Umber Villa , listed and managed on StayVista , is a five-bedroom luxury villa in Alibaug, Maharashtra, that explicitly welcomes trained dogs and cats with a confirmed two-pet limit per booking. Set in the quiet village of Satirje near Alibaug town, the property sits 6.6 km from Kihim Beach and 8 km from Awas Beach, giving you a genuinely green, low-traffic base from which to explore the Konkan coast with your pets. The villa's private grounds, open lawn, and 20×40 ft swimming pool make it one of the more spacious pet-friendly stays available in the Alibaug region.
✓ Verified by the Pet Friendly Places team
The pet policy is confirmed directly from the Umber Villa official website (umbervilla.com): "Trained dogs are allowed, with a maximum of 2 pets at an additional charge." The property is also listed as Pet Friendly in its own amenities section. Pet charges apply but the exact amount is not published , confirm the current fee at the time of booking directly with the property or through StayVista.
The Villa , Space, Pool, and Grounds
Umber Villa takes its name from the Umber Tree, known for its rare bloom, and the property carries that sense of unhurried natural luxury throughout. The villa sleeps up to 10 guests across five spacious bedrooms, each fitted with king-sized beds, en-suite bathrooms, air-conditioning, and complimentary WiFi , so the whole family, human and four-legged, has room to spread out. The open lawn surrounding the villa gives dogs meaningful space to roam without immediately being tethered to a lead. The centrepiece is the private swimming pool , a generous 20×40 ft in size and 4.5 ft deep, with an attached gazebo, bar, and pool deck with loungers. Pool access runs until 11:30 pm. Whether your dog is a keen swimmer who needs no invitation or one who simply enjoys watching you splash around from the lawn, this setup genuinely works. Note: the pool depth (4.5 ft) means dogs entering the pool must be confident swimmers , do not leave pets unattended near the pool edge.
Pet Policy , What's Confirmed and What to Verify
Trained dogs and cats are allowed at Umber Villa, with a maximum of two pets per booking. An additional pet charge applies, though the specific amount is not published on either the umbervilla.com website or the StayVista listing , always confirm the current pet surcharge before finalising your booking. The term "trained" is used by the property but not defined further; in practice, this typically means dogs that are house-trained and manageable in a shared villa environment. If you are booking for a larger group with pets, flag this at the time of reservation to avoid any ambiguity at check-in. There is no publicly stated breed restriction or weight limit, which makes this a realistic option for large dog breeds , something that many Alibaug properties do not accommodate. Cats are also listed as welcome, which is uncommon for villa stays in this region.
Amenities and Surroundings
Beyond the pool and lawn, the villa is stocked with a strong amenity list: BBQ setup, billiards table, indoor and outdoor games, music system, refrigerator, water purifier, bathtubs, geysers, balconies and terraces, extra mattresses, and driver and staff accommodation on-site. Meals , vegetarian, non-vegetarian, Jain on request, and BBQ kits , are available at an additional cost with 48 hours' advance notice; note that food delivery platforms like Swiggy and Zomato do not operate in this part of Alibaug, so arranging meals through the villa itself is the most practical option for longer stays. The property is located 2 km from Chaundi Market, 60 km from Panvel Railway Station, and approximately 105 km from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport in Mumbai. The Mandwa Jetty , the most popular ferry crossing from Mumbai , is 11.1 km away, making the villa accessible both by road via Pune or Panvel and by ferry for those coming from South Mumbai. Arriving by ferry with your dog in tow is genuinely one of the better ways to begin a Konkan weekend.
⚠️ Pool Safety , Keep an Eye on Your Pets
The private pool is 4.5 ft deep throughout. Dogs that are not confident swimmers should be kept on lead near the pool area, as there are no shallow entry steps referenced for animals. Supervise pets near the pool at all times, particularly in the evening , pool access is available until 11:30 pm and the deck area is open and unfenced.
Getting There
Umber Villa is located at Katalpada, Ahead of Ganpati Hanuman Mandir, Satirje, Alibaug, Maharashtra 402201. The most common route from Mumbai by road is via the Mumbai-Pune Expressway to Panvel and then NH66 south to Alibaug , approximately 95–110 km depending on your starting point, making this a comfortable weekend drive with dogs. Alternatively, take the Ro-Ro ferry or passenger ferry from Gateway of India or Bhaucha Dhakka to Mandwa Jetty (11.1 km from the villa). If arriving by train, Panvel Railway Station is 60 km away and taxis are available. Parking is available at the property.
