THE HOTEL
Alva Park Resort & Spa, a member of 'The Leading Small Hotels of the World', is a wonderfully elegant property where modern clean lines mix with superb design to create the rarefied ambience of an exclusive residence. No stone has been left unturned and no detail left to chance in delivering a resort that somehow manages to combine high design and real comfort.
The suites and junior suites too are absolutely beautiful, and awash with luxurious details - from fine wool carpets, fabric wall coverings to sycamore wood detailing and Roche Bobois cherry tree furniture. A single remote controls lighting, curtains, and air conditioning, whilst the TVs are, naturally, Bang & Olufsen. This is truly stunning accommodation, and each with a slice of outdoor living thanks to a private balcony or terrace with sea or garden views.
Surprises await you at every turn at this property. Watch out for the butterflies and snow….
Spain is best visited in the springtime, when the temperatures are generally warm and comfortable. Autumn is equally comfortable, though less green and the landscapes are drier. July and August are very hot.
