SaffronStays Villa 270

Standing on the edge of the cliff, looking out onto an endless expanse of water that stretches in three directions is the dreamy SaffronStays Villa 270° in Dapoli, just 239 km from Mumbai. This traditionally done set of 5 stunning sea-facing cottages are named after Dapoli's exotic native flowers: Jaswanti, Bakul, Aboli, Sugandhi and Shevanti and can be booked individually. Jaswanti is a bright room, perfect for a couple and their little furry friends. This rustic cottage has a unique blend of modern amenities and traditional decor. A man-made lake carefully constructed by the homeowner and a landscaped garden peppered with native flowers afford plenty of spaces to read and rest. The pet-friendly cottages have high-speed WiFi, making them an ideal workation close to Mumbai. Catch up on family gupshup in the garden lawn or tuck into scrumptious Konkani cuisine in the terrace-cum-dining area with panoramic views of the Arabian Sea. Our cook prepares home-cooked meals using locally sourced fresh ingredients, some must-trys of which are Kalya Vatanyachi Usal, Baingan bharta, Malvani fish, Mutton and Crab curries and Fish Fry. While you keep an eye out for black Pariah Kites that zoom past, hear the distant cries at the Harnai fishing port or drive to the Suvarnadurg Sea Fort just 15-minutes away. You can also head to Murud beach (3.5 km) for water sports or the turtle breeding centre at Velas (49 km). Rent out this private villa near Mumbai for a romantic weekend getaway with your better half, workations with extended families (3-4), an intimate Roka ceremony, or a sundowner with friends (up to 25 guests).
