Tired of the city? Here's why remote workers are snapping up vacation homes
As lifestyles evolve and disposable incomes rise, a new mindset is shaping India's real estate landscape, especially among the youth, both singles and couples. We are witnessing a strong shift toward long-term wealth creation, where real estate, particularly in the luxury segment, is playing a central role. Zoom From the hills, Netflix by the lake: Welcome to hybrid living 2.0(Image by Shutterstock) Not too long ago, the idea of owning a vacation home or even taking regular 'mental breaks' was considered indulgent, even unnecessary. Today, however, it's become a lifestyle choice. People no longer view vacation homes purely as indulgences — they now see them as strategic assets. Staycations, weekend getaways and hybrid living have reshaped the way people perceive second homes. Spain is the ultimate destination for remote workers in 2025.(Image by Verdin Property) Seeing this demand surge significantly, Ankit Lodha, Founder of LA Empire, shared in an interview with HT Lifestyle, 'Vacation homes are no longer just aspirational purchases. They have evolved into a vital and accessible part of modern living and portfolio diversification. According to recent industry reports, the luxury real estate segment (properties valued at INR 5 crore and above) has seen a remarkable 80% growth in sales compared to 2023. This trend signals where the market is headed — a future where premium real estate will be more lifestyle-driven, flexible and financially rewarding.' The very definition of 'home' is being reimagined Ankit Lodha opined, 'With hybrid and remote working models becoming increasingly adaptable, people are relocating to spaces that offer not just comfort but also a work-life balance — often surrounded by nature. A vacation home is no longer confined to short-term use; it has become a multi-functional space to live, work and unwind.' 'Bleisure' travel gains popularity as remote work redefines work-life balance(Unsplash/Kristin Wilson) What's also changing is the traditional notion of real estate as a static, long-term investment Ankit Lodha revealed, 'Today's luxury homebuyers are leveraging their properties in smarter ways — living in them for part of the year and renting them out for the rest. This model helps offset overhead costs, manage EMIs or maintenance, and in many cases, even generate surplus income.' She concluded, 'Mid-term rentals are booming in the luxury stay segment, further proving that flexibility and financial intelligence are at the core of this new wave of ownership. The luxury home market in India is no longer just about prestige. It's about practicality, adaptability, and sustainable wealth creation — all without compromising on quality of life.'

India, Maldives Sign Several Pacts During PM Modi's Visit, Agree On Trade Deal Terms
Male: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday held wide ranging talks with Maldives President Mohamed Muizzu at the President's Office in Male as both leaders reviewed the entire spectrum of India-Maldives relations and reaffirmed their commitment to further strengthening bilateral ties. "They discussed cooperation in the fields of development partnership, capacity building, health, infrastructure, digital economy, aquaculture, climate change and renewable energy. The two leaders called for closer collaboration to enhance peace, progress and prosperity of the Indian Ocean region," the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) posted on X after the bilateral discussions. The leaders also took stock of the progress in the implementation of the India-Maldives Joint Vision for a 'Comprehensive Economic and Maritime Security Partnership' adopted in 2024. This is Prime Minister Modi's third visit to Maldives - he had visited the Indian Ocean archipelago in 2018 and 2019, earlier - and the first by a Head of State or Government to Maldives during the Presidency of Mohamed Muizzu which began in November 2023. Both countries announced later that they have agreed on Terms of Reference of the India-Maldives Free Trade Agreement (FTA) and also signed several Memorandums of Understanding (MoU), including in the fields of fisheries and aquaculture. The two nations also signed an agreement for a Line of Credit (LoC) of INR 4,850 crores to Maldives besides an amendatory agreement on reducing annual debt repayment obligations of Maldives on Government of India-funded LoCs. An MoU was also signed between the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM), Ministry of Earth Sciences and the Maldives Meteorological Services (MMS), Ministry of Tourism and Environment. The two nations also signed a MoU on cooperation in the field of sharing successful digital solutions implemented at population scale for Digital Transformation between the Ministry of Electronics and IT of India and Ministry of Homeland Security and Technology of Maldives. Both nations also signed an MoU on recognition of Indian Pharmacopoeia (IP) by Maldives. Network-to-Network Agreement between India's NPCI International Payment Limited (NIPL) and Maldives Monetary Authority (MMA) on UPI in Maldives was also signed during PM Modi's visit to Maldives. Earlier in the day, PM Modi was accorded a ceremonial welcome and guard of honour at the Republic Square in Male as he began his official engagements during a two-day State Visit to the country. Maldives President Mohamed Muizzu was also present on the occasion. Children performed a dance to welcome PM Modi at the venue and the ceremonial welcome was followed by a meeting between the two leaders. In a special gesture, President Muizzu welcomed PM Modi at the airport in Male as he arrived from the United Kingdom. Maldives Foreign Minister, Defence Minister, Finance Minister and Minister of Homeland Security were also present at the airport to welcome PM Modi. PM Modi said that he is "deeply touched" by Muizzu's gesture of coming to the airport to receive him. He expressed confidence that the ties between two nations will scale new heights of progress in the coming times. "Landed in Male. Deeply touched by the gesture of President Muizzu to come to the airport to welcome me. I am confident that India-Maldives friendship will scale new heights of progress in the times to come," PM Modi posted on X. PM Modi will participate in the country's 60th Independence Day celebrations as the Guest of Honour on Saturday. This is his third visit to the Maldives and notably the first by any head of state or government since Muizzu assumed office.
