The 56,000-square-meter 185-suite complex is designed in the manner of a village, with whitewashed houses of Ibizan inspiration, three restaurants and three bars, a spa and wellness centre, a children’s club, and three swimming pools. A typical night’s stay costs around €300.
According to Diario de Ibiza, German luxury hotel chain Seven Pines inaugurated it’s first year-round hotel in Ibiza in 2017 following an estimated €74 million investment.
The German business 12.18 Investment Management, located in Düsseldorf and specialising in real estate investments and hotel and tourism management, controlled the Seven Pines Resort Ibiza hotel complex, according to the then-CEO Markus Lueck.
The acquisition was the second buy in E&V’s Hotel Fund 1, with the other being in Sardinia. The target volume of the fund is €500 million, with €250 million coming from equity. The fund also serves as an attractive investment opportunity for institutional investors who can invest from €5 million. The main task of the fund is the acquisition of existing hotels and resorts with repositioning potential, which will then reopen as four or five star hotels. The focus is on Europe and with the 12.18 group of companies, the fund also has a successful and well-known partner who serves as the developer and operator of these luxury hotels.
