Melia Villaitana

You’ll find the Melia Villaitana on the edge of Benidorm, boasting sweeping views over the Costa Blanca. It’s more like a Mediterranean Village than a hotel, and even has a replica of the Altea Church, complete with a bell tower and tiled dome. There’s a lake-style swimming pool lined with an artificial beach of shimmering rocks and powder-soft golden sand at the heart of the grounds, which are nestled between two championship golf courses.

There are four pools to dip into in total, each one circled by spacious sun terraces topped with loungers and parasols. Little ones, meanwhile, will have a blast at the water park and splash zone (due to open in summer 2024). 

Stay fit during your stay by visiting the state-of-the-art gym, football pitches, and paddle tennis courts, or tee off on the two 18-hole golf courses. Looking for added relaxation? The YHI Spa has got you covered with a list of pampering treatments, and it’s also home to a hydrotherapy pool, a sauna, and a steam room. Spa access – including the indoor pool – is payable on the spot.

The Melia Villaitana offers a variety of eateries, including an international buffet place and a poolside grill. There are also two à la carte restaurants to choose from, offering Spanish and Italian menus.
