Located in the scenic Konkan belt, around 150 km from Mumbai, Murad is a place of historical importance, well-known for the sea-fort of Murud – Janjira. Murud also boasts of expansive natural beauty including pristine beaches like Kashid and Murud, the Garambi waterfalls and an invigorating climate. This makes it the ideal location for building a destination that would attract tourists from across the world.

In addition to driving tourism, the project envisions engaging local communities through education, skill development of youth and economic empowerment of women, among other areas.

In a bid to promote tourism, the Government of Maharashtra, under the aegis of Tourism Policy 2016, has designated tourism as a priority sector to drive investment, economic development and employment generation. The state government will support the project by facilitating the necessary infrastructure, which will be instrumental in creating world-class facilities for tourist arriving from across the world.
