Where ‘chase master’ Virat Kohli unwinds; A look at his 10,000 sq ft Alibaug home

King Kohli has had a terrific feat at the ongoing ICC Champions Trophy. As the cricketer has led India to victory through several high-stake matches, he must need a break after the finals on March 9. But what does Virat Kohli do for relaxation? Well, he has built a 10,000 sq ft house in Alibaug as his peaceful getaway for when city life feels too much. But why Alibaug?

“Honestly, it’s the proximity to Mumbai. Here, we have a completely different world, a home away from the hustle and bustle of the city. With so much going on all the time, it’s nice to be away from the chaos, and Alibag allows us to do that,” Kohli said in an interview with Architectural Digest.

Let’s take a detailed look at Virat Kohli’s Alibaug home

Built by Stefan Antoni Olmesdahl Truen Architects (SAOTA) led by Phillippe Fouche, the four-bedroom villa is built with a fusion of Californian and Konkan styles and embodies “raw luxury’’. The beach house perfectly captures the Konkan coast vibe with its high ceilings, an open layout, pristine stones, exotic Italian marbles, Turkish limestones, and more.

The house is built on 8-acre plot which was purchased by Virat and Anushka in 2022 for around Rs 19 crore. The luxurious property designed Avās Design Studio features a Balinese sukabumi stone-clad temperature-controlled pool, a customised kitchen by German brand Poggenpohl, four bedrooms and four bathrooms, a jacuzzi, a sprawling garden, covered parking, staff quarters, and more.

But what does Virat like most about the house? “The most interesting feature is the double-height cut-out ceiling in the living space, as it welcomes natural light. The more light… the better its energy,” he shared in the same AD interview.

Virat and Anushka’s new holiday home is situated inside Awas Living in Alibaug, which is a highly exclusive and luxury gated community that also houses a wellness centre and spa.
