About Adrar Hotel

Adrar Hotel Investment Vision

A unique opportunity to invest in Mauritania's first luxury heritage hotel with exceptional ROI potential and first-mover advantage in a protected UNESCO zone.

The Adrar Hotel represents a pioneering venture in Mauritania's emerging tourism sector. Located in the heart of the Sahara, just 28 minutes from the UNESCO World Heritage site of Chinguetti, this project combines authentic Saharan hospitality with international luxury standards. With tourism to Mauritania increasing by 35% annually and minimal competition in the luxury segment, Adrar Hotel is positioned to capture significant market share while preserving and celebrating the region's rich cultural heritage.

Opening in October 2026, the hotel will feature 20+ rooms and suites designed with bioclimatic principles that respond to the extreme desert environment while maintaining modern comfort and energy efficiency. This is more than a hotel—it's a gateway to one of Africa's most authentic cultural destinations.

Strategic Location & Market Opportunity

The Adrar region is home to Chinguetti, one of Islam's seven holy cities and a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1996. Despite its cultural significance and growing visitor numbers, the area lacks quality accommodation that meets international standards. Adrar Hotel fills this critical gap by offering luxury travelers a comfortable base for exploring one of the world's most remarkable desert landscapes while generating sustainable returns for investors through a proven 50/50 partnership model with projected 26% ROI by Year 2.

Bioclimatic Design Philosophy

The hotel's architectural design embraces bioclimatic principles that have sustained Saharan communities for centuries. By integrating traditional building techniques with modern sustainability practices, Adrar Hotel achieves exceptional thermal comfort with minimal energy consumption. The design features thick earthen walls for thermal mass, strategic ventilation systems, shaded courtyards, and locally-sourced materials that reduce environmental impact while celebrating Mauritanian architectural heritage.

Partnership Structure & Timeline

The Adrar Hotel operates under a 50/50 partnership model between international investors and T'Ore Mauritania, the local operating partner with extensive experience in Mauritanian tourism and hospitality. Construction begins November 2025 with completion scheduled for August 2026, allowing for final preparations before the October 2026 grand opening. This timeline positions the hotel to capture the peak 2026-2027 tourism season while the partnership structure ensures operational expertise and deep local market knowledge.
