Power couple Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma of India have strengthened their real estate portfolio by buying a large 5.1-acre tract of property in coastal town Alibaug. The deal, which is worth ₹37.86 crore, is the couple’s second significant investment in the region, strengthening Alibaug’s status as India’s ultimate luxury hideout for the haves.
The Details of the Deal
On January 13, 2026 is published a purchase of two contiguous parcels of land in Zirad village, nestled close to the peaceful Awas Beach. Per property documents found on real estate data firm CRE Matrix:
- Total area: About 21,010 square meters (5.19 acres).
- Parcel Breakdown 1 plot is 14,740 sqm and 2 plot is 6,270 sqm.
- Financial: The couple paid a total of ₹37.86 crore for the land, a stamp duty of ₹2.27 crore and a registration fee of ₹30,000.
- The Seller: The land was purchased from Sonali Amit Rajput, a director of Samira Land Assets Pvt. Ltd.
A Growing Footprint in Alibaug
“Virushka” has made its way to the Raigad district before. In 2022, they bought almost 8 acres of land for about ₹19.24 crore. They built a high-tech, wellness-chic holiday home on that initial plot. The existing villa is a masterpiece of modern architecture, incorporating:
A temperature-controlled swimming pool and jacuzzi. A customizable kitchen, by the German brand Poggenpohl. Huge gardens and staff quarters. Virat Kohli has revealed his love for the area before, claiming it is "proximity to Mumbai" and a "completely different world" from the city’s chaos.
The "Celebrity Signal" Effect
Real estate professionals estimate that this latest acquisition is a "textbook celebrity signal moment." Deals of this scale often re-normalize local land thresholds, Abhishek Kiran Gupta, CEO of CRE Matrix, said. With celebrities such as Bachchans, Shah Rukh Khan’s daughter Suhana Khan, and cricketer Rohit Sharma all investing in the area, Alibaug has rapidly moved from a weekend escape to a curated high-end residential center.
With enhanced connectivity on the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL) as well as speedy Ro-Ro ferry services, travel time from South Mumbai has dropped remarkably, resulting in these multi-crore investments being a lifestyle and strategic long-term investment.
