Your Destinations —
Previously known as Bombay, Mumbai is the commercial capital of India and is a bustling, loud, energetic city of entrepreneurs, colonial architecture, debaucherous nightlife, cricket, fiery food and so much more. A cluster of seven islands, Mumbai is known for its modern character in comparison to other Indian cities; as the country’s financial and cultural epicentre, it is no surprise that the booming Bollywood film industry chose Mumbai as its base. This vibrant city is hot, crowded and noisy, yet impossible not to love.
India's premier tourist resort is an idyllic vista of swaying palms, white sands, sparkling waters, emerald green paddy fields and eternal sunshine. Its colonial past is evident from the exquisite architecture and the East-meets-West cuisine, whilst its present and future are rooted firmly in tourism - evident in the ultra luxury resorts and restaurants which line the pristine beaches.
