Beachfront First
Every listing states the distance from the hotel to the shoreline. Our view of the beach itself is part of the investment analysis.
What We Do
Hotel Ownership Without Running a Hotel
We find beachfront hotels that sell rooms to private buyers, check them, and introduce our members. The developer normally pays our commission.
Run by a Hotel Management Company
Each hotel is run day to day by the developer's own team or an international hotel brand. Each listing names who manages it.
Every Figure Sourced
We set out the risks, costs and open questions in writing, and put our own downside case beside the developer's projection.
Your Money in Escrow
Deposits go to an independent Cyprus law firm's escrow account, or the account the hotel's country requires by law. Aonios never holds client money.
Two Ways to Own
A Whole Room, or a Fractional Share
The same hotels, two routes in. Compare them line by line.
Whole Room
A Room in Your Own Name
You buy directly from the developer and your name goes on the title deed. We introduce you, check the hotel and stay with you to completion.
- You own
- The room itself
- Title deed
- In your name
- You buy from
- The developer
- Entry
- The full price of a room, from about €53,000 on our current selection
- Income
- The hotel management company pays the room's net income directly to you, on your agreement's schedule
- Owner stays
- As the hotel's owner programme allows; each listing states the nights where the developer confirms them
- Ways to pay
- Bank transfer to escrow, the developer's payment plan, stage payments on off-plan hotels, or a mortgage where available
- Leaving
- You sell the room, under the hotel's resale rules
- Suits
- Buyers who want direct title and full control of one room
Fractional Share
A Share, Through a Hotel Company
A Cyprus company set up by Aonios for that hotel, or for that room, buys the room and holds the title deed. Aonios Limited manages it. You own shares in proportion to what you put in.
- You own
- Shares in the hotel company, entered in its register of members
- Title deed
- In the name of the hotel company
- You buy from
- The hotel company, which buys the room from the developer
- Entry
- Your share of one room's total cost, including buying costs. The minimum is set for each hotel
- Income
- Paid to the company, then paid out to shareholders every quarter by shareholding, after the company's running costs, with a statement
- Owner stays
- Allocated as the shareholders' agreement sets out
- Ways to pay
- Bank transfer to escrow from an account in your own name. No mortgage
- Leaving
- Sell your shares to other shareholders or an approved buyer. There is no guaranteed buyer
- Suits
- Investors who want part of a branded hotel for a smaller amount
Either way, the hotel management company runs the hotel, the developer normally pays our commission, and we disclose that commission to you in writing before you commit.
How a Share Is Worked Out
Your Share Is Your Contribution Divided by the Room's Total Cost
Five owners buy one room together through a hotel company that Aonios sets up and manages. Each owns shares in proportion to what they put in, and receives that proportion of the room's net income and of the sale proceeds.
Illustration only. The figures are not a hotel on our selection and are not a forecast of income or value.
Room's total cost, including buying costs€250,000
| Owner | Puts in | Shareholding |
|---|---|---|
| Owner A | €75,000 | 30% |
| Owner B | €62,500 | 25% |
| Owner C | €50,000 | 20% |
| Owner D | €37,500 | 15% |
| Owner E | €25,000 | 10% |
Why Aonios
Checked. Escrowed. Disclosed.
Checked
Before any hotel is listed, Aonios Screening runs ten checks on the developer, the land, the hotel brand, the payment route and the contract. A hotel that fails is not listed.
- Verification included in membership: Aonios's own checks, plus a local lawyer on title, permits and the contract
- No separate verification fee
Escrowed
Your deposit goes to an independent Cyprus law firm's escrow account, or to the account the hotel's country requires by law. Aonios never receives your money.
- Stage payments on off-plan hotels released only on a construction monitor's certificate
- Identity and source-of-funds checks at reservation
Disclosed
Our commission is in writing before you commit. Members receive the Full Investor File: the developer's material, our open questions and our downside case.
- Quarterly reports in the same format in good and bad quarters
- A yearly review of results against the developer's projection

A Named Person Behind Every Introduction
Ilias Nikolas Markos
Founder, Aonios Limited · Real Estate Strategist

Aonios Limited is a private company registered in Cyprus, company number HE 475524, at Atlantidos 8, 6058 Larnaca. You can check it on the Cyprus Registrar of Companies register.
Questions
Whole Room or Share: Common Questions
What exactly do I own with a fractional share?
Shares in the hotel company, entered in its register of members. The company owns the room and holds its title deed. You do not own the room directly.
How is the minimum for a fractional share set?
It is set for each hotel and stated in the Full Investor File before you commit. Your shareholding is your contribution divided by the room's total cost, including buying costs.
How is income paid?
On a whole room, the hotel management company pays the room's net income directly to you. On a fractional share, it pays the company, and the company pays shareholders every quarter in proportion to their shares, after its running costs, with a statement.
Can I use the room myself?
Most hotels give owners nights each year; each card states the number where the developer has confirmed it. On a fractional share, owner stays are allocated as the shareholders' agreement sets out.
Can I sell later?
A whole room can be sold under the hotel's resale rules. Fractional shares can be sold to other shareholders or an approved buyer under the shareholders' agreement. There is no guaranteed buyer, and shares in a private company can be hard to sell.
Who pays Aonios?
Normally the developer pays our commission when a purchase completes. We disclose it to you in writing before you commit.
