Moreover, the newly added categories provide users access to a curated selection of resorts and private villas, specifically designed for leisure travellers, families, and groups seeking enhanced space, privacy, and flexibility. At the same time, this expansion builds on the platform’s existing offerings, including shared apartments and homestays. Additionally, it complements Holy Hotels’ offline booking support, which continues to differentiate the platform in an otherwise highly digital travel booking ecosystem.

As travel behaviour continues to shift, demand for accommodations offering privacy, comfort, and a personalised experience has steadily increased. According to data from the Press Information Bureau, India recorded over 303 crore domestic tourist visits in 2025, highlighting the scale of domestic tourism and the growing preference for intentional travel. Consequently, travellers now increasingly choose flexible stays such as resorts and private villas across multiple segments.

Commenting on the development, Mr. Deepak Chhabra, Director of Holy Hotels said, “The way people travel is changing. Travellers today are looking for experiences that align with their purpose of travel. With the addition of resorts and villas, we are expanding choice on the platform while continuing to keep booking simple and accessible.”

Furthermore, the company continues to prioritise its hybrid booking model, which combines online discovery with offline assistance. This approach allows travellers to receive personalised guidance whenever required, whether they are planning villa stays, coordinating group travel, or managing complex itineraries. As a result, Holy Hotels strengthens its position in the competitive travel and hospitality technology space.

Looking ahead, Holy Hotels plans to introduce additional accommodation categories, including guesthouse bookings, an expanded range of apartments, and upgraded homestay options with improved discovery and booking features. These enhancements will not only broaden the platform’s inventory but also significantly improve the overall user experience.

As domestic travel continues to grow rapidly, Holy Hotels remains focused on building a comprehensive travel platform that caters to diverse budgets, travel styles, and preferences. Ultimately, the company aims to simplify the process of discovering and booking suitable accommodations across India while meeting the evolving expectations of modern travellers.

Holy Hotels’ expansion into resort and villa bookings reflects the broader shift in India’s travel landscape towards personalised and experience-led stays. By enhancing its offerings and leveraging a hybrid booking model, the platform is well-positioned to capitalise on the surge in domestic tourism and redefine convenience in travel booking.

The decision by the London-listed company comes as office landlords slowly recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, with businesses turning to a permanent hybrid model in which employees spend their time between home and office.

“The shift from fixed workspace to flex is now irreversible and the business will continue to accelerate its growth adding a thousand locations in the next year alone,” said Chief Executive Officer Mark Dixon at the international property conference MIPIM.

The firm that owns the Spaces and Regus brands has around 3,500 buildings in more than 120 countries and serves 83% of Fortune 500 companies. IWG, on the other hand, did not give a net increase of its centres for the year, which includes any closures. 

Customers of IWG have access to the firm’s extensive network of locations, with a variety of plans to choose from, providing employees with much-needed geographic flexibility. 

As office space providers benefit from the hybrid work trend, the Switzerland-based firm announced earlier this month that it would integrate its digital assets with flexible workspace platform The Instant Group.
