MakeMyTrip is India's leading travel aggregator, but booking private villas through large OTAs often leads to unbundled meal bills, rigid cancellation bots, and steep convenience fees. Discover the direct host advantage.
MakeMyTrip is great for booking flight tickets and standard business hotel chains across India. However, when booking large group villas in Alibaug or Karjat, OTAs function as remote intermediaries. Guests often face checkout convenience fees, lack of real-time dietary customization (such as separate Jain cookware or coastal seafood sourcing), and robotic customer care queues.
Booking directly with Avenor Luxury Villas bridges the gap between premium hospitality and transparent pricing. Guests receive personal pre-arrival coordination with host Ruturaj Mhatre, live ferry timetable updates for M2M Ro-Pax to Mandwa, customized 4-meal daily menus, and zero hidden platform surcharges.

We believe in transparent, honest travel planning. Here is how to decide which option best matches your group needs.
MakeMyTrip listings typically quote room-only nightly rentals with additional convenience charges and separate food billing. Avenor provides an all-inclusive model from ₹2,500/guest that covers luxury accommodation, private pool access, and all 4 gourmet meals.
OTAs cannot facilitate direct kitchen coordination prior to booking. With Avenor direct booking, our private chefs customize fresh catches (Surmai, Pomfret, Prawns) and prepare pure Jain meals using strictly separate cookware upon WhatsApp request.
MakeMyTrip has rigid automated guest tiers that charge steep extra-person fees. With Avenor, our flexible per-head tariff easily accommodates group adjustments with direct host communication.
