Apr 30: Alibaug has always had a special kind of summer magic, and Soulinaire has quickly become the heart of that experience. Situated right on the Mandwa boardwalk, this flagship destination by IHCL is a stunning, two-storey retreat designed for those looking to swap the city’s hustle for sea breezes and poolside lounging. It’s a space that invites you to slow down, offering a front-row seat to the ocean that makes you want to stay just a little bit longer.
The space itself is built for easy, coastal living. You can spend your afternoon downstairs by the circular bar and indoor pool, or head up to the deck for a long lunch with uninterrupted views of the water. Every corner feels intentional yet relaxed, blending the polished soul of the Taj with the kind of barefoot luxury that Alibaug is famous for. It’s the perfect sanctuary to retreat to after a day in the sun, perhaps ending on a sweet note with the Mellow Mango Pista or the refreshing Chilli Guava or Jamun sorbets, or for a quiet moment before heading back to Mumbai.
At its heart, Soulinaire is about great food shared in good company. The menu is a thoughtful mix of global favourites and fresh local flavours, all served with the warmth and care you’d expect from India’s finest hospitality. Whether it’s a sun-drenched breakfast or a slow sunset dinner, it’s a place that encourages you to disconnect from the world and simply enjoy the moment.
