Hills & Tides brings together three homes between the Western Ghats and the Arabian Sea. Viharika looks across fields to the Sahyadri from an open-air jacuzzi on its roof in Wai. Shlok is a calm, pet-friendly house in Alibaug, a kilometre from Varsoli beach, with gourmet meal options. Sunshine is a four-bedroom villa in South Goa with its own plunge pool and waterfall, minutes from Colva. Each sleeps six or more, and each is booked here, directly.
