Gran Hotel Sol y Mar is an adults-only hotel in the bustling town of Calpe on the east coast of Spain. The hotel has a modern look with minimalist interiors and pops of colour in the architecture. The rooms overlook the Mediterranean Sea and palm tree-filled coastline. Arenal beach is steps from the hotel where you can relax on the soft sand or go for a swim in the cooling waters. Calpe town is a short walk away and has plenty of local attractions, shops and restaurants to explore. Life at the hotel centres around the outdoor swimming pool, with a terrace dotted with loungers. You can swim or relax in the sun or the shade. If you fancy a change of scenery, you head to the shoreline. The area is known for its abundance of marine life, so snorkelling and scuba diving are popular activities to try. The hotel has a gym if you want to stay fit during your stay. For unwinding and recharging, you can visit the hotel's spa where you can choose from a range of massages and beauty treatments including manicures, pedicures and make-up application. There's also a sauna and Turkish bath for your use. Gran Hotel Sol y Mar also has four bars, including a sports bar, where you can pick up drinks to enjoy on your sun lounger during the day. There's a buffet restaurant that offers a variety of food for breakfast, lunch and dinner and two A la carte restaurants that are open for lunch during the peak season, as well as for dinner throughout the year.

Arenal beach, where you can soak in the views of the mountainous Mediterranean coastline, is right next to the hotel. The centre of Calpe is a short walk of 1km away and has a wide selection of restaurants serving authentic Spanish food such as tapas dishes and seafood paella, as well as international cuisine. If you want to discover the nightlife culture of the region, you can drive 21km to the heart of Benidorm. Here, you'll find a range of clubs, live music venues and karaoke bars to visit. During the day, you can wander through the cobbled streets of Benidorm's charming Old Town, or browse the stalls at one of the local markets. More shopping options are available at the West Beach Promenade, if you want to pick up travel accessories, gifts and souvenirs.

You can get refreshing drinks from the hotel's four bars throughout the day. One of the bars serves snacks and the beach club bar offers lunch. The main buffet restaurant has breakfast, lunch and dinner, with a variety of Mediterranean food available. For more restaurants and shops, Calpe centre is within walking distance.

If you want to stay fit during your break, you can join an aerobics class that is run regularly by the staff at the hotel.

All rooms have a TV, phone and an air conditioning unit. There's also a room safe to securely store your valuable items.

Superb short break

Jan 2023 | gmikemcdowell

We took a short three night break here over the New Year and were not disappointed in anything. The hotel pool was closed for refurbishment but use of the sister hotel was available if required. Breakfast was superb as was the live music every morning. Shower was super powerful and need a bit of fine tuning to avoid soaking the floor. Staff were excellent and very helpful. I would recommend this hotel to anyone thinking of a break in Calpe.

Exceptionally good hotel but be warned about parking charges !

Jan 2023 | Campaneta

We have spent the last two Christmases and New Years at the Sol Y Mar. What a brilliant hotel ! The staff, food, location, ambiance and our suite were wonderful. Our room looked onto the beach. The New Year Gala meal was unbelievably good. There was only one thing we didn’t like, and it wasn’t the fault of the hotel. For 10 days parking we had to pay €132 ! even after the hotel discount. OUCH ! It did spoil our stay, and has made us look elsewhere for 2023. Couldn’t the Sol Y Mar group buy the underground car park ?

Lovely short break

Dec 2022 | toes1965

Three night stay half board at a fantastic price in December partly due to some refurbishment work being carried out. This was not visible or audible but did mean their pool was closed but access to neighbouring pool allowed. Food was fantastic and only surpassed by the very friendly and accommodating staff. Beautiful views whilst eating meals.
