Ahilya by the Sea

Everything we do is custom made by real Asia experts...

The most boutique of boutiques’ is how Selective Asia’s Karl described this hotel after a 3-night stay with his family. It’s a beautiful property, with just a handful of rooms spread over three elegant Balinese and Goan fusion-style villas. Sister to the well-known Ahilya Fort in Maheshwar, it has the same high standards and depth of character which always get the high-end travel press waxing lyrical. Originally home to an eminent local family, it made its transition to bohemian seaside retreat in 2015 and has, along with the more established Ahilya Fort, become a destination of choice among the jetset.

It’s a place of rest and luxury overlooking a working fishing beach, and you can spend hours watching the various comings and goings throughout the day. The 3 villas each have their own character, with delightful common areas packed full of antiques and works of art, and huge guest rooms that are all totally individual. Though you can’t really swim in the sea from here, there’s plenty of opportunity to make use of the gorgeous infinity pool instead
