NEPEAN SEA ROAD
FOR GENERATIONS ROYALTY LIVED HERE.
NOW, IT’S YOUR TURN.
Nepean Sea Road is named after Sir Evan Nepean (1751-1822), 1st Baronet and the Governor of Bombay from 1812-1819.
When he was appointed as the Governor of Bombay, the Queen granted Sir Nepean a 2-acre land parcel set along the Arabian Sea for his residence. Thus began the royal sojourn where Rajas and Maharajas from across India, in a bid to be closer to British Royalty, chose to build a royal abode here, marking a turning point in the history of the region.
THE RESERVE OF THE ROYALS
Since then, Nepean Sea Road has remained the epitome of a luxury address. Stately private villas, princely palaces, old bungalows and luxury residences always graced Nepean Sea Road. Many Maharajas, including those from Baroda, Gwalior, Indore, Wankaner, Hyderabad, Rewa and Kutch, built palatial homes in and around Nepean Sea Road.
Through the centuries, and pages of history and time, Nepean Sea Road has continued to reign as the address of royalty. Home to the who’s who. The South Mumbai of South Mumbai. The reserve of the royals.
