MORJIM: Yuvraj Singh becomes the first international cricket superstar in India to become an Airbnb Host New Delhi, Delhi, India (NewsVoir) International cricket icon Yuvraj Singh is becoming an Airbnb Host and offering an exclusive one-time-only stay for a group of six at his home in Goa, India. Perched on a hilltop with spectacular views of the sea beyond, Singh’s home pays homage to the rich cultural heritage of Goa. Renowned for its pristine beaches, unique cuisine and warm hospitality, Goa is consistently one of the most sought after destinations for travelers in India and around the world.
Singh has delivered outstanding performances and career defining knocks throughout his career; he is now setting another milestone by becoming the first international cricketer from India to host on Airbnb. Six guests will have insider access to the cricketer’s three-bedroom holiday home filled with special memories and meaningful keepsakes from his years on the pitch. Bookable on airbnb.com/yuvrajsingh, Singh’s home will be available for INR 1212* per night – Singh’s birthday and jersey number – for a two-night stay from October 14 – 16, 2022. “My Goa home has always been extremely special to me. While my work takes me across the world, this villa is where my wife and I come together to spend quality time with our friends and family. I am looking forward to being an Airbnb Host and opening the doors of my home to a lucky group of six,” shared Yuvraj Singh.
