Opportunity to acquire a fully owned, beachfront boutique resort located on the highly sought-after North Coast of Bahia, Brazil, one of the country’s fastest-growing leisure and tourism corridors.

The asset comprises 10 fully serviced private villas (30 suites) arranged in a low-density, residential-style layout across an ~8,100 sqm freehold beachfront site, offering direct and unobstructed ocean access. The property includes a fully equipped clubhouse (restaurant, bar, gym, pools, and event spaces) and is designed to operate both as a traditional hospitality asset and a high-end, event-driven destination (weddings, corporate retreats, private buyouts), with capacity for up to ~300 guests.

The resort benefits from a prime location approximately 45 minutes from Salvador International Airport (SSA). The surrounding area is experiencing strong tourism growth, further supported by the presence of leading international hospitality operators within a ~10 km radius, including Tivoli, Vila Galé and Iberostar, reinforcing the destination’s attractiveness and long-term positioning. This dynamic is underpinned by increasing domestic demand, a recovery in international travel flows, and strict coastal zoning regulations, which significantly limit new beachfront developments and support long-term pricing power.

Operationally, the asset demonstrates robust fundamentals, with ~59% occupancy, strong ADR growth, and a ~31% EBITDA margin (FY25A), supported by a lean operating model and high guest satisfaction (4.5+/5 ratings across major platforms), driving repeat demand and strong brand equity.

The property is offered fully owned, debt-free and stabilized, with no near-term capex requirements, providing a turnkey platform for investors with immediate cash flow visibility and full operational flexibility.

Finally, the property offers scalability and optionality, with potential for selective expansion (additional units or amenities), subject to feasibility and permitting.

This opportunity is particularly suited for hospitality investors, family offices, HNWI or lifestyle driven platforms seeking exposure to a differentiated, supply constrained beachfront asset combining immediate yield and value add upside in a high-growth international market.

Property Information

Real Estate:

Real Property Included

Living Accommodation:

On-site accommodation is fully integrated within the operating asset, comprising 10 private villas (30 suites) accommodating up to ~60 guests. Each villa includes multiple en-suite bedrooms, living areas, and private outdoor spaces, enabling both individual bookings and full-site privatization.

Location:

Prime beachfront location in Itacimirim (North Coast of Bahia, Brazil), approximately 45 minutes from Salvador International Airport (SSA). Situated within one of Brazil’s fastest-growing leisure corridors, benefiting from strong domestic tourism, increasing international arrivals, and proximity to established upscale destinations such as Praia do Forte. The area is further validated by the presence of leading hospitality operators (Tivoli, Iberostar, Vila Galé) within a ~10 km radius, while maintaining a low-density, secluded beachfront setting.

Premises Details:

The property comprises a fully owned ~8,100 sqm beachfront site with direct ocean access and ~3,900 sqm of built area. The asset includes 10 fully serviced private villas (30 suites) arranged in a low-density layout, alongside a central clubhouse featuring F&B outlets, pools, gym, and dedicated event spaces. The infrastructure supports both transient hospitality operations and full-site privatization for events (weddings, corporate retreats).

Size in square feet:
~87,000 sq ft land / ~42,300 sq ft built area
Planning Consent:

The property is fully operational and compliant with local zoning regulations for hospitality use. The asset benefits from strict coastal zoning restrictions limiting new beachfront developments, reinforcing long-term supply constraints and asset value. Future development remains subject to standard local permitting processes.

Business Operation

Management type:
This business is owner operated.
Expansion Potential:

Multiple value creation levers remain, including ADR repositioning, F&B monetization via board plans, and further development of high-margin weddings and MICE segments. The asset also offers optionality for selective physical expansion (additional villas or amenities), subject to zoning and permitting constraints. Operational scalability can be achieved without significant capex due to existing infrastructure capacity.

Competition / Market:

The competitive set primarily consists of large-scale all-inclusive resorts (e.g., Iberostar, Vila Galé, Tivoli) and smaller boutique pousadas in the surrounding area. The asset differentiates itself through its hybrid positioning (private villas with hotel-grade services), beachfront exclusivity, and event-driven capabilities. Limited direct competition exists in the boutique villa-resort segment, particularly with comparable scale, service offering, and ownership structure.

Reasons for selling:

The sale is not distress-driven. It reflects a standard ownership transition, with the current shareholders seeking to reallocate their capital and focus toward other projects. The business is performing well and offered as a fully operational, stabilized asset.

Trading hours:

24/7 hospitality operations with continuous guest services. Front desk, security, and essential services operate on a full-time basis. F&B operations typically run on a daily schedule (breakfast & lunch service), with extended hours during events, peak occupancy periods, or privatizations.

Employees:
25
Years established:
11

Other Information

Support & training:

The current owner and management team are available to provide a structured handover and transition support, including operational procedures, vendor relationships, pricing strategy, and event management processes.

A comprehensive onboarding period can be arranged to ensure continuity across all key functions (hospitality operations, F&B, and events). The asset benefits from an experienced and stable on-site team, enabling a smooth transition with limited operational disruption.

Financing available:

No seller financing contemplated. The transaction is structured as a full equity sale (100% share capital), with buyers expected to arrange their own financing if required.
