Oyo-owned European holiday home brand DanCenter enters India

Oyo’s parent company, Oravel Stays, has launched its European holiday home brand, DanCenter, in India.

DanCenter, a Danish brand established in 1957 and acquired by Oyo Vacation Homes in 2019, will make its debut with three-bedroom luxury villas in Siolim, North Goa.

These villas come with services like housekeeping, help with local activities and bookings, a chef on call, and a barbecue on request. Each villa is designed to provide a private and comfortable stay, the company said.

“We are really excited to bring DanCenter’s unique vacation home experience to India starting with Goa, a destination synonymous with leisure and luxury. There is a growing demand for luxury holiday home rentals in India and we think it is the right time to introduce the DanCenter experience to our guests in India,” Aditya Sharma, luxury business head at Oravel Stays, said in a statement.

Since the acquisition, DanCenter has expanded across Europe and has a portfolio of 12,000 properties in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Germany.

DanCenter will introduce only newly constructed properties in India to provide a premium experience for guests. The company is also in advanced talks with real estate major Provident Group to introduce premium serviced apartments in Goa.
