The Atom Hoteles Socimi has formalized the sale of the Eurostars Las Salinas hotel, located in the tourist enclave of Caleta de Fuste (Fuerteventura), for an amount of 51 million euros. With this operation, the company complies with its asset rotation plan planned for the year 2026. The four-star asset is located on the seafront in Playa del Castillo and has a total of 223 accommodation units, including rooms, suites and villas equipped with a private pool. The complex is characterized by a comprehensive proposal that combines vacation and family tourism with restaurant services, sports areas, tennis courts and a spa and wellness center. A differentiating element of the operation is the inclusion of the shopping gallery integrated into the asset itself. This space, located on the seafront, consists of 20 stores that house boutiques and restaurant establishments, of which only two are currently in the final phase of commercialization. According to the firm, the opening of a new gastronomic concept is planned in the coming months to reinforce the leisure offer in the area. In terms of sustainability, the hotel has BREEAM certification and an A energy rating, factors that Atom Hotels links directly to its strategic commitment to energy efficiency. After this divestment, which adds to another recent movement in its portfolio, the Socimi now manages a portfolio made up of 21 hotel assets and a total of 5,265 rooms, maintaining its leadership position as an investment platform in the Spanish market. The company wanted to highlight the history of collaboration with Grupo Hotusa, operator of this establishment and other assets it owns such as the Exe Coruña or the Exe Rey Don Jaime.
