From Beach Town to Realty Gem: Alibaug’s Rise in Housing

March 27, 2025:Real estate for centuries has focused around the metro cities in India, especially the MMR and NCR regions. But with the advent of infrastructure and the change and shift of buyer’s preference, from concentrating in a particular metropolitan to exploring beyond just the address, many real estate hotspots have emerged. One of the hotspots among others is Alibaug, especially in the eyes of investors due to the scenic perplexity, the beach, and the oceanic serenity.

Contemporary industry research, including by MagicBricks, points to a substantial increase in demand for property in Alibaug owing to its strategic positioning and prospects for high-end development. This trend is not just apparent in residential property sales but also in the expansion of the second home market as investors are increasingly scouting for holiday homes and investment properties that offer luxury as well as long-term value appreciation.

Alibaug’s investment possibilities are also maturing at a fast clip as land buying has picked up in the last year. With investors homing in on this new market, prospective buyers are being served a wide range of possibilities that include plot investments and ready-to-move-in homes. Infrastructure development in the town and connectivity enhancements also boost the potential of the town as a real estate destination.

Mohit Malhotra, Founder & CEO, Neoliv, said, “Alibaug is no longer just a weekend escape, it is fast emerging as Mumbai’s answer to the Hamptons. Enhanced connectivity through the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL) and Ro-Ro ferry services has transformed this coastal town into a high-demand real estate destination. What was once a quiet retreat is now a thriving hotspot for luxury living and investment. The region is witnessing an unprecedented surge in demand, driven by ultra-luxury villas, premium plotted developments, and second homes. With its serene landscapes, pristine beaches, and close proximity to Mumbai, Alibaug is attracting high-net-worth individuals, celebrities, and investors looking for long-term value appreciation.”

He further added, “As the preference for open spaces, sustainable living, and private residences grows, Alibaug is becoming the go-to destination for those seeking an escape from the city’s hustle while still staying well-connected. With infrastructure development on the rise and property values steadily appreciating, the town is poised to be the next big real estate goldmine, offering both lifestyle appeal and strong investment potential.

The rising interest of HNIs and celebrities highlights the attraction of Alibaug as a developing status symbol. A picturesque blend of natural beauty, solitude, and modern facilities is attracting high-net-worth investors, with many seeing the region as the ideal merger of a Pacific lifestyle and rewarding investment opportunities.

All in all, Alibaug’s enticing recipe of investment prospects, celebrity endorsement, emerging second home market, and positive land-buying trends all collectively portend a promising future. For investors hunting for a market with considerable upside potential, Alibaug is emerging from the waves as an irresistible island of opportunity on India’s real estate horizon.

Indians Look to Influencers for Travel Ideas, Amadeus Reports

MARCH 27, 2025 – New research from technology innovators Amadeus explores what travelers are looking for from a trip and how technology can make those ambitions come true. The report – Travel Dreams – draws on input from 6,000 travelers from the US, China, India, the UK, France, and Germany to understand how they choose where to visit, how they want to book, and what factors most impact a trip once they are on the road.

The study finds that the channels now driving travel are changing too. Social media ads and travel influences have risen the most in influence in the last five years, while newspapers, in-person travel agents and TV ads are all seeing fluctuations in importance as a source of inspiration for a travelers’ next destination.  In India, 50% of travelers are likely to be inspired by travel influencers, significantly higher than other countries—27% in the US, 21% in the UK, 16% in Germany, and just 11% in France.

Two-thirds of hotel guests (63%) are willing to pay extra for features such as a specific view or floor, to have an Xbox in their room or to have local attractions added to their package. While in India, travelers would pay on average 16% above the standard average daily rate to get the view they want. The research shows these features could add around 12% to the average daily rate (ADR) charged by the hotel, which could increase revenues by over $5,300 per room*, per year, for an average mid-range hotel chain looking to sell these extra features.

Leisure travelers crave the personal touch from hotels, with 50% of travelers saying that receiving a personalized service and welcome would be top of the list in achieving their ideal hotel experience. Over half of the guests (52%) said they would be willing to share personal data in return for tailored deals (with fewer people, 40%, open to doing so for a reduced price). Nearly half (48%) of all leisure guests shared a preference for a traditional check-in desk, with a person to talk them through the hotel amenities.  Over half of people from India (53%) say that future trips would be improved with enhanced wellness offerings, such as on-site spas, fitness programs, and mental health retreats.

Business travelers are looking for more technology in their pursuit of efficiency, with 71% of business travelers interested in a form of online or self-service check-in. In India nearly a third (30%) of travelers prefer an online check-in process in advance with keyless access to their room. Nearly a quarter (22%) of business travelers want the option of paying with crypto currency or a digital wallet in the future – suggesting the payments landscape may also be shifting.

Lack of insurance is costing travelers real money. The global travelers surveyed said the average amount they think they have lost due to not having travel insurance stands at an average of US$1,210 per person – a sizeable sum. The average Indian traveler said that they have lost over US$1,000 due to not having travel insurance. While for the average Chinese traveler specifically, they put this figure at over $2,500 per person.

