Day 1: Ferry Cruise, Beach Sunsets & Poolside BBQ
Start your weekend at Bhaucha Dhakka (Ferry Wharf) in South Mumbai. Drive your car directly onto the M2M Ro-Pax vessel. Grab coffee on the open upper deck as the Mumbai skyline fades away. By 09:30 AM, you dock at Mandwa Jetty.
A breezy 15-minute drive brings you to Golden Leaf Villa. Refresh in your air-conditioned suites and take a plunge in the crystal-clear private pool while our chef prepares a welcome lunch featuring Surmai Rawa Fry, Kolambi Curry, and soothing Solkadhi.
At 04:00 PM, head to Varsoli Beach for jet skiing and sunset views. Return to the villa for evening hi-tea, garden games, and a live sizzling BBQ dinner under the pergola.
Day 2: Historic Sea Fort Walk & Coastal Cuisine
Wake up to birdsong and enjoy a hearty breakfast of warm Poha, Masala Omelettes, and hot filter chai. At 09:30 AM, head to Kolaba Fort during low tide—you can walk across the wet sands or take a traditional horse cart directly into the fort's ancient stone bastions.
Return to Golden Leaf Villa for a relaxing swim and farewell coastal lunch. Check out at 02:30 PM for a leisurely drive to Mandwa Pier for your return ferry to Mumbai.
