About Xalet de Nin
Designed in 1913 by Catalan architect Fonts i Gumà and protected as a cultural heritage site, Xalet de Nin sits directly on the seafront between two beaches in Vilanova i la Geltrú — 15 minutes from Sitges and 35 minutes from Barcelona El Prat Airport. The property spans over 4,000 m² of seafront gardens, including a sea-facing balcony of more than 150 metres running the length of the property, and a natural swimming pool.
35 Minutes from Barcelona Airport — On the Seafront
Xalet de Nin sits directly between two beaches in Vilanova i la Geltrú — 15 minutes from Sitges, 35 minutes from Barcelona El Prat Airport. For couples flying from the USA, UK, EU, or Singapore, this is one of the most accessible seafront wedding estates in Spain: guests land, transfer, and are standing at the sea within 35 minutes.
The property accommodates up to 20 guests on-site. In July, August, and September, a minimum 2-night stay is required (€13,200 + VAT). For May, June, and October weddings, venue hire is available without the accommodation requirement.
Four Spaces. One Seafront Estate. Full Day.
The wedding day flows across four distinct settings: ceremony on the clifftop mirador (open sea views); cocktails in the Patio de los Olivos; dinner in the Umbracle (glassed outdoor space); late-night dancing in the Xalet Room until 3:00 AM. No transfers. No disruption. The entire day unfolds within one exclusive property. The venue works with an exclusive catering team — external food providers are not permitted, though all other suppliers (florists, photographers, musicians, decorators) are welcome.
Art Nouveau Architecture on the Mediterranean Seafront
The estate is a beautiful example of Barcelona's Art Nouveau movement, constructed on top of an 18th-century fortress with archaeological roots stretching back 2,500 years to the Iberian period. Its interiors have been carefully restored, combining period character with modern comfort across 8 en-suite bedrooms for the wedding party.
Multiple Spaces for a Full Wedding Day
The ceremony is typically held on the clifftop mirador with direct sea views. Cocktails take place in El Patio de los Olivos — an open courtyard with large potted olive trees and sea views. Dinner is held in the Umbracle, a beautiful glassed outdoor space. Late-night dancing continues in the renovated Xalet room. The entire day unfolds across distinct, beautiful spaces within a single exclusive property.

How Casamiga Plans Your Wedding at Xalet de Nin
Xalet de Nin is a private estate with a residential character — a place that feels like a home, not an event space. Planning a wedding here well means working with that intimacy, not against it. We design experiences that let the property breathe while ensuring every logistical element is invisible on the day.
Step 1 — Wedding Weekend Planning Around the Property
With 8 en-suite bedrooms on-site and Sitges just 15 minutes away, Xalet de Nin is naturally suited to a multi-day wedding weekend. We design the full stay — welcome dinner, wedding day, and morning-after brunch — working with the property's distinct spaces: the clifftop mirador for the ceremony, the Patio de los Olivos for cocktails, the Umbracle for dinner, and the Xalet room for dancing.
Step 2 — Coordinating the On-Site Accommodation
For peak season weddings, on-site accommodation at Xalet de Nin is required. We manage the room allocation process — ensuring the couple, immediate family, and bridal party are all placed and briefed — and coordinate additional accommodation in Sitges for guests who are not staying at the property.
Step 3 — Seamless Vendor Access to a Residential Estate
Xalet de Nin's residential setting requires careful coordination of vendor arrivals and setup windows. We manage all access logistics — florists, caterers, photographers, musicians, and AV teams — scheduling their arrival and setup in sequence so that when your guests arrive, the estate looks and feels exactly as it should: effortless and beautiful.
