These recent investments made by famous Bollywood stars demonstrate Alibaug's growing popularity as a hideaway for the wealthy and famous.
The attractiveness of Alibaug is heightened by government measures targeted at improving the connection between Mumbai and the coastal town. Infrastructure projects such as the Virar-Alibaug corridor, the Roll-on-Roll-off (RORO) service, and the Mumbai Trans-Harbour Link (MTHL) have the potential to revolutionise travel dynamics by shortening transit times and accelerating real estate development in the region.
The rise in activity is consistent with the larger trend in India's luxury real estate category, which has emerged as a driving force in the sector following the epidemic. With a growing number of high-net-worth individuals and increased interest among Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) in investing back home, demand for premium homes is on the rise, demonstrating the real estate market's durability and dynamism in the face of changing economic landscapes.
