Ventive Hospitality To Acquire 76% Stake In Soham Leisure Ventures; Share Price in Focus

Ventive Hospitality Limited has unveiled its entry into India’s leisure hospitality segment with a proposed acquisition of a controlling stake in Soham Leisure Ventures Pvt. Ltd., the owner of Hilton Goa Resort. Announced on 25th September 2025, the transaction signals Ventive’s strategic expansion into one of India’s fastest-growing tourism destinations.

Transaction Terms And Development Scope

Ventive proposes to acquire a 76% stake in Soham Leisure Ventures at an enterprise value of approximately ₹320 crore. An initial cash outlay of ₹120 crore secures Hilton Goa Resort’s 104 operational keys, with development potential for 60–65 additional rooms on-site. The deal also includes a 4-acre Goa land parcel earmarked for branded villas with an estimated gross sale value exceeding ₹100 crore. 

Proceeds from these villas are expected to strengthen cash flows. The transaction structure refinances debt at lower interest rates, improving leverage, with an initial outflow of about ₹110 crore (excluding land), delivering a 13% yield on capital on trailing FY25 EBITDA.

Hilton Goa Resort Repositioning

Hilton Goa Resort, located on Saipem Hills in Candolim, is a 104-key luxury property featuring panoramic views, multiple pools, signature F&B concepts, and 16,500 sq. ft. of event space. It also offers a kids’ club, fitness centre, and wellness amenities. In FY25, the resort delivered an ADR of ₹11,873 at 76% occupancy. 

Ventive plans to refurbish the existing property, add 60–65 rooms, a spa, and new dining concepts. This repositioning aims to establish Hilton Goa as an upper-upscale lifestyle resort, driving higher ADR, EBITDA, and ROCE while attracting both loyal patrons and new-age travellers.

Leadership Comments

As per the exchange filings, Atul Chordia, Chairman and Executive Director of Ventive Hospitality Ltd, said: “The Hilton Goa Resort acquisition is a landmark for Ventive, marking our foray into the leisure market in Goa. This move reinforces our commitment to building a diversified portfolio across business and leisure segments while maintaining capital discipline.”

With refurbishment and new room additions, the Hilton Goa Resort will become a marquee leisure destination.
