Jessica Bataille Group is a lifestyle, communication, and design company built over 30 years around a single conviction: the future of luxury is not a product — it is a platform. Not a virtual one, but a physical one. One made of streets, buildings, services, culture, and community rather than screens, followers, and algorithms.

Our practice spans architecture, interior design, residential development, asset management, lifestyle services, and operational technology. Over three decades, these disciplines have evolved from separate offerings into a single integrated system.

The last decade was defined by virtual platforms — digital spaces with users, followers, content, and community built entirely online. The next decade will be defined by their physical equivalents: places with the same structural logic but existing in the real world, with real texture, real relationships, and real permanence.

What we have built in Javea is not a portfolio of projects. It is an orbital system — a living ecosystem structured in concentric layers around the Jessica Bataille brand and philosophy.

Avenida Alicante — the historic main street of Javea's old town — is the physical spine of our urban ecosystem. We have acquired four to six buildings on this street, including rear plots that expand development potential with pools, gardens, and outdoor living spaces.

The Integrated Program

The Precedent: Lola

At the western edge of Javea's urban fabric, on a 32,700 m² site, sits the Tosalet — a former private club created in 1967 by Dona Julia, one of Spain's first female entrepreneurs. The original concept was visionary: a compound model combining residential community, social club, and selective membership.

The Physical Asset & Functional Program

Why This Club Is Different: The Community Already Exists

We are, above all, a service culture company. Not in the conventional hospitality sense — in the deeper sense that genuine service is an expression of respect, of intelligence applied to another person's life, of care made operational.

The surfaces matter. The materials matter. The way a floor feels underfoot, the quality of light through a window, the smell of a garden in the morning — these are not decorative considerations. They are expressions of a philosophy of health, of living well, of treating the physical environment as a direct contributor to human flourishing.

We are building the social, cultural, and physical infrastructure for a Mediterranean community that is wealthy, internationally mobile, health-conscious, intellectually curious, and deeply rooted in a place they have chosen deliberately.

To build this well, we need the right people around us. Not just professionals — people of genuine quality: honest, driven, capable of holding a long-term vision and making it real, day by day, in the thousands of decisions that no document can anticipate.

Es Raco d'Arta (Mallorca) is a 5-star retreat created by two friends — an architect and a builder — who acquired an abandoned 13th-century estate and transformed it into an internationally recognised wellness and design destination. No external investor, no hotel operator, no franchise. Today it is affiliated with Design Hotels (Marriott Bonvoy) for global distribution, while ownership, management, and creative direction remain 100% with the founders.

Es Raco proves that a founder-led retreat can reach the highest segment of the global market. But Es Raco is a hotel. Tosalet can be something more: a physical platform with multiple layers of value.

Es Raco was self-financed. Tosalet will require a more sophisticated structure, aligned with the capital profile JBG seeks: patient, aesthetically sensitive, without short-term pressure.

Es Raco d'Arta is proof that two people with vision, craft, and passion for a territory can create a world-class asset without a hotel chain, an investment fund, or an external brand. They did it with stone, lime, and patience.

Jessica and Jean have all of that — and they also have something that Esteva and Danus did not: a business ecosystem built over 27 years, an international community of clients who already trust the brand, and a platform vision that transcends the concept of hospitality.
