Intrepid Travel Acquires Properties in Tasmania and Morocco

Intrepid Travel has acquired two boutique accommodation properties as part of its strategy to become a vertically integrated sustainable travel brand by 2030. The company announced the purchase of a 20-room coastal resort in Tasmania, Australia, and a 17-room riad in Marrakech, Morocco.

The Tasmania property, Edge of the Bay, is located in Coles Bay with views of Wineglass Bay. Originally opened in 1980 by the Johnston family, the resort sits on 18 acres of land with views over Wineglass Bay and The Hazards mountain range. Intrepid plans to refresh the property and develop nature-based activities and environmental education programs in partnership with Greening Australia, an Intrepid Foundation partner focused on landscape restoration. The company will also engage with the traditional owners of the land, the Palawa people, to conduct a cultural heritage assessment.

In Marrakech, Intrepid acquired a 17-room traditional Moroccan guesthouse covering 470 square meters, located within five minutes' walk of the medina. The property will begin operations in July 2025 and will offer culinary experiences through collaboration with The Amal Association, a local nonprofit that provides hospitality training and job placement for women. Guests will have access to cultural experiences in the nearby Atlas Mountains.

These acquisitions follow Intrepid's 2023 purchase of the Daintree Ecolodge in Australia and a multi-year lease on a hotel in Hoi An, Vietnam. The company plans to expand its boutique accommodation portfolio to 20 properties by 2027.

"Our approach to accommodation is underpinned by a commitment to preserving culture, fostering connection, supporting communities and boosting travel's economic contribution within the local community," said James Thornton, CEO of Intrepid Travel.

The accommodation expansion supports Intrepid's growth in North America, where the company recently opened regional headquarters in Seattle.

"At the heart of this strategy is Intrepid's accommodation philosophy: to offer an immersive stay that acts as a gateway to explore the destination and connect meaningfully to its community, culture and environment, while providing a comfortable base to relax," said Celine Hurele, general manager of accommodation at Intrepid.

The properties will be available for booking independently of Intrepid tours.
