About Us

The team behind Coralmanormeadow

A secluded resort and casino on the Mediterranean coast. Since 1978, with six rooms and a single conviction — that true hospitality never needs announcing.

Our story in brief

In the summer of 1978, two friends — a former hotelier and a chef — acquired a strip of shoreline and turned a private villa into a six-room inn. No investor pitch, no marketing blueprint, no social feed. Just a notebook holding two principles: serve fewer guests better than anyone else; and never settle for what passes as "industry standard".

Forty-eight years on we count 140 keys, two restaurants, a Michelin star, two private gaming salons, a full spa, and a guest book that quietly fills with the same families returning, year after year. The notebook remains. The two principles have not shifted.

We remain owned by the same two families who founded the property. We have never sold to a chain, never franchised the name, and never opened a second site — though the question has been raised, repeatedly. Our reply is always the same: excel in one place.

What we stand for

Hospitality without theatre

Flowers are fresh because they ought to be. Robes are weighty because they ought to be. The effort that counts is the effort you never see.

Continuity over churn

The bellman who greets you has been here longer than most of our suites have stood. Our head sommelier has served for many years. We recruit carefully and retain for life.

Local over global

Our menu follows what the coast supplies, our cellar favours growers within four hours of the property, and our spa products come from a chemist who lives forty minutes away.

Quiet by design

Adult-only, screen-free public areas, gentle lighting at every hour and a music programme meant to blend into the room. Noise is simple. Stillness takes work.

The team

Six of the people who run the property day to day. Their backgrounds differ; their commitment to the standard does not. Behind them stands a 280-person team across operations, food, beverage, wellness, gaming, and concierge.
