Leaving your dog behind is often the hardest part of planning a weekend away. The good news: if you're heading to Alibag, you don't have to. The Coastal Heritage — a Bali-style boutique beachfront resort in Revdanda, about 100–110 km from Mumbai — welcomes pets free of charge, with prior confirmation. Here's everything you need to know about planning a pet-friendly stay, from booking to beach time.
Is The Coastal Heritage pet-friendly?
Yes. Pets are welcome at The Coastal Heritage with prior confirmation, and there is no extra charge for bringing your pet. Simply tell the team about your pet when you enquire, and they will confirm availability and make the right arrangements before you arrive.
That one step matters. Letting the resort know in advance means the team can suggest the most suitable room for you and your pet, so check-in is smooth for everyone.
Why Alibag is a great getaway with your dog
Alibag is one of the easiest coastal escapes from Mumbai for pet parents. Most families drive down, which means your dog travels in the comfort of your own car rather than on public transport. The road trip via the Mumbai–Goa Highway (NH 66) usually takes 2.5–4 hours depending on traffic, with plenty of places to stop for a stretch and a water break.
Once you arrive, the pace slows right down. Revdanda is a quieter corner of the Alibag coastline, known for its long beach and the historic Agarkot (Revdanda) Fort — a calmer setting than the busier beaches closer to Alibag town, and far better suited to a relaxed walk with your dog.
Why Revdanda and The Coastal Heritage work for pet parents
The resort is set among lush tropical gardens with green pathways between the rooms — a welcome change of scene for a city dog. All five room categories are designed with natural elements, spacious interiors and private sit-outs, so you can enjoy your morning tea outdoors with your pet beside you.
Couples travelling with a small dog often choose the Private Pool Room for its privacy, while families can spread out in the Family Suite, which sleeps four with two king-size beds. When you enquire, mention your pet's size and the team will recommend the best fit.
How to book a pet-friendly stay
Booking takes just a few minutes:
• Message or call the team on WhatsApp at +91 70661 21818 (9 AM – 9 PM daily), or send an enquiry through the website.
• Mention your pet — the type, breed and approximate size.
• Share your dates and preferred room category.
• Wait for confirmation — the team typically responds within 24 hours with availability and booking details.
Weekends and long weekends fill up quickly in Alibag, so it pays to book early, especially for peak-season dates.
What to pack for your pet
A little preparation makes the trip far more relaxing:
• Leash, collar and ID tag with your phone number
• Your pet's own bed or mat, so the room feels familiar
• Food for the whole stay, plus bowls for food and water
• Up-to-date vaccination records
• Waste bags and an old towel for sandy, wet paws
• Any regular medication, plus tick and flea protection
• A favourite toy to help them settle in
Beach tips for dogs in Alibag
Beach walks are the highlight of a coastal trip with your dog. Keep them safe and comfortable with a few simple habits:
• Go early or late. Mornings and evenings are cooler; midday sand can get hot on paws.
• Carry fresh water. Dogs shouldn't drink seawater, and they dehydrate quickly in the heat.
• Rinse after the beach. Wash off salt and sand to protect their skin and coat.
• Keep them on a leash around other visitors, fishing boats and local livestock.
• Respect the monsoon. Between June and September the sea can be rough — enjoy the green landscape and keep beach time short.
