Why we recommend it

Hotel Las Arenas Balneario Resort is Valencia's classic beachfront luxury hotel. It stands on the seafront at the Las Arenas end of the city beach, where the Malvarrosa begins, and it is built around the historic Las Arenas bathing establishment, or balneario, founded in 1898. The buildings keep the architectural character of the old spa, while the hotel itself is a modern five-star grand luxury resort.

There are 253 rooms, including ten suites, and the official tourism listing describes them as spacious and bright. Facilities include a spa, a gym, pools, a terrace, a café and restaurants, as well as extensive meeting and banqueting rooms, which make the hotel popular for weddings and conferences as well as holidays. The beach is just across the promenade.

The location is the main selling point. You are a few steps from the sand, with the promenade, beach restaurants and the Cabanyal neighbourhood on your doorstep, and the Marina a short walk to the south. The trade-off is distance from the old town, which is around 15 to 20 minutes away by taxi or a longer ride on public transport. For a beach-and-city break, many guests are happy to make that trip once a day and spend the rest of their time by the sea.

The resort suits couples, families who want a pool and a beach, and business travellers attending events. Check-in is from 16:00 and check-out by 13:00. Parking is available, which is useful if you are touring the region by car. The hotel is listed as adapted for people with reduced mobility. Book well ahead for summer weekends and during the Fallas festival in March, when the city fills up. Outside the peak summer months the beach is much quieter, and a stay in spring or autumn can be a calm way to enjoy the sea air with fewer crowds.

Metro lines 4, 6 and 8 serve the coastal area, and buses 19, 32, 92 and 95 stop nearby. Close by you will find the Malvarrosa beach, the paella restaurants of the seafront, including La Pepica and Casa Carmela, the tiled houses and taverns of the Cabanyal, and the Marina, where the waterfront has bars and restaurants. The City of Arts and Sciences is a short taxi ride away.
