Where to stay
Nariman Point
THE VIBE
Set in the heart of the city’s central business district at the end of iconic Marine Drive, The Oberoi, Mumbai boasts some of the best skyline and sea views. Choose whether you’d prefer to be oceanside or look out at the Queen’s Necklace (as Marine Drive is colloquially known, thanks to the city lights lining the waterfront). During the day, walk or jog along its palm-lined promenade.
Where to stay
Juhu
THE VIBE
Up the coastline, Juhu Chowpatty Beach has long served as a lively social center, where you can pick up a snack from one of the area’s famous street vendors and settle in to watch the cricket players, or just watch the sun set over the Arabian Sea. The area has become even more of a hot spot with Soho House opening in 2018 and other venues setting up. A stay at Novotel Mumbai, Juhu will place you in the heart of the stylish beach scene.