Travelers want to embrace virtual reality and artificial intelligence.  82% of business travelers and 66% of leisure travelers said they would like to explore a destination before arrival with a virtual tour. Among Indian travelers, 85% would like to access to virtual reality to explore a destination ahead of their visit​. Half of all travelers said they would now turn to AI to tell them about the best places for dinner at their destination. 18% of travelers said they would even ask an AI assistant to write a review on their behalf about a hotel or dinner they had experienced on their trip.

Commenting on the findings, Francisco Pérez-Lozao Rüter, President, Hospitality, Amadeus, says: “From the moment travelers begin thinking about their trip to the time they return home, our mission is to empower the industry to be able to provide exceptional experiences at every step of the journey.

“Projects of this kind show how diverse people’s needs are, depending on key factors such as the purpose of their trip, their age or where they are from. By combining this knowledge with innovative new technology, hoteliers, destinations, mobility and travel protection, providers have real opportunities to drive profitable demand, create personalized trips for guests and connect the dots across the end-to-end experience for people. Working in lockstep with our customers, together we are transforming travel.

Methodology

 Findings for Travel Dreams are based on input from 6,000 travelers around the world. Collaborating with Opinium Research, researchers questioned a combination of business and leisure travelers in six key markets – USA, China, Germany, UK, France and India – to deepen understanding of the end-to-end travel experience.

To deliver an industry perspective on the key topics covered in the report, interviews were conducted with executives from Amadeus, Flemings Hotels, Lexis Hotels, The Trans Hotel Group, Marcus Hotels, Geronimo Hospitality Group, Core Hospitality, Hegg Companies, Europcar, ProColombia and AXA Partners.

Step Into ‘Myths & Memories’—Dhoomimal Art Centre’s Latest Artistic Voyage

27th March 2025: Dhoomimal Art Centre, one of India’s first private gallery, announces its upcoming exhibition, Myths and Memories, a compelling showcase featuring the works of Tanushree Chakraborty and Shahid Parvez. Exploring the intersection of traditional folk influencers and contemporary artistic expression, the 6-day exhibition opens to the public on April 12 at LTC, Bikaner House, and will be accessible till April 17. During this period, it aims to offer a striking visual dialogue between two distinct yet complementary styles as it beautifully merges the artistic sensibilities of the East and West.

Established in 1936, the Art Centre presents pieces from Tanushree Chakraborty that draw inspiration from the rich heritage of the Santhal Tribe in Bengal, while Shahid Parvez brings to life the tribal and folk arts of Rajasthan. This has been achieved by employing intricate layering and detailing techniques that weave their life stories into their canvases to create works of profound depth and meaning.

speaking on the collection, Shahid Parvez mentioned, “I am truly delighted to present our two-person artwork display, as it holds a special significance for me. Dhoomimal Art Centre has been an integral part of my artistic journey, providing a platform that has nurtured and supported my growth over the years. This showcase is not just an exhibition but a reflection of the creative dialogue and shared vision that has shaped my work. I am excited for art enthusiasts to experience this collection, which brings together distinct yet harmonious artistic expressions.”

Shahid’s works are playful and uninhibited. His layers are not of history but of memories, age, and experience, approached with a child’s imagination—boundless and free. He paints without a fixed plan, allowing the canvas to guide him. His works celebrate spontaneity and joy, revealing the unseen layers that shape human existence. While his themes may seem lighthearted, they hold depth—his use of mixed media, textures, and colours mirrors the complexity of life itself. His art invites us to shed our intellectual masks and approach them with innocence, tapping into the child within us.

In contrast, Tanushree’s work is rooted in history and myth, deeply influenced by her childhood immersed in the stories of the Santhal tribe. She draws inspiration from the Santhal body art tradition, Ulki, where tattoos preserve ancestral history on the skin. Similarly, her canvases become vessels of intricate detailing and mythological storytelling. The concept of Atrinjita—where human history unfolds in grand, exaggerated gestures—runs through her work. She seamlessly blends the traditional with the contemporary, reimagining gods and myths in present-day settings, bridging past and present.

Further commenting on this showcase, Tanushree Chakraborty said, “I believe art is a reflection of an artist’s imagination and aspirations. For me, the ability to give meaning to a line through art brings immense joy and fulfilment. I am deeply grateful to Dhoomimal Art Centre for providing a space that nurtures my creativity, and I look forward to sharing that same sense of freedom and joy with others through my art.”

Elaborating on the exhibit, Mohit Jain, Director of Dhoomimal Art Centre said, “At Dhoomimal Art Centre, we celebrate art that blends cultural roots with personal expression. This exhibition does just that as both artists draw inspiration from Indian folk traditions, yet their approaches contrast beautifully. We look forward to sharing this unique showcase with our audiences.”

What makes Myths & Memories especially compelling is how these two artists, drawing from similar sources of inspiration, have arrived at strikingly different visual languages. While Tanushree transforms the human body into a narrative vessel, Shahid weaves childhood wonder into sophisticated, layered compositions. Their works, together, create a dialogue between tradition and contemporary practice, past and present, myth and reality.
