This year marks a significant milestone for the Cugó Gran Collection as the renowned luxury hospitality brand celebrates its 10th anniversary. Since its inception in 2015 with the launch of Cugó Gran Menorca, Cugó Gran has become synonymous with refined elegance, discreet service, and immersive experiences rooted in cultural authenticity.

To commemorate this decade of excellence, Cugó Gran Collection will later on this year open the new boutique hotel – Cugó Gran Vittoriosa – a landmark property located in the heart of Malta’s historic Three Cities. The new hotel promises to embody the core values of the brand while offering a fresh interpretation of heritage luxury, situated just moments from the iconic Grand Harbour.

“This anniversary is a celebration of everything that defines Cugó Gran – our unwavering commitment to quality, our dedication to heritage, and our deep connection to place,” said Samuel Santos Gordillo, CEO at Cugó Gran Collection. “With the launch of Cugó Gran Vittoriosa, we honour our past while looking confidently toward the future of meaningful luxury hospitality.”

A journey of excellence
Cugó Gran Collection began with a vision to create more than just luxury hotels. It set out to craft experiences that resonate. From the tranquil estate of Cugó Gran Menorca to the iconic 16th-century bastion housing Cugó Gran Macina Malta, each property has embraced and elevated its surroundings, blending thoughtful design with personalised service.
Over the last 10 years, the brand has expanded its footprint and refined its offering to include wellness retreats, curated gastronomy, and sustainable initiatives that are as forward-thinking as they are responsible.

“From the very beginning, our vision with Cugó Gran Collection was to create something beyond the traditional five-star experience; something deeply personal, authentic, and rooted in the community. Reaching the 10-year mark is not just a milestone, it’s a reflection of the values we’ve upheld: integrity, honesty, and an uncompromising pursuit of excellence,” said Sven von der Heyden, Founder of Cugó Gran Collection.

Milestones of the past decade
Since its inception, the Cugó Gran Collection has steadily expanded its footprint in luxury hospitality. In 2015, it began with the opening of Cugó Gran Menorca, an exclusive estate known for its total privacy and breathtaking panoramic views. This was followed in 2018 by the launch of Cugó Gran Macina Malta, a striking Design Hotels™ member set within a historic fortress overlooking the Grand Harbour. In 2022, the Cugó Gran Collection introduced The Little Bastion, an award-winning Mediterranean restaurant in Isla, Malta, further enriching the guest experience. Between 2023 and 2025, the brand sharpened its focus on sustainability, digital innovation, and bespoke guest services, solidifying its commitment to future-forward luxury. In 2025, the opening of Cugó Gran Vittoriosa will also mark a significant milestone -celebrating a decade of Cugó Gran excellence.
