Lying on the trade route between the Malabar coast and the Persian Gulf, Alibaug and the surrounding areas were strategic importance and the Siddis of Murud-Janjira, the Marathas, Portugese and the British vied for its control. The sea fort of Kolaba, which Shivaji built in 1680 is also the town’s most popular attraction. Alibaug was developed by the Maratha admiral, Kanhoji Aangre.

Its proximity to Mumbai (just two hours from Gateway of India) makes it a paisa vasool (value for money) destination.
