About Mayaland Homes

Choosing to move to Goa from London two-and-a-half years ago, our founder and CEO, Paul Dass OBE, knew that he had made the right decision with regards to lifestyle and running his businesses. Unfortunately, his search for a new home was unsuccessful.

After developing properties in London and India over the last 30 years, Paul decided to take a step in creating luxurious homes in Goa and today prides himself and his team on their ability to bring together a brand called Mayaland Homes, a company that combines the best of British and international designers, progressive technology with Indian professionals, artisans and designers.

Started in 2017, Mayaland Homes aims to create an eco-luxury lifestyle by building homes that are exceptional yet sustainable. With visionary founder and CEO Paul Dass OBE, Mayaland Homes offers its expertise with its 30-year experience, to ensure luxury homes are built to the highest international standards and all of its clients’ needs are exceptionally managed.
