9BHK Gatsby House
The Gatsby House is named so owing to its decadent, larger-than-life feel that was written about in the novel, The Great Gatsby. This is one holiday home that you'd certainly…
There is one nine-bedroom villa in Alibaug: the 9BHK Gatsby House, from around ₹58,000 a night, set on eleven acres with a 37 ft pool, a billiards room, a games room and a twenty-seater dining table. It is cheaper than the eight-bedroom house on this coast despite having one more bedroom. Rated 4.8 from verified guest stays.

Nine bedrooms in Alibaug is one house. The 9BHK Gatsby House sits on eleven acres, which is the thing that separates it from every other large villa on this coast — most are a house with a garden, and this is a house with an estate around it.
Nine air-conditioned bedrooms, all with balconies and double beds, with extra mattresses available on request. There are nine private bathrooms plus two common ones, and one has a jacuzzi.
The pool is 37 ft by 22 ft and 4 ft deep. The grounds run to eleven acres and include an artificial pond — which is ornamental; swimming in it is not allowed. Indoors there is a games room with table tennis, foosball and carrom, separate billiards and snooker tables, a twenty-seater dining table, a bar, and a conference room available on prior approval.
It is pet-friendly. Parking is secured for five cars. Rated 4.8.
At around ₹58,000 it is roughly ₹16,500 a night cheaper than Amara Villa with one bedroom more. The two are different propositions — Amara has two pools, forty-eight hours of generator backup and parking for ten — but if the land and the games rooms matter more to you than those, this is the better-value house.
Space is the thing you cannot add to a villa later. For a group that wants to spread out, walk, or run a programme outdoors without being on top of each other, this is the largest plot at any size on this coast.
Billiards, snooker, a games room, a twenty-seater dining table and a conference room is an unusual combination. It makes the house work for a company offsite or a long weekend where nobody particularly wants to drive to a beach every day.
The pool is inside the property and yours alone, with no shared access and no slot to book. We have not taken on a property without a private pool since 2017.
We would rather you knew all five before booking than discovered them on arrival.
The listing shows up to eighteen, while the living room fits thirty to thirty-five and the crockery is set for thirty-six — so the house was clearly built to entertain more people than sleep in it. That is a useful distinction: it comfortably hosts a daytime gathering larger than its sleeping capacity. Tell us both numbers — how many are staying and how many are coming — and we will confirm what is allowed, since guest counts must not exceed what is booked.
Around ₹58,000 a night. There is one house at this size, so what moves the price is the calendar rather than the property.

Starting rates, excluding taxes. Weekend, long-weekend and festival dates are priced higher. Send us your dates for an exact quote.
Mid-December to early January is the peak and goes three to four months ahead at this size.
They are the same eleven-acre property in two configurations. The 12BHK Gatsby House is around ₹77,000 and takes up to thirty-eight guests; this one is around ₹58,000. If your group fits in nine bedrooms, book this; if it does not, take the twelve rather than two separate villas. Same pool, same grounds, same games rooms.
| Route | How it works | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Ferry to Mandwa | From the Gateway of India or Bhaucha Dhakka, roughly an hour, then a drive | Guests travelling light |
| Road via the Atal Setu | Roughly 100 km, two to two and a half hours | A group arriving together — but parking is only for five cars |
| Road via Panvel | The older route, around three hours | Travelling from Navi Mumbai or Pune |
Ferries are suspended in rough weather through the monsoon, so between June and September plan on the road. Send the location pin to every driver rather than the villa name.
| Season | Months | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| Peak | Mid-December to early January | The best weather and the highest rates. Book three to four months ahead |
| High | October–February | Dry, mild, the sea at its calmest. The season for large groups |
| Shoulder | March–May | Hot and humid. The lowest rates, and the indoor games rooms earn their keep |
| Monsoon | June–September | Green and cheap. The sea closes and ferries are disrupted, but eleven acres in the rain is a sight |
Meal packages are available, cooked on site and charged per person per day separately from the tariff, with a reduced rate for children, covering breakfast, lunch, high tea and dinner. Jain and vegan options are available on request. Orders need 72 hours' notice with payment 48 hours before check-in, so agree the menu and headcount well before you arrive.
Around 58,000 rupees. There is one house at this size, the 9BHK Gatsby House, so there is no range to quote. It is about 16,500 rupees a night cheaper than the eight-bedroom house on this coast, despite having one more bedroom. Meals are charged separately.
One, the 9BHK Gatsby House. Nine bedrooms is a narrow size on this coast and we would rather say so than pad the page.
The listing shows up to eighteen sleeping, while the living room fits thirty to thirty-five and the crockery is set for thirty-six. The house was built to entertain more people than sleep in it. Tell us both numbers — how many are staying and how many are coming — and we will confirm what is allowed, since guest counts must not exceed what is booked.
Eleven acres, which is the largest plot we have at any size in Alibaug. Most large villas here are a house with a garden; this is a house with an estate around it.
No. The outdoor jacuzzi next to the pool is not working. The two indoor jacuzzis are fine, and one bathroom has one. The owner discloses this and so do we — do not book expecting the poolside one.
No. The artificial pond is ornamental and swimming in it is not allowed. The pool is 37 ft by 22 ft and 4 ft deep, and that is where you swim.
A games room with table tennis, foosball and carrom, separate billiards and snooker tables, a bar, a twenty-seater dining table, and a conference room available on prior approval. It is an unusual combination and makes the house work for an offsite or a long weekend where nobody wants to drive out every day.
The geysers are solar, so the temperature can fluctuate, particularly on an overcast morning. Worth knowing if you have a houseful of guests all showering at once.
It is subject to network availability, so treat it as a convenience rather than a guarantee. If you need a working connection for a day of video calls, tell us before you book.
Yes. Tell us when you book so the owner knows.
Secured parking for five cars, which is modest for a house this size. Plan the car count before you travel.

The 12BHK is around 77,000 rupees and takes up to thirty-eight guests; this one is around 58,000. If your group fits in nine bedrooms, book this one.

Gatsby is cheaper with one more bedroom, and has the eleven acres, the billiards and the games rooms. Amara has two pools including one for children, forty-eight hours of generator backup and parking for ten cars. Compare them on what your group actually needs rather than on the bedroom count.

No. This is a whole-villa booking. The house, the grounds and the pool are yours alone for the length of your stay.
The ferry from the Gateway of India or Bhaucha Dhakka to Mandwa takes about an hour, then a drive. By road via the Atal Setu it is roughly 100 km and two to two and a half hours. Ferries are suspended in rough weather through the monsoon, so between June and September plan on the road.
Three to four months for Christmas and New Year. With one house at this size there is no second option at nine bedrooms on this coast, though the 12BHK configuration of the same estate is a fallback.
