Imagine a home exuding resort vibes, with calm, soothing surroundings, luxurious interiors, and world-class amenities! Well, it’s a reality for an increasing number of Indians, as resort-style living has become very popular in the country. As per a study, India is among the top 10 countries in the world for branded luxury homes, with projected growth of nearly 200% by 2031. And right at the centre of this boom in luxury living is Goa, which is no longer just a popular tourist destination, but also an epitome of high-end living. Let’s explore the reasons behind the growth of resort-style homes in Goa and enjoy a peek at a spectacular property that promises unparalleled luxury.
Goa: Reasons for popularity
High appreciation rates
Property appreciation in Goa is one of the main reasons for its increasing popularity. Many NRIs and people from Metros like Delhi and Mumbai, who are looking for a second home, are heading to the beach state. Some prime areas in Goa have recorded a 15% to 30% increase in real estate prices over the past year. Compared to 2024, some micro markets have even registered a whopping 66.3 % year-on-year rise. Rental income from luxury properties is also high, with a potential annual return of 30% to 40%.
Smooth legal frameworks
Property ownership includes a lot of paperwork and other legal checks and clearances. Like the rest of India, all properties are registered with the state’s Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA). This ensures public disclosure of critical details such as deadlines, layout and all mandatory approvals. To make it even easier for homebuyers, many developers now offer to complete all necessary clearances, legal checks, and title searches. Also, Goa places great importance on environmental preservation. There are strict laws to protect natural resources, which all building activities must comply with. This also increases the long-term value of properties, which is another attraction for buyers.
Stunning natural beauty
Goa is one of the most beautiful states in India, and also one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. It boasts gorgeous beaches with golden sands, including Palolem, Anjuna, Candolim, Baga, Calangute, and Vagator. The state is home to rivers such as Mandovi, Zuari, and Chapora, as well as lakes and verdant fields. The famous Dudhsagar waterfall is located in Goa, which also has stunning spice plantations. It is a heaven for history buffs, with many forts and churches such as Fort Aguada, Reis Magos Fort, Chapora Fort, the Basilica of Bom Jesus, and the Church of St. Francis of Assisi. Nature lovers can explore options such as the Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary and the Molem & Bondla wildlife sanctuaries.
Impressive infrastructure development
Goa attracts property investors and home buyers with its excellent infrastructure. Apart from two airports (Dabolim and Mopa), it has an impressive network of highways, good roads, and bridges such as the Atal Setu, which enhance accessibility. Efficient power and water systems, development of smart cities, and robust social infrastructure are also factors that make Goa popular among those seeking to make it their home.
An NRI-favoured destination
Many NRIs and High Net-Worth Individuals (HNIs) buy luxury homes in Goa, primarily as second or vacation homes, because of its calm, tropical retreat vibe. It has a buzzing nightlife for party lovers and ample tourist attractions. A luxury home in Goa is an excellent investment, with strong appreciation and rental returns. All these factors have made resort-style living popular in the state.
