COMPLETE + OPERATIONAL  PROJECTS

THE OLIVE

The Olive is a finely tuned hip hotel close to the beautiful Cala LLonga Beach in Ibiza.

The Olive features 28 apartment suites set into a rustic, Ibizan chic environment, featuring turquoise circular guest pools, a poolside chiringuito offering fresh juices, healthy breakfasts, cocktails, tapas and light meals, an atmospheric spa with hydro-pool, dip pool, sauna and relaxation area, plus a state of the art, fully equipped gym, reception, guest lounge and more…
The Olive was completed in the Spring of 2021 and opened in June of that year. The hotel has since performed at an occupancy rate average of 96% for the Summer season (May 1st to October 31st), and approx 70% year round, with revenue and profit increasing sharply year on year. 2023 saw a dramatic 36% increase in total revenue, and 2024 has started incredibly well with a February opening occupancy of 90%.


SHANTI

Shanti is an exciting Ibizan dining concept leveraging the enormous upwards growth curve and gentrification that the beach destination of Cala Llonga is currently undergoing. This latest hospitality offering from Nativo is poised to service the influx of tourists staying at 700+ new hotel rooms planned across 3 major new hotels that are undergoing development on the front line of Cala Llonga. Shanti opened it’s doors for the first time in October 2023, and is fast becoming one of Ibiza’s most celebrated and talked about restaurants.

Shanti is an eclectic destination restaurant created in a beautiful and traditional heritage building on the shores of Cala LLonga beach, and offers up exquisite dishes hailing from the Himalayas down to the shores of Kerala, using locally sourced fresh produce, elaborate spicing, fire and smoke and presentation worthy of any Michelin starred establishment.

PROJECTS in development

Luna Casa Hotel

Luna Casa Hotel + Spa is a luxurious and laid-back boutique hotel featuring 25 beautifully appointed one and two bedroom properties, together with all the amenities one would expect to find in a truly 5 star destination – a fine dining editorial standard designed restaurant, decadent cocktail bar, café and juice bar, wonderful guest infinity pools with panoramic ocean views, a dramatic spa, plus a lavish private day yacht, for the exclusive use of owners and hotel guests.
Luna Casa Hotel + Spa has a GDV of 21m Euro and is currently under construction. The project's editorial standard properties have truly raised the bar to unreachable heights on Ibiza for tourist licenced accommodation and present a truly unique and compelling opportunity for investors.

Villa Cuarzo

Villa Cuarzo is a sophisticated and contemporary luxury villa set over three levels, featuring oversized living spaces, two beautiful infinity pools, five sumptuous master bedrooms, a spa, gym, home cinema and expansive terraces. Not to mention dazzling ocean views and a private pathway to the gorgeous cove of Cala Salada.

Cala Salada is one of Ibiza’s most naturally beautiful and charming beaches. The pine covered hillside leads down to this protected cove, complete with traditional wooden boathouses and a fabulous old-style chiringuito specialising in authentic paella and seafood in a rustic setting.

The sparkling turquiose waters are shallow and clear and in Summer Cala Salada is a huge drawcard for yachtsmen and their guests, seeking lazy barefoot lunches and afternoon swims.

Puerto Escondido

Nativo has secured approx 10 hectares of super prime beachfront land in the seriously up and coming beachside town of Puerto Escondido. This stunning coastline has been attracting discerning travelers for many years, but there is very little supply of well designed, well managed stock.

The 10 hectares are to be divided up into 6 independent projects, each having a hotel plus a real estate element, and each having it's own identity and style, collectively all sitting together under the Nativo Casa Hotel master brand.

Nativo is collaborating with iconic and uber creative architects; Joao Boto Caeiro, Luis Zárate, Francis Kere, Gabriela Carillo and Loreta Castro, who have collectively been responsible for some truly ground breaking and memorable resort and community projects both in Mexico and internationally. The master-planning work is already well in process.

We expect to be ready to launch the first hotel + real estate phase for pre-sales in Q3 2024. Interest for real estate in this location is exceptionally strong. Puerto Escondido builds on the proven appetite for high end, fully managed real estate in the Tulum area of Mexico, with overseas investors seeking out luxury accommodation and ROI in droves. This project benefits significantly from very favourable investment and supply and demand conditions with little or no genuine competition on the Oaxacan Coast.

Andorra

Nativo is currently in the final planning stages of a luxury ski resort in Andorra, featuring a series of 44 impeccably appointed and very stylish one, two and three bedroom master suites, plus the accompanying 5 star accoutrements - destination restaurant, underground spa with treatment rooms, cocktail bar and lounge, and a perfectly planned shuttle service to and from the nearby slopes.

In Summer the resort will be marketed to those seeking luxury breaks in the breathtakingly beautiful scenery of Andorra in a superbly designed hotel, also those arranging weddings and celebrations and also hikers, cyclists and groups. We anticipate investors will be attracted by the ROI owner lifestyle benefits and possibly the certain fiscal benefits of owning real estate in this select and well-heeled haven.

The Andorra project will be offered for pre-sales during Q3 of 2024.

SMOKE

Following hot on the heels of the success of Shanti, Nativo continues to expand the Ibiza culinary scene with the introduction of SMOKE, a low + slow BBQ grill, also located close to the beautiful beach of Cala LLonga.

SMOKE is authentic soul food, referencing century old traditional recipes and smoking techniques all the way from Louisiana in the Deep South. These are dishes everyone loves to love, such as Applewood smoked brisket, Cajun spatchcock chicken, Creole king prawns and sticky slow cooked pork ribs, with mac n cheese, summer slaw and Dirty Nashville fries to accompany. Classic desserts, as American as apple crumble, homemade brownies and berry cheesecake add something sweet.
With the backdrop of gritty New Orleans jazz playing all day, and original portraits of some of the era´s finest jazz musicians and singers adorning the walls, SMOKE is set to be one the of islands easiest hits.

SMOKE opens its doors in September 2024.
