Hanamizu - Villa in Alibaug

Beautifully appointed, this calming home combines Japanese-inspired design, natural materials and tranquil recreational nooks to create a sanctuary of zen and calm along the Arabian coast. In complete isolation and privacy, this home blurs the boundaries between indoor-outdoor living. Find a breezy spot to unwind with a good book in the dotted sunrooms, or kick back on the front porch while soaking up the glistening sunshine. You can’t help but notice the art pieces and furniture that make the passages of this peaceful nest look no less than an art gallery in the bylanes of Tokyo. The lack of TVs means the stage is set to unplug from the virtual world and reconnect with the physical one. Beyond this luxurious home, you'll find ducks to feed at the Dhokawade Pond a five-minute drive away. Spend afternoons moseying around the quaint streets of Alibaug, finding delicious authentic culinary spots or dine at Boardwalk by Flamboyante which is a dreamy spot to spend the evening with the beautiful view as your background. 

And when you’re done exploring, you can return to Hana Mizu, open a bottle of wine in the garden as the kids splash away in the pool – it’s the perfect way to end your holiday.
