Alibaug
The Royal Wedding Destination of India

The Maharashtra Wedding Destination
Why Choose Alibaug for Your Wedding?
Alibaug's appeal is its combination of coastal scenery with genuine proximity to Mumbai — reachable via a roughly one-hour Ro-Ro ferry from the Gateway of India, or two-to-three hours by road — alongside a concentration of private, exclusive-hire beach villas that suit a more intimate, Bollywood-adjacent wedding aesthetic than Lonavala's larger resort properties.
