ZEL Costa Brava

The DNA

ZEL Costa Brava – Mediterranean Living, Recharged
Where Rafael Nadal’s Vision Meets Costa Brava Cool


A New Chapter in Coastal Hospitality

Following the sun-soaked success of ZEL Mallorca, tennis icon Rafael Nadal and Meliá Hotels International return with their bold second act: ZEL Costa Brava. Tucked into one of Spain’s most cinematic coastlines, this resort is a contemporary tribute to Mediterranean life—where the lines between inside and out dissolve into one seamless, sunlit rhythm.


Al Fresco, By Design

At the heart of ZEL Costa Brava is a vibrant central patio—part social hub, part design playground. Guests flow through a specialty coffee bar, a concept store stocked with curated brands, self-check-in kiosks, and cozy reading lounges. It’s casual, confident hospitality that feels more like a Mediterranean village square than a hotel lobby.


Food, Flow, and Freedom

ZEL Costa Brava leans into its roots with flavor-forward gastronomy inspired by the region’s coastal bounty. Expect open kitchens, easy elegance, and communal tables built for lingering long after the plates are cleared. The resort’s newly updated sports and wellness facilities balance active days with blissful downtime—from sunrise yoga to sea-view swims and everything in between.


Modern Comfort with a Soulful Accent

Rooms and shared spaces follow the ZEL ethos of laid-back luxury—clean lines, natural textures, and plenty of light and air. This is not about flash, but freedom—a retreat that feels like summer, no matter the season.


DNA Hotels Verdict

ZEL Costa Brava is Mediterranean vitality, reimagined. With its village-style energy, bold sense of place, and effortless connection to the outdoors, this second chapter in the ZEL story proves the brand is more than a concept—it’s a movement in the making.
