The investment landscape in Crete in 2026 is definitively shifting away from the model of purely hotel-based accommodation toward the development of complex tourism projects that combine hospitality with real estate. This session analyzes the dynamics of Mixed-Use Resorts, where the integration of Branded Residences within a hotel property is no longer just an emerging trend, but a strategic choice that ensures immediate liquidity, diversification of revenue streams, and a significant increase in the overall value of the investment. Through an examination of the landmark projects currently under development on the island, the session explores how the combination of lifestyle services and permanent residences is redefining Crete’s tourism product and creating new opportunities for local and international investors seeking long-term profitability.
