Staying in Murud

Murud keeps a low-key, local feel: fishing boats still work from the shore, the seafood is fresh and simple, and the beach rarely feels crowded even though the town is a popular weekend getaway from Mumbai and Pune. Visitors come for Janjira Fort, for the calm stretch of sand, and for the slow coastal pace, with Kashid and Alibaug within easy reach by road.

The hotels on this shortlist sit both in the town and in the villages around it. Ocean front is on Beach Rd in Murud itself, 0.4 km from the centre, while Arecapalm Murud is at Sabnis Ali entrance, 1.0 km away. Aqua Arina Holiday Farm House lies at Village Vihoor, 3.5 km out. Further afield are Casa Del Mer and Saffronstays Sunglade on Revdanda Murud Road, Saffronstays Alma Grove at Sarve Village, SaffronStays La Casa Maestro on Revdanda Murud Road, Forest Hills at Tala at Village Taraste, Aranya Phansad Resort near Phansad, and Shivansh Cottage and Soham Beach Resort Diveagar towards Diveagar. All are 4-star, so the choice is mostly about setting and facilities rather than comfort level.
