The Coast, One Outing at a Time

Malvan Beach
At a walkable distance
The shoreline is close enough for an easy outing, whether you prefer an early walk or a relaxed evening by the sea. Fishing boats, coconut palms, and the unhurried pace of the coast give it a distinctly local character.

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Statue
At a walkable distance
A short walk takes you to Rajkot Fort, where a statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj stands overlooking Malvan's coastline. The fort sits by the sea, offering a glimpse into the area's maritime history and coastal setting.

Sindhudurg Fort
Jetti about 2 to 3 km, then a 10 to 15 minute ferry
Standing on an island just off the coast, the fort is reached by boat from the nearby jetti. Allow some time for the crossing, as boat services can vary with sea and weather conditions.

Rock Garden
About 2 km

Sunset Point
About 2 km
As evening approaches, the coastline becomes a natural place to pause and watch the light change. Head out a little before sunset, giving yourself time to settle in before the sky begins to turn gold.
