Uran, about 30 km from Navi Mumbai, is easy to reach via the Belapur – JNPT toll road.
You would have to keep asking locals for directions to Hotel Uran Plaza once you reach Uran. The last 500 meters is a narrow tree covered gravel track. As you park near the Beer Garden, you can hear the sea hit the beach pretty vigorously.
Hotel Uran Plaza, spread over about 20-25 acres of land, is located right on the beach. It has A/C and Non A/C rooms, open air sitting area, hammocks and a tennis court in the midst of a coconut grove. The food was pretty decent.
Several bird species can be seen here - Pintail, Hoopoe, Kingfisher, Egrets, Indian Bee-eater, etc.
The property is owned by a retired Vice Admiral. Reservations can be done on phone numbers – 022 - 2722 2318.
