Meliá Hotels International continues to expand its Mediterranean portfolio with the addition of a new hotel in one of Italy's most charming coastal locations. The company has announced the signing of an agreement for Corte Rosada, a Meliá-affiliated 4-star beachfront hotel to open in summer 2025 in Alghero, on the island of Sardinia, just 15 minutes from Alghero-Riviera del Corallo Airport. This strategic opening underscores the Group's ambition to offer authentic experiences in unique locations, while expanding its presence in Italy from 8 existing hotels to a projected 15 properties by 2027.
Located on the unspoiled Alghero coast, within the protected Porto Conte Regional Natural Park, the Corte Rosada Hotel will offer guests an exceptional place where nature, wellness and the Mediterranean lifestyle come together. The hotel has direct access to a sandy beach and is surrounded by crystal clear water, lush pine forests, spectacular cliffs and scenic forest trails, making it the perfect place for both relaxation and outdoor activities. The hotel will feature 152 rooms, a wellness center and a variety of dining options, including a restaurant, bar and breakfast spot, all designed to provide a relaxed and exciting island vacation. Alghero, an enclave of Catalan origin and language, with a valuable historic center and ancient fortifications, located on the northwest coast of Sardinia, is a place known for its natural beauty and cultural charm. With a lively old town and access to iconic sites such as Capo Caccia, Neptune's Grotto, Punta Giglio and Monte Dolce, as well as proximity to nature reserves, vineyards and diving sites, it offers the perfect balance of sea, heritage and outdoor adventure for today's travelers. Corte Rosada is Meliá's second hotel on the island - following Bellevue Sardinia, Affiliated by Meliá, which opened in 2024 - and becomes the fifteenth hotel in the company's growing Italian portfolio.
In addition to Alghero, Meliá plans to open new hotels in Venice and Milan later in 2025, reaffirming its commitment to key cultural and tourist centers across the country. "Italy is a priority market for Meliá not only because of its tourism potential, but also because it is so closely aligned with our values of Mediterranean hospitality, lifestyle and excellent service," said Gabriel Escarrer, President and CEO of Meliá Hotels International. "We are proud to continue to expand in such an important destination and to do so with hotels that respect and enhance the natural and cultural beauty of their surroundings - such as this exciting new project in Alghero. With this new addition, Meliá Hotels International further strengthens its leadership in the leisure segment and reinforces its strategic expansion across the Mediterranean."
