An agile and determined accommodation provider looking to the future

who are we ?

Since its creation and the taking over of management of its first tourist residences (Odalys Vacances), the Odalys Group has built its success on its ability to understand and integrate the new lifestyles and holiday trends of its clients. It has never ceased to diversify, to conquer new clienteles such as businessmen and women (Odalys City) or students (Odalys Campus), to position itself in new market segments such as that of senior residences (Happy Senior), to raise its expectations in terms of services and leisure facilities offered, to integrate environmental certifications, and now to push back its borders by expanding in Europe as well as in French-speaking Africa.

Committed and invested, our teams pay the greatest attention to the needs of local councils in order to best support the development of their resorts, whether by the sea or in the mountains, in terms of architecture, positioning, reception capacity or equipment on offer.

AGILITY

Standing out from the crowd by diversifying

The Odalys Group has risen in just 20 years of existence to second place in Europe on the tourist and leisure accommodation market. This success has led the company over the years to pursue a diversification strategy around new brands: Odalys Campus for student residences, Odalys City in the city-centre apart’hotel market segment, Happy Senior in the senior residences market and then the most recent being Odalys Plein Air for the sale of residential mobile homes and Odalys Invest, a player specialising in rental property investment in furnished rentals on the secondary market.

AUDACITY

Always looking further ahead

Since its creation, the Odalys Group has continued to demonstrate its responsiveness and agility by adopting a policy of open communication, in France and now in Europe and French-speaking Africa, but also a plural diversification policy by positioning itself in particular in new market segments such as Happy Senior senior residences, or new activities such as the sale of residential mobile homes through its Odalys Plein Air brand.

Our strategy

The Odalys Group aims to continue to satisfy as much as possible the expectations of its clients while at the same time following a policy of plural diversification built around 3 main axes : a sustained development of its Odalys Vacances, City and Campus brands in France and overseas, a strategy of quality upgrading and the launch of new activities and concepts.

A policy of plural diversification

The Odalys Group started a policy of plural diversification five years ago in order to expand its borders beyond accommodation. An essential partner of communities and local economic life, the Odalys Group has gradually moved from the status of accommodation provider to that of a multi-business actor. A policy of diversification which has led it to expand the activity of its Odalys Plein Air brand to the sale of residential mobile homes in addition to the marketing of holidays, as well as to launch Nomad, a new concept of outdoor residential accommodation in harmony with nature.

Quality upgrading in the mountains

In order to attract new customers looking for space and comfort, the Odalys Group has implemented a strategy of quality upgrading, particularly in the mountains, with the upcoming openings of residences favouring architecture and decoration respectful of local particularities, in particular in Valmorel, Les 2 Alpes, Alpe d’Huez and La Rosiere before 2023.

Diversification on the City and student accommodation markets in France and abroad

By 2025, the Odalys Group aims to position itself as a key operator in the city-centre apart’hotel (Odalys City) and student residence (Odalys Campus) segments with the opening of 25 new addresses on the horizon for 2025 in France, Portugal (Porto, Lisbon), Spain (Seville) as well as in French-speaking Africa, with the opening of a first Odalys City residence in Cameroon in Douala at the end of 2022 and two other establishments in Abidjan (Ivory Coast) and Lomé (Togo) in partnership with the Duval Group.
