Luxury Holiday Mumbai

Like much of India, Mumbai is a city of contrasts – contrasts that greet you on every street corner. This you experience in the juxtaposition of contemporary architecture and stately Victorian buildings; sprawling markets and glittering shopping malls; vast urban slums and luxury hotels. It may take you a moment to adjust to Mumbai’s frenetic pulse and loud energy, but dig a little deeper and you’ll soon discover the charming soul of this vibrant metropolis.

Mumbai is a vast Indian city, extending along India’s west coast. Originally a fishing village, the city became known as Bombay during its time under British colonial rule. A financial and manufacturing hub, Mumbai holidays transport you to a city that’s fast-paced and dynamic, packed with life of all colours and shades.

A world of discovery awaits your holiday to Mumbai

At Mumbai’s heart, some of colonial architecture’s greatest feats stand tall and proud. A visit to the magnificent train station introduces you to the city’s most extravagant gothic-era building – Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj – an embodiment of British colonialism in India. Join the throngs on the harbour waterfront to take in the iconic Gateway of India stone arch.

Colaba is Mumbai’s neighbourhood of old-world charm, a maze of dilapidated buildings and mismatch colonial architecture. Stop for afternoon high tea at the iconic Taj Mahal Palace hotel; spend the rest of the day browsing souvenir stalls, boutique shops and trendy restaurants. As dusk falls, head to Marine Drive with the rest of the city – a palm-lined boulevard, between Nariman and Chowpatty Beach, and a popular spot for street-food and sunsets.

Mumbai is the Bollywood capital and the epicentre of India’s thriving film industry. A holiday to Mumbai would not be complete without an authentic Bollywood show – celebrating the diversity and colour of Indian culture. Other city highlights include intriguing Elephanta Island and the authentic Sassoon fishing docks. Find tranquillity in the tropical expanses of Sanjay Gandhi National Park, just outside the city.
