Chorwad was a small fishing village which rose to glory when Nawab of Junagadh, Muhammad Mahabat Khanji III Rasul Khanji, the Regional Governor of Junagadh, built his summer palace in this place in 1930. This place was under his rule till independence.
The palace is also called the Daria Mahal, and the architectural style is a blend of Italian and Muslim styles. Later in 1974 it was taken over by the government and turned into a resort.
