A Hidden Wooden Cottage Resort Near Awas Beach

Privy Stays Saffronshore Wood Resort is a boutique cottage resort in Awas, Alibaug, set just 250 metres from Awas Beach. Hidden within a lush, dense tropical garden, the resort offers something rare on the Alibaug coast — a wooden-cabin stay surrounded by nature on every side.

Here, mornings begin with birdsong and forest air, afternoons are spent by the pool and evenings wind down with a short walk to the beach. It is a peaceful, couple-friendly retreat that feels far from the city, yet sits only a short drive from Mandwa Jetty.

Five Private Wooden Cottages

The resort is intentionally small, with just five private wooden cottages, each looking out over greenery and the pool. Four cottages are on the ground floor, while the fifth sits above one of them with its own separate staircase — a favourite for guests who enjoy a little extra privacy.

Every cottage is designed for a comfortable, easy stay and includes:

• Air conditioning to keep the cottage cool through the coastal afternoons.
• A double bed with fresh linen, towels and pillows.
• An attached private bathroom with hot water and toiletries.
• Greenery and pool views from every cottage.
• Wi-Fi and daily housekeeping throughout your stay.

Each cottage can host up to 3 guests (the third guest is charged extra), making Saffronshore well suited to couples, friends travelling together and small families. With all five cottages, the resort is also ideal for small groups who want a shared getaway while still having their own private space.

A Pool Set in a Tropical Garden

At the centre of the resort is a swimming pool framed by tall trees, landscaped gardens and sun loungers. Outdoor seating and a dining area make it easy to spend the day outside — a lazy breakfast in the garden, a swim before lunch and a quiet evening under the trees.

Pool timings are 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM, and the resort observes quiet hours to protect the calm that makes it special.

Freshly Cooked In-House Food

Saffronshore serves freshly cooked in-house food, prepared to order. The kitchen is open from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM and from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM, and each order takes around 40–45 minutes to prepare. Privy Stays can also arrange curated experiences on request:

• Floating Breakfast: A styled breakfast served in the pool.
• Stargazing Barbecue: An open-air barbecue dinner under the night sky.
• Traditional Konkani Popti: A slow-cooked coastal speciality.
• Bonfire Evenings: Cosy evenings in the garden for couples and groups.
