Meliá Hotels International and Summum Hotel Group continue strengthening their growth alliance with the announcement of a new project in Begur (Girona province). The current Hotel Eetu Begur will join the Affiliated by Meliá portfolio this spring and will be managed by Summum Hotel Group. The property is owned by the private equity fund AX Partners, which will transform the building into a 5-star hotel. Throughout the year, the establishment will be completely renovated and expanded to align with the Meliá Hotels & Resorts brand, becoming Meliá Begur from 2026.
Located in the heart of the Empordà, the old town of Begur, the small Romanesque village of Esclanyà, and its extensive coastline form an unparalleled Mediterranean landscape. The hotel is situated in the exclusive Aiguablava bay, a unique setting with access to the most exclusive coves and beaches in the region, such as Platja Fonda, Cala de Malaret, and the Fornells area. Currently, it has 42 rooms, which will be expanded to 65 after the renovation. Additionally, the hotel offers various dining options, a pool, a spa, a gym, and meeting rooms, making it a versatile destination for both leisure and business travelers.
The future Meliá Begur will become a true premium retreat, where contemporary style merges with the warmth and hospitality characteristic of Meliá Hotels & Resorts. Designed to offer maximum comfort, this brand promises an experience where every detail is tailored to the well-being of its guests.
The collaboration between Meliá and Summum is strengthened with this project, now totaling five joint initiatives and continuing the expansion of luxury and premium hospitality offerings in Spain. The Costa Brava, specifically Begur, is experiencing growth in luxury tourism, evidenced by an increasing demand for exclusive accommodations and personalized services.
With this new opening, Meliá Hotels International reaffirms its commitment to sustainable and quality tourism development on the Costa Brava, while also consolidating its presence in Catalonia with sixteen hotels. For Summum Hotel Group, the entry into Begur marks a milestone in its expansion and reinforces its positioning in the premium and luxury segments in Spain. With Meliá Begur, both hotel groups aim to offer a high-quality tourism experience, reflecting the tourism model they promote.
Javier Vich, CEO of Summum Hotel Group, states:
"This new project strengthens our firm commitment to managing hotels in unique destinations, always with a personalized and demanding vision of excellence. With the Hotel Eetu Begur, we now have five hotels in our alliance with Meliá, which consolidates our strategic collaboration with the group and reaffirms our commitment to quality, sustainable tourism with a unique identity."
Meanwhile, as explained by Aleix Recasens, founding partner of AX Partners:
"We are committed to adding value to unique assets, small hotel gems located in the best locations. Projects that excite our investors and society, contribute to quality tourism, and allow us to provide attractive, sustained returns with low risk. Our goal is to be the reference investment fund for private investors investing in iconic hotel assets on the Spanish Mediterranean."
