Boutique hotel in Fuerteventura. The Montebalito developer continues to strengthen its presence in the Canary archipelago with a new premium tourism project on the island. The company plans the development of an exclusive boutique hotel in the town of El Cotillo, within the municipality of La Oliva, one of the destinations with the greatest attraction and tourist growth on the island. The establishment will have 14 rooms and will be located in the historic center of the coastal town, specifically on the Muelle Chico Beach. The offer will be completed with services such as a restaurant, swimming pool, rooftop and solarium.
