📈 27th August, Eustasio López learned of a potential sale of the Bahía del Duque hotel, located in Adeje, Tenerife. The owner of Lopesan, a major player in the luxury hotel industry, is keen on acquiring the property from the Zamorano family amid other offers. Known for his strategic acumen, López is battling with competing bidders, including Bankinter and BBVA. This could be the biggest tourism deal of the year in Tenerife.

🏨 The Zamorano family is evaluating offers for the Bahía del Duque hotel in Costa Adeje as of 2025. A Gran Canaria hotel chain, Lopesan, and a financial entity are contenders, with Lopesan offering €300 million. The family has not confirmed any deal, maintaining confidentiality. The hotel, designed by architect Andrés Piñeiro, remains a significant asset in the Spanish coastal hotel market. More updates on this high-value negotiation are expected soon.
