Barcelo Asia Gardens
Balinese resort fantasy meets Spanish luxury. Arched teak ceilings, infinity pools lined with basalt and slate, koi carp ponds, and 3,000+ Asian plant species. Feels genuinely removed from the overbuilt Costa Blanca coast.
Suite guests get exclusive access to the VIP pool and Thai Club area — worth the upgrade if you want the quietest experience.
Why It Matters
One of the only large-scale Asian-themed luxury resorts in continental Europe, and a member of Leading Hotels of the World. Named Best Congress Hotel in Spain and Europe 2025. Celebrity regulars include Bruce Springsteen, Wayne Rooney, Penélope Cruz, and Zinedine Zidane.
A 5-star Balinese-style resort sitting 150 metres above sea level on the slopes of the Sierra Cortina, with sweeping views across the Costa Blanca. The concept: take the serenity and aesthetic of South-East Asia and plant it firmly in the Mediterranean. Seven pools, nine restaurants, and a Thai Spa staffed by therapists trained in Bangkok's Wat Po Temple tradition. The beach is 2 km away — and most guests never bother going.
