Running a hotel or villa is as rewarding as it is demanding. Behind every guest check-in, gourmet meal, or sunset by the pool lies a business exposed to risks. From unexpected accidents to large-scale disasters, even one incident can disrupt operations and cause serious financial loss.
The good news? With the right hotel and villa insurance, you can safeguard your property, staff, and guests while keeping your business future-ready. Here are the 10 most common risks hospitality properties face — and how insurance helps you stay protected.
1. Theft & Burglary
