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.

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.

Superb short break
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 !
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
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.
