to LuxUnlock! Established in 2020, we curate safe, self-contained, and deeply inspiring private holidays for discerning, design-minded travellers. What started as a vision to redefine safe travel has grown into a premier portfolio of 35+ exceptional homes across Southern India, Gujarat, and Sri Lanka. We feature properties in beloved getaways like Pondicherry, Coastal Tamil Nadu, Nilgris, Kodaikanal, Kabini, Coorg, Wayanad and the Kerala backwaters, Ahmedabad and a few off the beaten track destinations. What Makes Our Homes Stand Out Every property in our portfolio is handpicked because it tells a story. When you stay with us, you can expect: Architectural Marvels: From restored century-old heritage homes to stunning modernist designs blending with local traditions. Sustainable Soul: Properties that champion upcycled décor, vernacular architecture, and eco-friendly preservation. Immersive Destinations: A chance to explore untouched, beautiful locales like the Alamparai Coast and the Cauvery Delta. What to Expect During Your Stay While our homes celebrate antiquity, art, and heritage, your comfort is never compromised. The LuxUnlock Promise: Our elite team is drawn from India’s top luxury hospitality brands. We seamlessly blend the highest standards of 5-star personalized service and comfort with the warmth of a private, home-like setting. By choosing to stay with us, you are also supporting low-impact, sustainable tourism that directly uplifts local economies and preserves regional culture. We look forward to welcoming you and creating lasting memories on your next journey!

Maison Twenty-Six is a 120-year-old fully restored private garden villa in the heart of the French Quarter of Pondicherry. This one-of-a-kind home was built by a prosperous Franco-Tamil family who made their name in Indo-China. You too can enjoy the same exclusive experience in this beautiful home. Chill-out in one of the many lounging spaces with music, refreshments and lunch or have a chef whip up a meal served right in your villa. Pondicherry’s French Quarter with its tree-lined rues, pastel shaded colonial homes, and cafes and shops is the ideal setting to have a private space like this to stay, a place to getaway to, when you want to retreat from the tourists, in the privacy of your own French villa. Built on two levels, Maison Twenty-Six is set around a lush foliage filled courtyard with a central pillar of green trees, climbing tendrils, and tropical plants symbolising the Tree of Life, a theme that recurs in all the house’s four bedrooms. Winding slate pathways lead to, arguably, the central gathering point of the villa – the Courtyard Verandah.

Our villa is tucked away on Victor Simonel Street, right in the heart of Pondicherry’s historic French Quarter (famously known as White Town). Guests absolutely love this neighborhood for its distinct, time-travel aesthetic—think mustard-yellow colonial villas, cascading bougainvillea, and quiet, cobblestone-like streets that are best explored on foot or by bicycle. Staying here gives you the perfect blend of seaside tranquility, rich history, and a vibrant café culture right at your doorstep.
