Intending to unwind away from the Mumbai spotlight, Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma’s Alibaug retreat is more than just a weekend home. It’s a sanctuary of style, serenity, and smart design.
Tucked in Alibaug’s most coveted beachside stretch that is favoured by A-listers like Shah Rukh Khan, Gauri Khan, Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh, Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli’s Rs 32 crore villa is a striking example of slow luxury and nature-inspired minimalism. Designed by the renowned South African firm SAOTA (Stefan Antoni Olmesdahl Truen Architects) and helmed by Phillippe Fouché, the property is built across a 10,000-square-foot plot with a layout that breathes in light, space, and quiet opulence.
A Blend Of California And The Konkan
The home blends California coastal charm with Konkan-inspired warmth – a balance achieved through thoughtful use of natural materials like Turkish limestone, pink onyx, travertine, and exotic Italian marble. The four-bedroom, four-bathroom layout is anchored by a double-height cutout ceiling that lets sunlight pour into the living room. “The more light… the better its energy,” Virat told Architectural Digest, speaking about the calming effect of the home’s architecture.
Tech-Forward, Nature-Led Living
From a temperature-controlled pool to circadian lighting and gas leak detectors, the home’s seamless integration of tech ensures wellness and comfort. Smart-home automation, air and water filtration, and app-managed energy controls make this villa as efficient as it is elegant.
Their lush garden is filled with native flora and indoor plants, mirroring the couple’s love for greenery. There’s a porch by the pool, a jacuzzi, a custom-built kitchen, and a dining nook in the garden – Virat’s favourite spot. “Here, I wake up, chill out, have lemon water, a cup of coffee, ease into it, and start afresh,” he shared in the same interview.
A Weekend Home That Reflects Their Evolved Lifestyle
Acquired in 2022 for around Rs 19 crore, with an additional Rs 10.5–13 crore invested in construction, the villa now carries a value of approximately Rs 32 crore. Built over 8 acres, the space is intentionally under-planned – a choice that aligns with the couple’s need to “just be” and disconnect.
When not in Alibaug, the couple splits time between their Rs 34 crore Mumbai apartment and Virat’s Rs 80 crore Gurgaon bungalow. Now reportedly residing in London’s Notting Hill with their children Vamika and Akaay, the family is leaning into privacy, nature, and slower living.
