Mumbai, the bustling metropolis, is not just about its towering skyscrapers and fast-paced life. Nestled along its western coast are some of the most inviting beaches, each with its unique charm and allure.

Juhu Beach


First up, we have the iconic Juhu Beach. Just a 10-minute drive from our hotel, this stretch of golden sand is the place where Mumbai comes to life. Whether you're in the mood for a leisurely stroll or a fun evening with loved ones, Juhu Beach has got you covered. The atmosphere here is always vibrant. You can savour the city's renowned street food offerings from local vendors, engage in photography sessions, or simply find a spot to sit and soak in the beautiful cityscape. One of the most famous beaches of Mumbai, it is also home to The Prithvi Theatre, a leading venue for contemporary and experimental theatre. This beach serves as the perfect spot to spend the evening.

Versova Beach


A 20-minute drive from our hotel will take you to Versova Beach, one of the cleanest beaches in Mumbai which is known for its white sand, clear waters and rocky coastline. This beach, adorned with charming Koli fishing villages, is perfect for swimming, sunbathing and leisurely strolls. Along its promenade, food stalls and restaurants serve delightful local delicacies, while evenings here are a visual treat with sunsets over the Arabian Sea, making Versova Beach one of the best beaches in Mumbai to visit for tourists and locals alike.

Aksa Beach


Aksa Beach, situated in Mumbai's Malad suburb, is a convenient one-hour drive from our hotel. Unlike its bustling counterparts, this beach is relatively less crowded and known for its golden sands, clear waters and relaxed ambience. However, do exercise caution while swimming here, as the strong waves make it unsuitable for inexperienced swimmers. If you seek a quieter alternative to Juhu Beach or Versova Beach, Aksa Beach is a delightful choice.

Dadar Chowpatty Beach


A mere 30-minute drive from our hotel, Dadar Chowpatty is a hub for swimming, sunbathing and picnicking, making it a versatile destination. Surrounding it are notable cultural landmarks, including the Dadar Parsi Colony, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Shree Siddhivinayak Ganapati Temple, a renowned Mumbai temple. As the day winds down, Dadar Chowpatty transforms into a sunset haven, with its promenade hosting lively street performers who captivate visitors with music, dance and acrobatics. Be mindful as it can get quite crowded, particularly on weekends. Opt for a weekday visit if you prefer a more relaxed experience. In sum, Dadar Chowpatty is one of the best beaches to visit in Mumbai as it offers an ideal blend of beachside enjoyment and cultural exploration.
