Map & location


La Cala Finestrat, Benidorm, Costa Blanca, Spain

Hotel La Cala occupies one of Benidorm’s most sought-after spots – directly on the beachfront in the La Cala Finestrat area at the quieter western end of the bay. Step outside and you’re on the seafront promenade, lined with cafés, tapas bars and ice-cream parlours.

This corner of Benidorm feels more village-like than city, yet you’re still only a short bus or taxi ride from the famous skyscrapers, nightlife and attractions of central Benidorm and Poniente Beach. It’s an ideal base if you want to dip in and out of the action, then retreat to somewhere peaceful at the end of the day.

  • Approx. transfer time from Alicante (ALC) airport 1 hour 30 minutes

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


There’s no swimming pool at Hotel La Cala – instead, the Mediterranean Sea is your swimming spot. With direct access from the hotel to the soft sands of Finestrat Beach, you can swap sunlounger to shoreline in a matter of seconds.

Finestrat’s gently shelving bay is typically calmer than central Benidorm’s main beaches, making it great for paddling, casual swimming and watching the paddleboarders and small boats drift by. Parasols and loungers are usually available to hire on the public beach, or you can simply roll out a towel and enjoy the laid-back, local vibe.

Spa, sports & wellness


Hotel La Cala keeps things simple and relaxed, focusing on its unbeatable location and rooftop views rather than a long list of on-site activities. While there’s no spa or gym, you’ll find all the essentials for an easy-going break:

• Panoramic rooftop terrace with spectacular sea and bay views – ideal for sunbathing or sunset drinks
• Beachfront promenade on the doorstep – perfect for morning jogs or evening strolls
• Reception with concierge-style assistance and luggage storage
• Free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel

If you’re keen on activities, Benidorm has everything from theme parks and waterparks to boat trips, golf and hiking in the nearby mountains – all easily reached by local bus, taxi or excursion.

Activities


Hotel La Cala is all about taking it easy – long beach days, leisurely coffees on the promenade and sunset drinks on the rooftop terrace. On-site organised activities are minimal, but you’ll find plenty to do in and around Benidorm:

• Beach time on Finestrat and Poniente’s long sandy stretches
• Seafront promenades ideal for jogging or gentle walks
• Easy access by bus/taxi to Benidorm’s theme parks and waterparks
• Boat trips, snorkelling and watersports available nearby (seasonal, local providers)
• Day trips along the Costa Blanca to Alicante, Altea or the mountain villages inland

?️ Reception with concierge-style assistance
? Luggage storage for early arrivals/late departures
?‍?‍? Highchairs available in the restaurant
? Free Wi-Fi throughout
?️ Daily housekeeping and towel change in selected room types

Food & drink

Strat Restaurant is Hotel La Cala’s à la carte hub, serving international dishes for lunch and dinner with a focus on fresh, seasonal ingredients. It’s also where you can sample creations inspired by 2018 MasterChef: The Professionals (rematch edition) winner Claire Hutchings – a nice foodie twist for such a compact hotel.

Alongside the restaurant, a relaxed cafeteria and bar serves local and international drinks from morning through to late evening, including an adults-only bar area that keeps the atmosphere calm and grown-up.
