A new adults-only boutique hotel has arrived in Sitges, bringing contemporary Mediterranean design, Italian-inspired dining and intimate wellness experiences to one of Catalonia’s most characterful seaside towns.
CASA METT Sitges officially opened on August 1, 2026, just 100 meters from the beach and a short walk from the town’s historic center. The five-star retreat occupies five protected heritage villas formerly home to Hotel Capri, combining their original architectural character with a thoroughly modern approach to coastal hospitality.
Heritage meets contemporary Mediterranean design
Rather than taking the form of a conventional resort, CASA METT Sitges unfolds across a collection of five villas surrounded by protected gardens. The smaller scale gives the property a residential atmosphere while keeping guests close to Sitges’ beaches, restaurants, galleries and lively social scene.
The historic buildings have been restored with an emphasis on natural materials, warm colors and light-filled interiors. Period architectural details remain part of the experience, but the overall aesthetic is relaxed and contemporary rather than formal.
There are 38 rooms and suites divided among five categories, ranging from compact Cozy Rooms to the 60-square-meter Lifestyle Terrace Room. Many accommodations include private outdoor space, while interiors are designed around neutral tones and understated Mediterranean textures.
The result is a hotel that feels connected to its surroundings—a quality that has become increasingly important in a destination known for its architectural heritage, creative community and open-minded culture.

Italian flavors beside the Mediterranean
Dining at the hotel centers on Balera, an Italian-Mediterranean restaurant inspired by the leisurely pace of summers along the Italian coast.
The menu draws on seasonal ingredients and familiar coastal dishes, including antipasti, fresh pasta, seafood, premium meats and artisanal pizzettas. Traditional desserts such as homemade tiramisu complete the experience, accompanied by a wine list featuring local and international labels and cocktails inspired by different regions of Italy.
Balera is designed for unhurried lunches and social evenings rather than strictly scheduled dining. Its convivial character carries through to the hotel’s Pool Club, where music, cocktails and the outdoor swimming pool create a relaxed gathering place throughout the day.
This focus on shared meals and easygoing social spaces feels well suited to Sitges, a town where café terraces, seaside promenades and late dinners are an essential part of everyday life.
Wellness by Valmont
CASA METT Sitges also includes an intimate wellness area using products from Swiss skincare brand Valmont. Facial and body treatments are intended to complement the slower rhythm of a coastal stay, with options ranging from restorative massages to personalized skincare rituals.
The wellness facilities include individual treatment spaces, a double treatment room for couples and a sauna with a shower. A Life Fitness-equipped gym provides areas for cardio, strength and mobility training.
While the wellness offering is smaller than that of a large destination spa, its scale reflects the intimate character of the hotel. Treatments can be incorporated into a day spent exploring Sitges or reserved as part of a quiet afternoon away from the beach.
Gardens and gatherings
The property’s protected gardens cover more than 580 square meters, providing outdoor space for cocktails, private celebrations and small gatherings. A 140-square-meter glass pergola can be opened or enclosed depending on the weather, allowing it to accommodate meetings, dinners and special events throughout the year.
These spaces extend the hotel beyond its guestrooms and reinforce its social focus. Guests can move between the gardens, pool, restaurant and terraces without the atmosphere feeling overly programmed.
A coastal alternative to Barcelona
Located approximately 40 kilometers southwest of central Barcelona, Sitges works equally well as a standalone seaside escape or as an addition to a city break. Barcelona–El Prat Airport is around 28 kilometers from the hotel, while Sitges railway station provides direct connections with Barcelona.
Beyond its beaches, the town is known for its whitewashed old quarter, museums, independent shops and distinctive cultural identity. The Church of Sant Bartomeu i Santa Tecla and Palau de Maricel are among the landmarks within easy reach of the hotel.
Golf, sailing, kayaking and paddleboarding can all be arranged nearby. The surrounding Penedès wine region also makes it possible to combine a stay with vineyard visits and tastings of Catalan wines and cava, including Sitges’ historic Malvasia variety.
With its heritage setting, limited room count and adults-only policy, CASA METT Sitges offers a more intimate alternative to the larger resorts found elsewhere along the Mediterranean. It is particularly well positioned for couples, design-conscious travelers and visitors who want access to Barcelona while staying close to the sea.
