A New Chapter in the Mediterranean: Meliá to Open a New Hotel in Sardinia and Double Its Italian Portfolio
Meliá Hotels International continues to expand its Mediterranean portfolio with the addition of a new hotel in one of Italy's most captivating coastal destinations. The company has announced the signing of the Hotel Corte Rosada, Affiliated by Meliá, a 4-star beachfront retreat set to open in summer 2025 in Alghero, on the island of Sardinia, located just 15 minutes from Alghero - Riviera del Corallo Airport. This strategic opening reinforces the Group's ambition to offer authentic leisure experiences in unique locations, while expanding its presence in Italy—from 8 operating hotels to a projected 15 properties by 2027.
Nestled along the pristine coast of Alghero, within the protected Porto Conte Regional Natural Park, Hotel Corte Rosada will offer guests an exceptional setting where nature, wellness, and the Mediterranean lifestyle converge. The hotel enjoys direct access to sandy beach and is surrounded by crystal-clearwater, lush pine forests, and dramatic cliffs, and scenic forest trails - making it ideal for both relaxation and outdoor exploration. The hotel will feature 152 rooms, a wellness centre, and a diverse range of dining options including a restaurant, bar, and breakfast venue—all designed to deliver a relaxed and immersive island experience.
Alghero, an enclave of Catalan origin and language, with a valuable historic center and ancient fortifications, located on Sardinia's northwestern coast, is a destination known for its natural beauty and cultural charm. With a vibrant old town and access to iconic sites such as Capo Caccia, Neptune's Grotto, Punta Giglio, and Monte Doglia, as well as its proximity to nature reserves, vineyards, and diving spots, it offers the perfect balance of sea, heritage, and outdoor adventure for modern travellers.
The Hotel Corte Rosada marks the second property by Meliá on the island—joining 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 is set to debut new properties in Venice and Milan later in 2025, reinforcing its commitment to key cultural and tourism hubs across the country.
