Company Background/Culture
The LBRI Group is a fast-growing, innovative, and differentiated resort player.

Their target customer base is the “affluent” clientele, a large and growing market whose needs are poorly served by traditional players, in particular in the Mediterranean.

LBRI is actively pursuing new acquisition opportunities in an international level. LBRI owns a portfolio of 9 beachfront properties in Greece.
Ikos International, a sister company of LBRI with its dedicated management team, has been set up to develop Ikos properties in the Iberic peninsula.
