Rafael Nadal’s Zel heading to Costa Brava
Zel, the hotel brand created by Meliá Hotels International and Rafael Nadal, has announced that its second property will open in Costa Brava.
Slated for Summer 2024, the opening will be followed by new hotels in Madrid, Sayulita (Mexico) and Punta Cana (Dominican Republic) in 2025.
Zel Costa Brava, owned by Azora and formerly the Pola Giverola Resort, is situated amidst 35 hectares of natural land. Comprising 214 rooms, the property is undergoing refurbishment that will see it aligning with the brand’s ethos and signature architecture, inspired by outdoor living. Dynamic outdoor spaces and biophilic design will be found in abundance, with the entrance to the resort transformed into an energic patio that will be the heart of the hotel. The space will house a specialty coffee corner, a concept store with products from local and international brands, a modern supermarket, lounges with reading and relaxation areas, and self-check-in kiosks.
“Our alliance with Rafael Nadal continues to progress and is embodied in this energetic hotel located in front of one of the most spectacular coastlines of the Mediterranean—Tossa de Mar,” says Gabriel Escarrer, founder of Meliá Hotels International. “This, along with the values of this asset and our collaboration with Rafa and partners like Azora, fills us with pride, affirming our belief that Zel Costa Brava will become an essential hotel destination for quality tourism in this area.”
Rafael Nadal adds: “[This is] a new Zel hotel in the Costa Brava, a Mediterranean area with many similarities to Mallorca, where the Zel concept originated. We are aware of the demands that this brand represents, and that is why we value moving forward with the expansion hand in hand with Meliá. Zel Costa Brava in a destination like Tossa de Mar offers everything the Zel customer expects in terms of nature and surroundings, authentic experiences and impeccable service.”
