Transaction overview
Greece-based hospitality group Domes Resorts acquired a majority stake in Berlin-headquartered Casa Collective on April 13, 2026. The deal saw Goldman Sachs act as financial advisor to Domes Resorts, though specific financial details such as the exact deal value and equity/debt split were not disclosed. Casa Collective operates a portfolio of 13 hotels across three brand concepts: Cook’s Club, a luxury adults-only beach club resort; Casa Cook, an adults-only boutique hotel brand; and XIA, a new family-oriented hospitality concept.
Deal structure and financing
While the precise financial details remain undisclosed, Goldman Sachs facilitated Domes Resorts' acquisition of a controlling interest in Casa Collective. The deal allowed Casa Collective to retain operational independence while strengthening its capital base under the umbrella of Domes Resorts. Berlin-based tourism innovation studio Vision Alphabet founder Remo Masala also retained his role as a shareholder and creative partner for XIA and other Casa Collective brands, indicating some level of seller-side equity retention post-transaction.
Strategic context
Domes Resorts' acquisition of a majority stake in Casa Collective marks its strategic move to expand into the European hotel market with diverse brand concepts. This expansion aligns with Domes Resorts’ ambition to offer hotel owners and partners a robust platform for growth while preserving each brand's unique identity and guest experience. For Casa Collective, this partnership provides financial stability and operational support as it continues to scale up its hospitality offerings across different segments like luxury beach clubs, boutique hotels, and family resorts.
Regulatory path
The transaction did not involve any significant regulatory hurdles due to the nature of the deal being a majority stake acquisition rather than a full merger or asset transfer. The European Commission was not involved in reviewing this transaction as it fell below the relevant thresholds for mandatory filings under EU competition law. Given that both Domes Resorts and Casa Collective are headquartered within the European Union, any regulatory scrutiny would have been limited to voluntary notifications to local authorities if required by specific national regulations.
