Sapphero Hotels has announced the signing of two new hospitality projects in Alibaug, Maharashtra, and near Kevadiya, Gujarat, marking another significant milestone in the group's strategic expansion across Western India. Both properties are scheduled to open in 2027 and will cater to the growing demand for quality business and leisure hospitality experiences in their respective destinations.

Located near the picturesque Varsoli Beach, the upcoming Alibaug resort will offer guests a tranquil retreat while remaining conveniently accessible from Mumbai and Pune. Designed to blend contemporary comfort with the relaxed charm of Alibaug, the property will appeal to weekend holidaymakers, families, corporate travelers, and destination event seekers. The resort will feature thoughtfully designed accommodations, an all-day dining restaurant, recreational facilities, landscaped outdoor spaces, and amenities suited for corporate retreats, social celebrations, and leisure stays. The development is being planned to meet the evolving expectations of today's travelers seeking immersive and experience-driven destinations.

Further strengthening its footprint in Gujarat, Sapphero Hotels has also signed a new 48 rooms hotel near Kevadiya. The project will offer a mix of contemporary hotel rooms and private villas, catering to families, leisure travelers, corporate groups, and destination events. The property is envisioned as a premium retreat that complements the growing tourism appeal of the region while providing guests with comfortable accommodation and curated experiences.

Commenting on the signings, Shamitav Jana, CEO, Sapphero Hotels, said, "Alibaug and Kevadiya continue to witness strong growth as preferred destinations for leisure and corporate travelers. These signings reflect our commitment to expanding in high-potential markets and strengthening our presence across Maharashtra and Gujarat. We are excited to bring the Sapphero hospitality experience to both destinations with properties that combine comfort, convenience, and strong local appeal."

Alibaug's proximity to Mumbai, improving connectivity, and rising popularity as a weekend and holiday destination have contributed to increasing demand for professionally managed hospitality assets. Similarly, Kevadiya's emergence as a major tourism hub, driven by the popularity of the Statue of Unity and ongoing infrastructure development, has created strong opportunities for quality hospitality investments.

Both properties, currently under development, are scheduled to become operational in 2027. With these signings, Sapphero Hotels continues to build a robust portfolio of business and leisure-focused properties, reinforcing its vision of becoming a preferred hospitality brand across Western India. The addition of the Alibaug resort and the Kevadiya hotel and villa project further strengthens the group's presence in two of the region's fastest-growing tourism destinations.

Mumbai, April, 2026: Since its discreet debut in early 2025, Mayfair Manor in Alibaug has transitioned from a promising coastal addition into an established bastion of privacy for India’s professional and social elite. While the initial buzz of its launch has long since settled, it has been replaced by a more enduring reputation as a vetted sanctuary where discretion is the primary currency. In a region often characterized by transient weekend crowds, the Manor has carved out a niche as a high-security, professionally serviced estate designed specifically for those who require an "off-grid" environment without sacrificing the refined standards of global hospitality.

The property’s enduring appeal lies in its architectural philosophy, which prioritizes seclusion and structural flexibility over traditional hotel density. Situated a mere ten minutes from Mandwa Jetty, the estate offers an immediate escape from the high-pressure corridors of Mumbai via ferry or speedboat, yet feels worlds apart once inside its lush, low-rise perimeter. The estate is thoughtfully divided into two distinct structures, a layout that has proven indispensable for the high-stakes leadership retreats and intimate family milestones that have come to define its guest list. With five premium bedrooms in the main villa and an additional two in the annex, the property allows for a sophisticated "buy-out" model where principal guests can maintain private quarters while hosting collective engagements in the expansive, nature-integrated common areas.

Beyond the architecture, the Manor has spent its first year cementing its status as a gastronomic destination, moving beyond standard menus to offer a deep dive into the soul of the Konkan. The culinary program is built around a rigorous "trawler-to-table" philosophy, where the morning’s catch from Alibaug’s local waters dictates the evening’s narrative. By blending regional authenticity with the polished presentation synonymous with the Mayfair brand, the dining experience reinforces the estate’s identity as a place of coastal serenity and cultural depth.

As it moves further into its second year, Mayfair Manor stands as a strategic triumph for Mayfair Hotels & Resorts, representing the brand’s successful expansion of its award-winning East and Northeast Indian hospitality standards to the western coast. It is no longer just a luxury villa; it is a refined coastal hideaway that has gained significant recognition among travel connoisseurs and wedding planners as the premier venue for events where exclusivity is non-negotiable. For the modern traveler or corporate leader seeking a nature-led escape that understands the necessity of personalized, quiet service, Mayfair Manor remains the most sophisticated address in Alibaug.

Mayfair Manor is an extension of Mayfair Hotels & Resorts, a hospitality group widely recognised for its award-winning properties across the East, Northeast, and Central regions of India, including destinations such as Bhubaneswar, Gangtok, Puri, and Raipur.
