New for summer 2025, this low-rise resort wraps around shimmering pools and lush gardens, with a serene spa, excellent gym and generous junior suites – many with kitchenette-style facilities that are perfect for longer stays. Peaceful yet well-connected, it’s a sophisticated base for spa downtime, hiking or cycling in the Costa Blanca hills, and easy day trips to the beaches of Benidorm, Altea and Calpe.

Terracotta-tinted façades, contemporary architecture and manicured gardens create a chic, resort-style feel at Barcelo La Nucia Hills.

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


Life here orbits around two outdoor freshwater pools. Down on the main terrace, you’ll find a large pool edged by sunbeds, hammocks and cushioned swing beds, set against a backdrop of palms and gardens – a lovely spot to linger all afternoon.

Up top, the rooftop pool combines refreshing dips with panoramic vistas across the hills and towards the sea, with a bar on hand for drinks (opening hours vary by season and occupancy). Both pool zones offer generous sunbathing areas and a relaxed, grown-up feel.

There’s no direct beach, but Levante Beach in Benidorm is around 7km away by taxi or hire car – easy for combining calm pool days with lively seaside evenings.

Spa, sports & wellness


The spa is one of Barcelo La Nucia Hills’ standout features. Facilities include a sauna, steam room, Turkish bath and whirlpool, along with a menu of massages and beauty treatments (charges apply; minimum age 16). For stays of at least four nights, guests receive one complimentary spa access, making it easy to build a wellness day into your stay.

If you like to keep active, the air-conditioned gym contains cardio machines, free weights, fixed strength equipment and an aerobics space – ideal for pre-breakfast workouts or cross-training on a cycling or hiking trip.

There’s occasional evening entertainment between late June and the end of August, usually twice a week with live DJs, music and professional shows. Some events take place on the rooftop terrace here, and some at sister hotel Barcelo La Nucia Palms, just 240m away, giving you a bit more variety without losing the hotel’s peaceful feel.

Practical touches include 24-hour reception-style support, luggage storage, and equipment hire such as kettles on request.
