A new five-star hotel is set to open in Estepona on the Costa del Sol next month, in August. It is the first METT Hotels & Beach Resorts in Spain, and has 249 rooms and suites all with sea views, as the resort is located on the seafront.

METT Hotels & Resorts is developing a collection of lifestyle resorts in unique locations. It was created by Sunset Hospitality Group, founded in 2011, with the vision of creating unique hospitality experiences around the world, and the parent company is already present in nine countries with 26 brands.

The CEO of Sunset Hospitality Group, Antonio González, said "We are delighted to bring the METT brand to the Costa del Sol. It is an amazing location and fits perfectly with the spirit of our brand. We look forward to welcoming guests and continuing to spread the spirit of the brand following the success of METT Hotel & Beach Resort in Bodrum.”

The hotel's opening in Estepona, just a few minutes' drive from Marbella, proposes "a design where luxury stands out in its lightest and most relaxed form", the company said in a press release, “where locals and guests can enjoy four gastronomic concepts including the Isola Ristorante Italiano; Ammos Greek Restaurant, recently opened in Ibiza specialising in Mediterranean food; Azure Beach, with a more relaxed character, and El Bar de Lola located in the centre of the resort with international dishes by the pool and the beach.”

There is also a fitness and wellness centre and the 500-square-metre MOI spa, designed to soothe, pamper and de-stress.

The group emphasized that this new five-star hotel is "inspired by the balance of Mediterranean life”. The design combines modern minimalism with the charm of Andalusian style. Building materials and furnishings are chosen from natural, local and sustainable resources. Natural materials feature including wood and terracotta, while natural fabrics such as linen and organic cotton demonstrate the company's commitment to sustainable development and the implementation of measures aligned with the principles of sustainable tourism.

All materials are recycled and recyclable, and nothing will be made of plastic. This commitment to sustainability includes zero kilometre products in the kitchens, to favour the local market and suppliers.

The hotel also has four charging points for electric vehicles. In the same way, photovoltaic panels have been installed to generate electricity for self-consumption. The air conditioning installations have been designed to offer solutions focused on energy efficiency.
