Cumbala Hill (also spelled Cumballa) is a hill and upmarket neighbourhood in South Mumbai flanked by the sea on the West, Altamount Road on the East, Malabar Hill on the South and Mahalaxmi on the North. The hill is at an elevation of 56 metres (184 ft).
Along with nearby Malabar Hill, Cumbala Hill is home to the most number of billionaires in Mumbai as well hosts residences of prominent ministers.[1] Billionaire Mukesh Ambani's $1.5 billion home Antilia is located here as well as numerous bungalows dating back to the British Raj.
It is also called Diplomat's Hill or Ambassador's Row by residents as many consulates and high commissions are located in the area.
