Souzagad promises a sweet little getaway by the Ulhas river, amidst 120 acres of mango plantations. The erstwhile family holiday property is open to guests looking for an escape from Mumbai’s always on culture, and has two exclusive villas to rent out. The property is luxuriously appointed — there’s a riverside bar, a stocked kitchen and library, and a games area — but even so, you’d feel the pull of nature at all times.
