Seawoods–Darave is a newly developed railway station on the Harbour line of the Mumbai Suburban Railway in the Nerul node. The railway station derives its name from the famous Seawoods NRI complex developed by CIDCO especially for high income and economically well to do groups. The area has developed rapidly in recent years compared to any other nodes in Navi Mumbai due to its strategic location, having Vashi, Mumbai & Thane towards its north and Ulwe, Uran, JNPT & upcoming international airport towards is south and CBD Belapur, Kharghar & Panvel towards its east. The station is located adjacent to Sector 40 & 42, few kilometers away from Seawoods NRI complex.

It's being developed as Seawoods Grand Central by Larsen & Toubro Ltd.[1] The Seawoods Grand Central complex is set to have large office spaces, malls and an entertainment area which is likely to transform the image of the city.[2] The entry/exit subway of the west side of the station is directly connected to Seawoods Grand Central.

It is directly connected to Palm Beach Road towards its south, and another major road like Sion-Panvel Highway through Amra Marg towards its north-east. The Navi Mumbai International Airport is just 3 km away from Seawoods.
