Ekan By The Sea is not simply a holiday home-it is a vantage point over the coastal landscape. Perched on a hill near Korlai, the villa in Alibaug looks out toward endless sea views while still being wrapped in greenery and gentle hillside contours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The name Ekan translates to \u201cunique,\u201d and the property lives up to it through thoughtful design, spacious living, and a setting that naturally slows the pace of a getaway.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This four-bedroom villa in Alibaug by StayVista is designed for small groups who want the privacy of a home with the comforts of a curated stay. From sea-facing balconies and a private pool to colour-themed bedrooms and cosy indoor spaces, the villa encourages guests to spend time together-over long conversations, unhurried meals, and quiet moments overlooking the horizon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_80 ez-toc-wrap-left counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-custom ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div

The Sea apart is its location. The villa in Alibaug sits on an elevated patch of land near Korlai Beach, allowing sweeping views of both the surrounding hills and the Arabian Sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This hillside setting gives the property a layered sense of space. The sea is never far from sight, yet the villa feels comfortably removed from the bustle often associated with beach destinations. Instead, there is a sense of calm that comes from being slightly above the coastline\u2014close enough to hear the sea breeze, far enough to enjoy uninterrupted quiet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The architecture reflects this relationship with nature. The villa\u2019s Bali-inspired exterior design brings together natural textures, open spaces, and relaxed coastal aesthetics.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of imposing itself on the landscape, the structure blends into it. Earthy tones, landscaped surroundings, and open terraces allow the outdoors to become part of the experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For guests arriving from Mumbai or Pune, the contrast is immediate. Within a few hours, the urban skyline gives way to coconut trees, coastal villages, and finally the hilltop vantage point that Ekan calls home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"living-spaces-designed-for-shared-moments\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Living_Spaces_Designed_for_Shared_Moments\"><\/span>Living Spaces Designed for Shared Moments<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ekan-by-the-sea-828411-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-36290\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ekan-by-the-sea-828411-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ekan-by-the-sea-828411-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ekan-by-the-sea-828411-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ekan-by-the-sea-828411-370x247.webp 370w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ekan-by-the-sea-828411-770x513.webp 770w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ekan-by-the-sea-828411-150x100.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ekan-by-the-sea-828411.webp 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Inside the villa, the atmosphere shifts from expansive outdoor views to welcoming interiors. The living room is designed as the central gathering space\u2014a place where conversations stretch late into the evening and afternoons drift by without a schedule.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Soft seating arrangements, a television, Wi-Fi connectivity, and a sound system make the space versatile for both relaxation and entertainment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adjacent to the living room sits a dedicated dining area, where meals become one of the highlights of the stay. Whether guests are enjoying breakfast with sunlight streaming in or dinner after a day at the beach, the layout encourages everyone to come together around the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The interiors lean towards warm, earthy aesthetics rather than ornate luxury. It is a space that feels comfortable rather than formal\u2014exactly what a group getaway needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"four-bedrooms-four-personal-spaces\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Four_Bedrooms_Four_Personal_Spaces\"><\/span>Four Bedrooms, Four Personal Spaces<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"36298\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ekan-by-the-sea-735863-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-36298\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ekan-by-the-sea-735863-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ekan-by-the-sea-735863-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ekan-by-the-sea-735863-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ekan-by-the-sea-735863-370x247.webp 370w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ekan-by-the-sea-735863-770x513.webp 770w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ekan-by-the-sea-735863-150x100.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ekan-by-the-sea-735863.webp 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"36295\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ekan-by-the-sea-3a0b09-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-36295\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ekan-by-the-sea-3a0b09-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ekan-by-the-sea-3a0b09-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ekan-by-the-sea-3a0b09-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ekan-by-the-sea-3a0b09-370x247.webp 370w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ekan-by-the-sea-3a0b09-770x513.webp 770w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ekan-by-the-sea-3a0b09-150x100.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ekan-by-the-sea-3a0b09.webp 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"36297\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ekan-by-the-sea-2fe408-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-36297\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ekan-by-the-sea-2fe408-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ekan-by-the-sea-2fe408-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ekan-by-the-sea-2fe408-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ekan-by-the-sea-2fe408-370x247.webp 370w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ekan-by-the-sea-2fe408-770x513.webp 770w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ekan-by-the-sea-2fe408-150x100.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ekan-by-the-sea-2fe408.webp 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The villa in Alibaug features four bedrooms with attached bathrooms, designed to give each guest their own sense of privacy while still being part of the group experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each bedroom follows a colour-themed design, giving every room a slightly different personality while maintaining visual harmony across the villa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The configuration includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>One bedroom on the ground floor with a queen-size bed<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Three bedrooms on the first floor with king-size beds<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Attached bathrooms in all rooms<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Air-conditioning and Wi-Fi connectivity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Private balconies for the upstairs rooms overlooking the landscape<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These balconies are particularly memorable.

That privacy changes the rhythm of the day\u2014no schedules, no rush, just the freedom to enjoy the water whenever the mood strikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"landscaped-outdoor-spaces\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Landscaped_Outdoor_Spaces\"><\/span>Landscaped Outdoor Spaces<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"36302\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ekan-by-the-sea-b5a1f9-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-36302\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ekan-by-the-sea-b5a1f9-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ekan-by-the-sea-b5a1f9-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ekan-by-the-sea-b5a1f9-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ekan-by-the-sea-b5a1f9-370x247.webp 370w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ekan-by-the-sea-b5a1f9-770x513.webp 770w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ekan-by-the-sea-b5a1f9-150x100.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ekan-by-the-sea-b5a1f9.webp 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"36304\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ekan-by-the-sea-6b43e8-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-36304\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ekan-by-the-sea-6b43e8-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ekan-by-the-sea-6b43e8-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ekan-by-the-sea-6b43e8-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ekan-by-the-sea-6b43e8-370x247.webp 370w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ekan-by-the-sea-6b43e8-770x513.webp 770w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ekan-by-the-sea-6b43e8-150x100.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ekan-by-the-sea-6b43e8.webp 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond the pool, the villa\u2019s landscaped surroundings add another layer to the experience.

The villa also features a terrace that offers expansive views of the sea and hills, making it a natural gathering spot for sunset watching or stargazing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By night, the atmosphere changes entirely.
