Samira Pavilions: A high end projects of 187 villas at Alibag near Mumbai

Alibag is a dream destination for the city it’s closest to — Mumbai. 

Ten minutes in a speed boat and you can hear birds instead of
speeding cars honking, long branches of old banyan trees sweep
the roads to welcome you to the idyllic, verdant world of Alibag.

A place, which has been attracting some very high-end real estate
development over the last few years. In fact, Alibag is fast becoming
the most fashionable address to have closest to Mumbai, since Goa
is more than a few hundred nautical miles away.

Samira Pavilions is one of these very high end projects of 187 villas,
with seven villas being designed by none other than Kolkata designer
Sabyasachi Mukherjee, two of which will be ready in Phase I, which
comprises 56 villas and the clubhouse and aims to be ready by December 2010.

The buyer who chooses to go for Sabyasachi’s design has the option of sitting
with him and designing along side with his preferences included, says
Mihir Nerurkar, executive director (projects) — Samira Habitats.

“It takes a lot to develop a project that is out of this world. We have
been trying to do that at Samira Habitats over the years,” says the young
ED whose company is investing close to Rs 200 crore in the project.

The villas come in options of a 2BHK of around 2,000 sq ft and 3BHK
of around 3,000 sq ft super built up area, both of which includes private
gardens and deck areas as well. Apart from elegant internal courtyards,
water bodies and external open decks, Samira Pavilions will offer ample
space to lounge in the project. The state-of-the-art club house and lavish
spa will only add to the luxury and opulence of this project, coupled by
the allure of a very popular location like Alibag.

At a price range of Rs 90 lakh and going up to Rs 5 crore, 
the target audience is naturally, the CEO, MNC heads and the HNIs.

This is where the young Nerurkar is confident of the response to
the project. With 50% of his Phase I sold, he is sure that with project
partners like Knight Frank with their global reach and expertise
“will add much value to our fine living project.”

As for the logistics, Knight Frank handle both marketing and management
for the elegant duplex villas project. The project has a speed boat service and
also includes clubhouse, luxurious spa and various other amenities for its residents.
The last mile connect is really the key to the project as by introducing convenient
speed boat services, this project will be the first of its kind to bridge distances
by tapping the waterways and presenting a new dimension to lifestyle living.

In fact, a home in Alibag maybe closer from the heart of Mumbai than most suburbs!
