2602 Mins Read
This year, the Cugó Gran Collection is proudly celebrating its 10th anniversary, marking a decade of redefining heritage luxury through authenticity, elegance, and an uncompromising dedication to excellence.
Since opening its first property in 2015, the brand has become a symbol of refined hospitality, known for its discreet service, immersive experiences, and deep respect for the cultural and historical landscapes in which it operates.
The journey began with the launch of Cugó Gran Menorca, a tranquil estate that set the tone for the Collection’s philosophy: creating more than just luxury hotels, but meaningful places where guests feel connected to their surroundings.
Building on this vision, in 2018 the Collection introduced Cugó Gran Macina Malta, a striking transformation of a 16th-century bastion into a celebrated Design Hotels™ member overlooking the Grand Harbour. Both properties epitomised the Cugó Gran ethos, blending history and modern design with warmth, authenticity, and personalised service.
In 2022, the Collection expanded its guest experience with The Little Bastion, an award-winning Mediterranean restaurant in Isla, Malta. More than a dining venue, it became an expression of the brand’s commitment to local culture, gastronomy, and community.
Over the past decade, Cugó Gran has also embraced forward-looking initiatives, introducing wellness retreats, sustainability programmes, and digital innovation to meet the evolving needs of the modern luxury traveller. Each step reflected the brand’s founding vision of offering experiences that are deeply personal, authentic, and responsible.
“From the very beginning, our vision with Cugó Gran Collection was to create something beyond the traditional five-star experience; something deeply rooted in place, culture, and integrity. Reaching the 10-year mark is not just a milestone, it is a testament to the values we’ve upheld: authenticity, honesty, and a relentless pursuit of excellence,” said Sven von der Heyden, Founder of Cugó Gran Collection.
Looking ahead, the brand remains committed to honouring its heritage while embracing the future.
Later this year, in fact, the Collection will expand once more with the opening of Cugó Gran Vittoriosa in Malta’s historic Three Cities, a new property that will mark the beginning of an exciting new chapter and a confident step into the next decade of meaningful luxury hospitality.
“This anniversary is a celebration of everything that defines our Cugó Gran brand, from our dedication to heritage to our unwavering commitment to quality and our deep connection to place,” added Samuel Santos Gordillo, CEO of Cugó Gran Collection.
“As we look back on our journey, we also look forward to the next decade with a renewed commitment to creating experiences that are as timeless as they are transformative.”
