MADRID, Feb 25 (Reuters) - Spain's largest hotel chain Melia on Wednesday reported a 24% rise in 2025 profit as higher prices at its luxury resorts helped offset a cooling in global tourism after the post‑pandemic boom.
Melia's 200.2 million euros ($236 million) full-year net income beat analyst expectations for 151.23 million euros in an LSEG forecast.
Revenue per room at Melia rose at a slower pace of 5.4% last year, compared with the 11% growth registered in 2024.
Room rate increases played a greater part in the company's revenue than occupancy, Melia said.
Melia, which has focused on opening new luxury hotels, expects room rates at its Spanish resorts to rise by around 5% in 2026, in line with revenue, CEO Gabriel Escarrer said last month.

Melia’s 2025 results show a 24% rise in net profit to about €200m, driven by higher luxury room rates despite a cooling in global tourism.
Revenue growth was led by room rate increases, with RevPAR up 5.4% in 2025 versus 11% in 2024, indicating pricing contributed more than occupancy.
Management expects room rates at Spanish resorts to increase around 5% in 2026, broadly in line with expected revenue growth.
