Group Expansion

The expansion of the hotel group, Playa Sol, seems to know no boundaries
after the purchases of four more hotels were announced.

At the beginning of the year the hotel group,
headed by the Catalan businessman Fernando Ferré,
secured the Riviera Hotel in the bay of San Antonio.
This has been followed up with the purchase of the Tur Palas,
the Llevant, Mira Mola and the Sol Bay II apartments.
This makes the group the number one hotel provider on the island
with a total of ten thousand beds,
ten per cent of the total currently on offer in Ibiza.

The group, which was founded 20 years ago,
has been rapidly buying up properties of differing categories,
especially within the bay of San Antonio and Playa den Bossa.

At the time of publication the group owns 51 hotels/apartment complexes,
a number which looks certain to increase in the near future.
