Hotels for sale in Turkey or Alanya

Türkiye’s hospitality sector is booming, making hotel investments highly attractive. In 2024 Turkey ranked 4th globally in tourist arrivals (about 62 million international visitors). This surge – aided by new airports (e.g. Istanbul’s new hub and expanded Antalya airport) – has made Turkey a year-round holiday destination. As property experts “now is the time to buy a hotel for sale in Turkey and cash in on Turkey’s ever-increasing tourist numbers”. Whether in Istanbul, coastal Antalya and Alanya, or other resort cities, hotels here enjoy high occupancy and repeat business, appealing to investors seeking steady income.

Hotels are a specialized asset class: they require operational expertise and often significant capital. Thus they typically attract experienced investors – for example, private equity funds, hotel chains, financial institutions or affluent individuals with hospitality knowledge. These buyers look for strong locations, solid financials, and existing management in place. The Turkish government also supports tourism projects: official sources note that “the government has various grant and support programs for entrepreneurs and investors who want to open a hotel including accessible hotels for disabled guests and healthcare-focused hotels supporting medical tourism. Incentives may include reduced taxes or utility costs on approved projects, and streamlined permitting for tourism facilities. Together, robust tourism growth and government backing help make hotel real estate an appealing opportunity for eligible investors.

Exclusive Hotels for Sale in Turkey

As a specialized hotel investment consultant, I represent one of the largest private hotel portfolios in Turkey, with over 417 verified hotels for sale across prime destinations. My listings range from boutique city hotels and seaside inns to large-scale 5-star resorts and branded hospitality assets, available only to qualified and serious investors.

Through my network, investors gain access to off-market and confidential hotel opportunities that are not publicly advertised. These include:

Boutique hotels starting from €500,000
Mid-scale city and resort hotels
Luxury beachfront resorts with hundreds of rooms, priced in the multi-million to billion-euro range
Specialized hospitality assets, including accessible hotels for disabled guests and healthcare-focused hotels supporting medical tourism

Many of these hotels already operate successfully, with established brands, repeat clientele, and proven cash flow, allowing investors to generate income immediately after acquisition.

I focus particularly on high-demand destinations such as Istanbul, Antalya (Alanya, Kemer, Belek), Bodrum, and Muğla, where hotels sell quickly due to strong tourism fundamentals. Unlike general real estate portals that show limited and often outdated listings, my database is actively managed, verified, and updated, ensuring investors receive accurate, actionable opportunities tailored to their investment goals.

Hotel investors and how the Turkish government helps

Serious hotel buyers seek turnkey opportunities and strong returns. They require deep market knowledge and thorough due diligence. In the words of an industry advisor, investors want “knowledge of the market to gauge the best opportunities; an experienced analytical approach to due diligence; the ability to negotiate compelling terms; and post-acquisition support to drive performance”. In practice, this means well-located hotels with clear financials, reliable management in place (or brand affiliation), and realistic expansion or exit plans.

Prime or strategic location
Clear title deed and licensing
Transparent financials and occupancy history
Existing management or brand affiliation (where applicable)
Realistic exit strategies and value-add potential

In addition to market strength, the Turkish government actively supports hotel investors through tourism-friendly policies. Investment programs include:

Reduced VAT and tax incentives for qualifying tourism projects
Utility cost reductions and infrastructure support
Tourism-zone licensing advantages
Regional investment incentive schemes, especially for cultural tourism, wellness, thermal, and medical tourism hotels

Combined with Turkey’s strong tourism demand, these incentives significantly improve ROI, operational sustainability, and long-term asset value.

Official reports note there is “still ample room for new ventures” in Turkey’s tourism industry, especially for boutique or unique properties in emerging areas. Land listings can be found in coastal and inland regions where authorities welcome new tourism projects.

Things to prepare before buying hotel in Turkey

I personally manage and prepare all documentation to ensure a smooth, confidential, and professional acquisition process:

Buyer application and documents: Complete the broker’s application form and gather ID, company records, financial statements, etc. (I will proved the form)
Proof of funds: Provide bank statements or letters to show you can finance the investment.
Authorization & confidentiality: Be ready to sign a confidentiality agreement and, if represented, a power of attorney for your representative.(a simple copy will be provided)
Brokerage fee/deposit: Budget for the agent’s commission (typically 2-3% of sale price) and any required deposit or good-faith payment.
Legal counsel: Have a Turkish attorney ready for due diligence, contract review, and title deed transfer.

Having these in order will streamline inspections and negotiations for any listed hotel.
