The Best Beach Hotels to Book in Valencia, Spain

Valencia isn’t known as one of the quintessential beach destinations in Spain, yet this major port city and region boast some impressive, unspoilt beaches in their own right. Here is a round-up of Culture Trip-approved seaside hotels and places to stay on this part of the Spanish coast.
Oliva Nova Beach & Golf Resort

A five-star resort surrounded by olive groves on the beachfront, Oliva Nova’s setting alone ensures you will have an unforgettable stay. Sun, sea and mountains, combined with golf, tennis, an equestrian centre, football fields, gym and swimming pool, are sure to keep you occupied during your stay.
Hotel Cullera Holiday

Located in Playa del Racó, Hotel Cullera Holiday is the ideal place for relaxation. Rooms have either sea or mountain views and let in natural light to highlight the simple decor and space.

Hotel RH Riviera Hotel

Meraki Beach Hotel

Situated in an enclave next to the Mediterranean is Hotel Meraki – a little place that guests love for its tranquillity and intimate setting as it has just 12 rooms over two floors. All rooms have a private terrace with sea views in which you can catch sunrise. The hotel’s Sky Bar is on the terrace, also has sea views and provides an impressive cocktail list, so is the perfect spot for sundowners.
Parador de El Saler

Integrated into a dune and pine forest of the Albufera Natural Park, Parador de El Saler is a one-of-a-kind hotel that offers guests lush greenery and golden beaches. With sea views from nearly every angle, a spa, football field, outdoor swimming pool and a golf course, the hotel is almost a little world of its own. Rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows that allow the outside in and fill rooms with natural light.
Hotel Miramar

The hotel is in close proximity to the delightful Old Town, City of Science and Arts and a few local neighbourhoods in which you must try some local dishes, tapas and wine.

The interior is adorned with paintings and sculptures by local artists including Antonio de Felipe, Miquel Navarro, Andreu Alfaro and Willy Ramos – an art-lover’s dream. It has all the amenities you’d hope for, yet it is the personal service that makes guests return.

Hotel Balandret
