Ring in the New Year with intimate villa stays across Maharashtra, offering beaches, forests and countryside escapes by Westbay.
New Year getaways Maharashtra
As travellers move away from overcrowded hotel parties, New Year celebrations are becoming more intimate, experience-led and personal. Maharashtra, with easy access from Mumbai and Pune and a wide range of landscapes, is emerging as a preferred year-end destination, offering beaches, forests, hill stations and countryside retreats at great value.
Villas by Westbay offers three New Year experiences across the state, each suited to a different travel preference.

Easily accessible via Mandwa Jetty, the property is suitable for families and small groups, is pet- and elderly-friendly, and offers a 15 percent benefit for Armed Forces personnel.
2. Vankothi, Amba Ghat: A Quiet Reset in the Wilderness
