Book this if You want a serene, eco-luxury escape in Mumbai's suburbs that feels like a mangrove forest retreat rather than a city hotel.
Why People Love It
- Stunning floor-to-ceiling views of the Vikhroli mangroves
- The 46-meter infinity pool that feels like it floats in the forest
- Industrial-chic design that pays homage to the site's Godrej factory legacy
Quick Take: A gorgeous sanctuary that's perfect for business in Powai or a staycation, but a traffic-filled nightmare if you're trying to sightsee in South Mumbai.
Reviewed by @gladysoutandabout: I couldn't believe how quiet it was here. The mangrove views from my bed were insane for Mumbai. My kids lived in the pool, and the buffet spread was endless. It’s the perfect spot if you need a break from the city chaos without actually leaving town.
