Over the last few years, new types of accommodation have been springing up on the tourist rental market: igloos, hobbit cabins, tree or lake houses, transparent bubbles, gypsy caravans, troglodyte houses, yurts, tiny houses, tree houses, teepees, boats and barges, domes, lodges, lov'nid, etc. The list goes on and on, and you can offer your guests a whole new experience.
These offers meet a need for a change of scenery among tourists, who are often looking for a complete change of scenery for a modest budget during a short stay.

Buying a tourist property with unusual accommodation will enable you to make a capital investment while developing a tourist business. On our website, you'll find properties that are already operating as tourist accommodation.
By buying one or more unusual tourist accommodations that are already in operation, you will have the advantage of being able to draw on existing profitability to finance your project. You can expect to earn seasonal rental income very quickly from holidaymakers who have already registered at the time of purchase. You may also be able to buy the existing furniture in each of the properties, so you'll be up and running straight away.
You can also buy a rural property and develop your atypical accommodation business. Or why not complement an existing tourist activity (gîte, guest house, campsite) with this new offering.
You can make your own accommodation or buy it from specialist manufacturers.
Here are a few useful points to know before embarking on your project to create an unusual accommodation.
Contact your local council to present your project and check its feasibility before making any investment. Not all plots of land are suitable for this type of accommodation, and the standards to be met will depend in particular on the number of beds planned.
Do your market research by analysing the existing market in the region where you want to develop your project.
Work on your business plan, i.e. your profitability forecast, taking into account the amount of your investment and future income. Contact people who have already developed this activity to get references.
Avoid copying the services of your future competitors. Instead, try to develop a unique offering.
And finally, work on the commercial angle to publicise your offer through partnerships, a website, advertising campaigns, etc.
The profitability of an unusual accommodation depends above all on your occupancy rate, i.e. the number of overnight stays sold in the course of a year. The location of your business will be a determining factor in the success of your project, as it will strongly influence the number of customers.
The 2nd element of profitability will be the ratio between the amount of your initial investment and the price per night (differentiating between high and low season).
Unusual accommodation often costs less than traditional accommodation. If the additional services you provide enable you to rent at an attractive rate, you will greatly improve the profitability of your tourist investment.
