Hotel Bahia de Calpe by Pierre & Vacances

The Hotel Bahia de Calpe by Pierre & Vacances has hit the jackpot when it comes to location. The hotel sits pretty in the Bay of Calpe, and comes with impressive views over the Mediterranean Sea and the Penyal d'Ifac Natural Park. And if you can be persuaded to leave your poolside lounger, you’ll find you’re just a stone’s throw from a string of shops, bars and restaurants, not to mention Arenal beach.

Back at the hotel, the pools steal the spotlight. There are two to choose from, and one of them’s up on the rooftop, and pairs up with a poolside snack bar. Each of the pools comes with a sun terrace, so there’s plenty of space for lounging, too. Feeling more energetic? Pick up the pace of your holiday with a workout at the hotel’s gym, which is kitted out with cardio equipment, an aerobics studio and space for stretching.
