The definitive guide to Mumbai's most coveted addresses
By Sandeep Sadh · Founder & CEO, Rentu.in · 33+ years in Mumbai real estate
There's something about waking up to the sound of waves crashing against the Arabian Sea. In a city as dense and fast-paced as Mumbai, a sea facing apartment isn't just a home — it's a daily retreat. Open the curtains to an endless horizon, feel the salt breeze through the balcony, and watch spectacular sunsets paint the sky every evening. It's a lifestyle that thousands aspire to, and one that Mumbai delivers like no other Indian city.
Having spent over 33 years in Mumbai's rental market, I've walked through hundreds of sea facing apartments — from heritage buildings on Marine Drive to ultra-modern towers in Worli. What I've learned is that the right sea-view home is deeply personal. Some clients want the quiet elegance of Cuffe Parade overlooking the harbour, while others prefer the energetic buzz of Bandra's Bandstand with waves literally at their doorstep.
Worli has transformed into Mumbai's most sought-after sea facing address. With the Bandra-Worli Sea Link connecting it to the western suburbs and some of India's finest residential towers dotting its coastline, Worli offers the perfect blend of connectivity and exclusivity. Buildings like Raheja Vivarea, Lodha Park, and Indiabulls Sky offer floor-to-ceiling glass windows with panoramic sea views that stretch from Haji Ali to the Sea Link and beyond.
What to expect in Worli:
Bandra West is Mumbai's cultural heartbeat. The Bandstand promenade is flanked by some of the city's most iconic residences — including celebrity homes that regularly make tabloid headlines. Carter Road offers a more relaxed sea-facing vibe with charming cafes and a quieter stretch of coastline. Renting a sea facing flat here puts you at the centre of Mumbai's best restaurants, boutiques, and nightlife.
What to expect in Bandra West:
Juhu beach is synonymous with Mumbai itself. Living on Juhu Tara Road means watching the sunset from your living room while the city winds down below. It's a more spacious, relaxed alternative to the towers of Worli, with larger apartments and a distinct neighbourhood charm. The proximity to the domestic airport is an added bonus for frequent travellers.
For those who want the old-world elegance that only South Mumbai can offer, Marine Drive's Queen's Necklace and Cuffe Parade's harbour views remain timeless. These are larger, heritage-style apartments — high ceilings, spacious rooms, and the kind of address that carries weight in any conversation. Nariman Point offers corporate-adjacent sea-view living that's perfect for executives who want to walk to work.
