With all improvements on a single titled lot, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a proven hospitality compound with a strong sense of place and long term upside.
Long Description
Set within mature tropical landscaping just 200 meters from the beach, this fully operational boutique hotel and restaurant is located on a 7261 square meter titled property in Playa Chiquita, one of the South Caribbean’s most sought after and tightly held locations. Designed as a low density hospitality compound, the property combines privacy, natural beauty, and walkability with an established business that is already built and operating.
The property is being sold as a complete, income generating hospitality operation, inclusive of all guest accommodations, restaurant facilities, pool, reception, and supporting service areas. The layout and infrastructure allow for immediate continuation of operations under new ownership, without development or build-out requirements.
The accommodation inventory has been intentionally configured to support both guest operations and on site ownership or management. The hotel component accommodates up to 26 guests, while the overall property sleeps up to 32, incorporating an owner’s suite and caretaker accommodations without reducing guest capacity. This configuration supports hands on ownership, professional management, or a hybrid operational approach.
Guest accommodations are distributed across multiple low density structures, creating a village style layout that enhances privacy and flexibility. The compound includes four fully equipped bungalows of approximately 55 square meters each, featuring studio style bedrooms, living areas, kitchens, bathrooms, and private terraces. Three newer bungalows of approximately 35 square meters provide efficient guest units with private bathrooms and terraces. Complementing the bungalow inventory is an additional dwelling of approximately 134 square meters, configured with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, suitable for premium rentals or owner use.
The on site restaurant is a meaningful component of the property, designed to operate as an independent business rather than a secondary amenity. With seating for approximately 56 guests and a combined restaurant and kitchen footprint of roughly 140m², the space serves both hotel guests and the surrounding community and contributes to overall operational balance.
Common area infrastructure includes a 10m x 3m swimming pool with a total pool and deck area of approximately 212m², a dedicated reception area, and additional service and utility spaces, including a separate room with a full bathroom suitable for staff or operational use. The layout supports efficient daily operations while maintaining a relaxed, natural guest experience.
The property is beautifully landscaped with mature tropical plants and trees, creating privacy throughout the compound and attracting a wide variety of birds and local wildlife. This established landscaping enhances the sense of space and tranquility and plays a central role in the guest experience.
All buildings and improvements are located on a single 7261 square meter titled lot, providing a clear ownership structure in a location where comparable titled hospitality properties are increasingly limited.
This offering is well suited for buyers seeking a proven hospitality compound in Playa Chiquita. One that balances operational readiness with a strong sense of place, and offers the opportunity to step into an established environment with room to refine, personalize, or further optimize over time.
