El Parque - Villa in Alibaug

Moments away from the frenzy of everyday life, El Parque is a one-of-a-kind holiday home. Literally translating to 'The Park,' this luxe villa takes inspiration from the surrounding green verdancy, nature and the sprawling outdoors. Serving as the ideal haven, it is nestled amidst a whopping 15 acres of mango trees, mountainscapes and the forest. The dramatic, ash-grey facade starkly contrasts the soothing greenery that surrounds the home, adding a certain alluring charisma. 

The indoor spaces are a harmonious melange of vibrant furnishings and striking artworks. Each wall is ornamented with beautiful paintings, and each nook is adorned with snug seating arrangements. The swanky, English-style, poolside bar is the perfect hangout spot, while the L-shaped pool is made for an evening spent relaxing. The meticulously landscaped gardens feature a children’s play area, along with scattered pockets of characteristic outdoor furnishings. Also boasting a chic lounge with a myriad of indoor games, this home is the definition of a laid-back getaway, bathed in nature and thoughtfully enhanced with modern luxury.
