For long an emblematic hotel, one of the few along this coast offering 5 star luxury, and a member of the celebrated Relais & Chateaux, an accepted indication of high standards. An outstanding reputation for food is well-deserved.
Overview According to legend, it was from here the souls of the Moors left on their last journey to Paradise, though we think El Montiboli is a paradise in its own right! Offering the highest standards of accommodation and traditional service, El Montiboli is an oasis of peace and relaxation in a truly wonderful situation.
Location Set on a rocky promontory overlooking the Mediterranean, on the outskirts of Villajoyosa, El Montiboli enjoys a unique location between the sea and beaches and the hills just 30 kms to the north-east of Alicante. The hotel lies in delightful gardens laid out in moorish style with cool fountains, overlooking two secluded beaches. Very convenient for the shops and restaurants of the town, it is only 3 kms from the Villajoyosa Shopping Centre.
Relaxation The small, kidney-shaped main swimming pool is on the very crown of the cliff with superb views of the coastline, and is surrounded by sun terraces and gardens, which are well-equipped with loungers and parasols. There is a complimentary towel service. There’s a second, covered and heated pool adjacent to the beach and tennis court. Pool bar service in summer. The Colibri Piano Bar is very pleasant at any time for cocktails and aperitifs. There are several lounges and salons bursting with antiques and tasteful furnishings.
Sports Tennis court with equipment for hire at beach level. Nearby is a tennis club with 18 courts. Several golf courses within easy reach, the nearest being 12 kms away. In peak summer, water sports available at the beach.
