FOR SALE – Boutique Hotel in Gaucín, Andalusia
A rare opportunity in one of Andalusia’s most charming white villages
Set in the heart of Gaucín, this unique boutique hotel offers a rare blend of authenticity, comfort, and soul. With panoramic views over the valley, mountains, and Mediterranean Sea, it’s a peaceful haven for those seeking beauty and inspiration.
Located above Estepona (between Marbella and Sotogrande), Gaucín combines the tranquillity of rural Andalusia with easy access to the Costa del Sol, Ronda, etc. Its unspoiled nature and its cultural depth attract a steady stream of visitors year-round because Gaucín is not only beautiful: it’s vibrant. With a strong cultural identity, the village hosts festivals, exhibitions, and events that bring together artists, writers, and travellers from around the world, creating a unique atmosphere that is both cosmopolitan and deeply Andalusian.
Located in the heart of the village, the hotel occupies traditional Andalusian buildings, full of character and charm. Carefully curated with a sense of place and artistic vision, the property offers:
- 6 spacious, individually styled guest rooms with en-suite bathrooms, each designed with a unique atmosphere inspired by art and nature.
- Breathtaking views of Gibraltar, North Africa, and the surrounding mountains from four of the rooms and the rooftop terrace with plunge pool
- A private penthouse apartment for the owner (with the potential to be converted into a rooftop bar + an additional guest suite with bathroom)
- A well-regarded restaurant, with indoor dining area and an outdoor terrace, rented out on a long-term basis, generating steady income
- A commercial unit at street level, also generating rental revenue
The entire property is sold fully furnished and operational, with an experienced, loyal team in place. It enjoys excellent ratings across major booking platforms and comes with a functional website, active social media, and an online reservation system — a turnkey opportunity to take over a well-established, much-loved hotel.
One of its strongest assets is its simple yet efficient management model, allowing for smooth daily operations. The current setup also makes remote management entirely feasible, offering flexibility for future owners.
This unique, family-run hotel has welcomed travellers for generations, evolving gracefully while retaining its original charm. Today, it offers a refined blend of history, creativity, and warm hospitality: ready for new owners to carry its legacy forward.
The current owners are stepping away as they reach retirement age. Under their care, the hotel has shown consistent year-on-year growth, with strong performance (with an excellent and steadily increasing occupancy rate, and a high proportion of direct bookings) and clear potential for further expansion.
Whether you're an experienced hotelier, an entrepreneur, or someone dreaming of a lifestyle change in one of Spain’s most beautiful regions, this is a rare opportunity to invest in both a profitable business and a distinctive way of life.
