Just a five-minute walk from the serene Kashid beach, La Casa Maestro’s airy and bright interiors will fill you with positive vibes. Designed in a Spanish style with arches and pillars, the three-level villa has a doubleheight living room and large bay windows. All bedrooms come with attached terraces that look out over a lush, landscaped garden and give a 360º view of the surrounding hill and the sea. Vintage furniture and artefacts from around the world add a sophisticated touch. While alcohol and outside food are not allowed, the lip-smacking Malvani fare by in-house cook Pramila more than makes up for it—ask for her specialty pitla bhakri and crab.
