Xalet de Nin is a seafront wedding villa near Sitges and Barcelona, ideal for up to 180 guests. It is best for couples who want a full wedding day in one location with sea views and on-site accommodation.
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 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.
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.
