Meliá Hotels International and MiM Hotels, the boutique hospitality brand owned by global football legend Leo Messi, have announced a partnership under which Meliá has taken over management of the MiM Hotels portfolio. These properties will be incorporated into The Meliá Collection, the company’s “curated selection of unique, character-rich hotels.”

The MiM portfolio comprises six boutique hotels located in premier destinations across Spain—including Sitges, Sotogrande, Mallorca, Ibiza and Baqueira Beret—as well as in Andorra. Each property incorporates signature elements such as the exclusive “Messi Suite” and curated memorabilia, including a signed replica of the Ballon d’Or trophy.

MiM Hotels, according to Meliá, are known for their “sophisticated, contemporary design,” created by the likes of Luis Bustamante and Lázaro Rosa-Violán. Each property combines privileged locations with a strong commitment to sustainability and wellness. Thoughtfully designed wellness spaces offer hydrotherapy circuits, bespoke treatments and holistic relaxation. In destinations such as Sotogrande, Baqueira Beret and Andorra, wellness offerings are complemented by outdoor activities including golf, skiing and hiking.

On the culinary side, in select destinations (Baqueira, Andorra and Sotogrande) Michelin-starred chef Nandu Jubany leads the gastronomic vision, blending local ingredients with Argentine influences.

Each MiM hotel is distinct in style and market positioning, with segmentation that includes adults-only properties (MiM Mallorca, MiM Sitges and MiM Ibiza) and family-friendly options in Andorra, Sotogrande and Baqueira Beret. All MiM properties hold LEED certification, too.

The Meliá Collection current has 26 hotels open or under development in more than 12 countries.
