The MiM portfolio spans premier destinations across Spain and Andorra, including Sitges, Sotogrande, Mallorca, Ibiza and Baqueira Beret.
Each property embodies Messi's personal vision of luxury hospitality, featuring exclusive elements like the signature "Messi Suite" and curated memorabilia, including signed Ballon d'Or trophy replicas. The hotels will operate under a lease agreement while maintaining their distinctive identity.
The properties are celebrated for their sophisticated contemporary design by acclaimed interior designers Luis Bustamante and Lázaro Rosa-Violán. Each combines privileged locations with strong commitments to sustainability and wellness, targeting discerning travelers with personalized service and curated experiences.
Culinary excellence distinguishes several locations, where Michelin-starred chef Nandu Jubany presents his unique gastronomic vision through his HINCHA restaurant concept. His approach blends local ingredients with Argentine influences in a relaxed yet refined style, available in Baqueira, Andorra, and Sotogrande.

The portfolio includes both adults-only properties—MiM Mallorca, MiM Sitges, and MiM Ibiza—and family-friendly options in Andorra, Sotogrande, and Baqueira Beret.
Several hotels also accommodate small-scale professional meetings and conferences. All properties hold LEED certification, the internationally recognized benchmark for sustainable building practices.
Gabriel Escarrer, Chairman and CEO of Meliá Hotels International, emphasized the partnership's strength: "The complementarity between MiM Hotels and The Meliá Collection creates a compelling value proposition for discerning travelers—driven by the inspiration of a global icon like Leo Messi and the proven expertise of a leading hospitality group like Meliá."
The integration allows MiM Hotels to preserve their unique character while accessing Meliá's global distribution network and loyalty platforms across its 26-hotel collection spanning more than 12 countries.
