amã Stays & Trails The Mango House, Alibag

As one steps through the gates of  The Mango House, Alibag, it takes a moment to look past the trees and find the bungalow, standing inconspicuously, like a natural extension of the verdant surround. The tree-shaded extensions and the presence of shrubs through the bungalow stand testimony to how lovingly the original inhabitants of the site, the Mango trees, were treated as the bungalow grew around them. The smart yet modest architecture that uses a palette of natural and tactile materials including brick, stone and wood to complement its lush natural setting, has won the bungalow several awards and accolades. When here, guests can experience a rich sense of culture and tradition unique to the region, while at the same time connect with nature in its pristine form.
