Vacation Rentals in Chennai

Holiday homes with room to relax

Our vacation rentals in Chennai give you a whole home rather than a hotel room — private living spaces, an equipped kitchen, multiple bedrooms and the calm of a residential neighbourhood. Whether it's a weekend in the city, a wedding to attend, a school-holiday trip or an NRI family returning home, a self check-in holiday home gives everyone room to spread out, eat together and settle in at their own pace.

Because every home is self-serviced, the space is entirely yours for the length of your stay. There's no daily housekeeping interrupting your day and no fixed checkout for breakfast — just a comfortable, private base to come back to after exploring Chennai.

Choose the neighbourhood that suits you

Pick Mahalingapuram or Nungambakkam for a quiet, central base near T Nagar and the hospitals; Anna Nagar for leafy, family-friendly space and metro access; or T Nagar for shopping and quick access to Loyola College. Travelling for an appointment or treatment? Our homes near Egmore, Apollo Greams Road and Sterling Road keep you close to care. Every home is self check-in and managed by an Airbnb Superhost rated 4.81 across 539 reviews.

Short stays and long stays alike

Book a couple of nights or settle in for a month — we welcome both. For longer visits we offer monthly rates that work out far better value than a hotel, with the added comfort of a kitchen and laundry. Short-stay guests get the same effortless smart-lock arrival and the freedom to plan their days around the city rather than the property.

Everything you need, included

Each home comes with a furnished living room, comfortable bedrooms, an equipped kitchen, air conditioning, fast Wi-Fi, a washing machine, free parking and smart-lock self check-in. Towels and basic toiletries are provided, and homes are professionally cleaned before every stay so you arrive to a fresh, ready space.

Getting around Chennai

Chennai is easy to navigate from our neighbourhoods. Ola and Uber cabs and Rapido autos are reliable and reasonably priced across the city, the metro serves Anna Nagar and central areas, and Egmore and Central stations connect you to the rest of Tamil Nadu. Most of our homes are a short ride from the airport, T Nagar shopping and the city's major hospitals.

Things to see and do in Chennai

Base yourself in one of our homes and the city opens up: Marina Beach for an early-morning walk, the temples and galleries of Mylapore, the shopping streets of T Nagar, and a food scene that runs from classic filter coffee and dosa to multi-cuisine fine dining. Day trips to Mahabalipuram's shore temples or DakshinaChitra are within easy reach, and the cooler months from November to February are ideal for sightseeing.

Booking direct with Mayfair Stays

Every home is live on our Airbnb listings with verified reviews, secure payment and instant confirmation, and prices update automatically for your dates. Browse the homes above, choose the one that fits your group, and check availability in a couple of taps. Travelling for a wedding or a longer holiday? Message us and we'll help you pick the right home and, where possible, offer a better rate for a longer stay.

Choosing the right home for your trip

With homes ranging from compact studios to three-bedroom houses, it helps to match the space to your trip. A couple or solo traveller in town for a few days is well served by a Sterling Road studio; a family or group will be more comfortable in a 3BHK like Luxe Azure, Ivory Grove or Heritage Charm, which sleep up to eight and have full kitchens and living areas. If your stay is built around hospital visits, the homes near Apollo, MGM and Sankara Nethralaya keep travel time short, while shoppers and sightseers tend to prefer the T Nagar and Anna Nagar homes. Tell us your group size, your dates and your reason for visiting, and we'll happily point you to the home that fits best.
