In El Albir, holiday s follow their own rhythm: a stroll along the Mediterranean, a plate of Alicante-style rice followed by a long after-dinner chat, and the silhouette of the Serra Gelada waiting at the end of the promenade. Nestled between the tranquility of this Costa Blanca town and two neighboring towns with plenty to offer—Altea and Benidorm—lies the Hotel Sun Palace Albir & Spa in El Albir. It’s an ideal choice for those who want to combine the coast, relaxation, and activities without being confined to a resort.
It’s a 4-star hotel in El Albir with 216 rooms, designed more for relaxation than for hustle and bustle. The hotel’s own website notes that its facilities and services aren’t recommended for children, so we find it particularly appealing for couples and adults seeking a peaceful base from which to explore this part of Alicante.
Albir Beach: It’s about 600 metres away. Keep one important detail in mind: the hotel is located on higher ground, so the walk back involves an uphill climb. It’s one of those things you should know before breaking in your sandals.
Serra Gelada: This natural park and its coastal trails are very close by. A definite plus if you want to switch between lounging on a beach chair and hitting the trails.
Altea and Benidorm: El Albir is situated between these two towns, making it easy to combine day holidays and city life with a few days at the beach.
From the airport: The Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernández Airport is about 54 km away by road. If you’re not renting a car, it’s a good idea to plan your public transportation or shuttle connection in advance.
Outdoor pool: The hotel features a seasonal outdoor pool, one of its main spots for unwinding during the months when it’s open.
An extra touch of wellness: Tahara Spa features a heated pool, sauna, Turkish bath, and relaxation area. The spa circuit and treatments may incur an additional charge; check to see if they’re included in your package.
Views from above: The rooftop features the 360º Terrace, offering panoramic views of Altea Bay, the surrounding mountains, and the skyline of Benidorm. Use and access are subject to terms and conditions and may incur an additional charge.
What other travellers say: Among the most highly rated aspects are the staff’s hospitality, cleanliness, and comfort. As a recurring point, some guests mention the slope leading up to the hotel.
El Far Restaurant: This buffet-style restaurant specializes in Mediterranean cuisine, including rice dishes. Access depends on the meal plan included in your package.
Coffee Rick’s: The café rounds out the offerings with coffee and cocktails. Drinks may incur an additional charge depending on your booked package.
Wi-Fi: The official website lists free Wi-Fi.
Car Park: Private car park is available for a booking fee.
Families: Be aware if you’re travelling with young children—the website itself states that its facilities and services are not recommended for them and that it does not offer childcare services.
Luggage: The hotel offers luggage storage before and after your stay; check the terms and conditions applicable to your booking.
A rice dish overlooking the Mediterranean: Take advantage of your time in Alicante to find a local restaurant and try one of the region’s rice dishes. Here, rice isn’t just “paella”—it deserves its own chapter.
Walk to the Albir Lighthouse: It’s one of the most rewarding activities in the area, located within the N Park
