TOURISM

The Groupe Odalys distinguishes itself from its competitors by the variety of accommodation types available, ranging from mobile home campsites to chalets and luxury villas, holiday residences, holiday clubs, luxury residences, hotel apartments (Apart’hotels) in major city centers and traditional hotels. In total, this makes 20,000 holiday rentals where it is possible to stay for a week, overnight (getaway stay) or even a longer duration.

SITE MANAGEMENT

During its development, the Odalys Group has structured itself around three business lines: commercialization of its accommodation, management of its operations and administration of the property to the benefit of its customers. If the Groupe Odalys is not owner of the assets, it manages the property on behalf of private investors, institutions or communities that have entrusted the management of their heritage on a commercial lease or by mandate over a period of 9 to 11 years.
