Goa, the Luxury Real Estate Investment Destination

December 5, 2024: As the demand for luxury homes grows phenomenally, Goa has emerged as a sought-after destination for high-end leisure real estate. Ravindra Gandhi, Managing Director of Tirasya Estates in an interaction with Realty & More, discuss the company’s vision for transforming luxury living in Goa with sustainable and exclusive villa communities. From their focus on craftsmanship to future expansion plans across India, Tirasya Estate is setting a new benchmark in boutique real estate development. Following is text of his interaction:

Q: How has the demand for luxury residences evolved in recent years, and what trends are shaping this segment?

A: The luxury real estate market has witnessed a significant transformation over the last few years. Buyer intent has grown by leaps and bounds, particularly among ultra/high-net-worth individuals, NRIs, and corporate professionals, who are increasingly looking for high-value holiday homes in serene, natural surroundings. There’s a growing preference for gated villas that offer not only exclusivity but also excellent investment returns. For instance, in Goa, rental yields range between 5-8%, and prime locations such as Anjuna, Arpora, and Candolim recorded a remarkable 22% capital appreciation in FY 2023-2024, according to Savills India. Additionally, PropEquity reports a 90% appreciation in launch prices for residential units in Goa over the past five years.

Q: What makes Goa a standout destination for luxury real estate?

A: Goa is truly unique in its ability to offer a blend of natural beauty, leisure, and lucrative real estate prospects. According to Sotheby’s International Realty’s Luxury Outlook Survey 2024, 35% of holiday home buyers in India prefer Goa as their second home destination. The state’s scenic locations—like Baga, Calangute, and Candolim—are particularly sought after, not only for their picturesque charm but also for their strong capital appreciation.  

Q3: Can you tell us about Tirasya Estate’s vision for its luxury villa project in Goa?

A: At Tirasya Estate, we’re excited to bring a new benchmark of luxury living to Goa. Our gated villa community is designed to meet the aspirations of High-Net-Worth Individuals who seek exclusivity and sophistication. Each villa reflects meticulous craftsmanship and world-class design, blending seamlessly with Goa’s natural beauty. We are committed to not just creating homes but also creating something that combines leisure with high ROI. These villas feature state-of-the-art amenities, lush private gardens, and breathtaking views, offering a curated living experience.  

Q4: Sustainability has become a key consideration for buyers today. How does Tirasya incorporate this into its projects?

A: Sustainability is central to our philosophy at Tirasya Estate. We understand that today’s buyers value homes that align with their principles, including minimising environmental impact. That’s why our villas are built using eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient technologies, from solar panels to rainwater harvesting systems. This approach not only reduces the carbon footprint but also ensures that our projects enhance rather than harm their surroundings. By harmonising luxury with sustainability, we aim to set a new standard in eco-conscious living. 

Q: What makes Tirasya Estate’s offerings distinct in the competitive luxury real estate market?

A: Our focus on boutique, exclusive communities sets us apart. Unlike large-scale developments, Tirasya Estate emphasises creating intimate living experiences tailored to the needs of discerning buyers.  Whether it’s a beachfront property or a secluded hillside retreat, our villas are designed to integrate modern elegance with the natural environment. Each home is a testament to architectural brilliance, offering panoramic views, private gardens, and cutting-edge amenities. This blend of privacy, luxury, and personalisation is what distinguishes us in the market. 

Q: Beyond Goa, what are Tirasya Estate’s plans for expansion?

A: While Goa marks the beginning of our journey, we have ambitious plans to expand into other picturesque locations across India. Coastal destinations like Kerala and the Andaman Islands, along with serene hill stations such as Uttarakhand and Coorg, are on our radar. Our vision is to replicate the boutique luxury experience we’re creating in Goa and other high-potential regions. By focusing on exclusive, eco-conscious communities in scenic locales and fulfil the evolving aspirations of our clientele while contributing positively to these environments.
