Beyond Tier-I cities, a new wave of serviced residence growth is taking shape in tourism-centric destinations. Locations such as Goa, Rishikesh, and Kasauli are experiencing heightened demand, fueled by several factors:
- Rising preference for long-stay and experiential stays.
- The growth of remote and flexible work culture.
- Shifting traveler mind-set from regular hotels to branded, professionally managed residences.
- Increasing appeal among second-home buyers seeking rental visibility and ROI alongside lifestyle benefits.
In Tier-I cities, branded serviced residences associated with national or international hotel brands command an average sale price of around Rs 22,000 per sqft in Delhi, Rs 19,500 per sqft in Bengaluru, and Rs 25,000 per sqft in Mumbai. In comparison, tourist destinations offer more attractive entry points, with Goa starting at Rs 11,500 per sqft, followed by Kasauli and Rishikesh at Rs 9,500 and Rs 8,500 per sqft, respectively.
Goa stands out as India’s premier leisure and lifestyle destination, with its unique blend of affordability, premium hospitality tie-ups, planned infrastructure projects, and strong tourism-driven demand. The state has gradually undergone a paradigm shift from villa to apartment typology, with serviced residences emerging as one of the next major investment trends in India.
As global travelers and domestic buyers increasingly seek lifestyle-driven real estate options, serviced residences in Goa will offer an ideal combination of price appreciation, consistent rental yields, and long-term lifestyle benefits. This will cement Goa’s place as a preferred destination for investors and homeowners across India and globally. Over the years, Goa’s residential price appreciation has nearly tripled, from Rs 4,000 to Rs 10,300 per sqft (2019-2025). Going forward, development is expected to expand from the coast to the hinterland, driven by the operationalization of the Mopa International Airport, the planned Phase 3 and 4 expansions, proposed Aerocity, and the DMIC corridor. This wave of growth is projected to fuel further price appreciation of 2.5–3.0X by 2032, with rental yields ranging from 8-12%.
Serviced residences are transforming into a high-performing asset class, combining investment growth with lifestyle appeal. With rising demand across emerging micro-markets, investors and homeowners have a unique opportunity to unlock long-term good return on investment, capital appreciation, and attractive rental yields as second home or holiday home investments, according to Swapnil Anil, managing director, advisory services, Colliers India.
