Modern hotel with prestigious golf course (4*)
Overlooking the Mediterranean Sea just south of Valencia, this modern-style Parador is a mecca for golfers, thanks to its world-famous 18-hole golf course, set beside the sea in the Natural Park of La Albufera. The building is made mostly of attractive natural stone, wood and glass, creating a very contemporary feel that still manages to mesh well with its natural surroundings. The Parador’s reception area is spacious and welcoming, with its smooth stone flooring and cool colours, it exudes contemporary luxury. Floor to ceiling windows provide spectacular views over the golf course. Bedrooms are similarly light and airy and decorated in a contemporary style with some unmistakable Moorish touches and rooms with views offer a spectacular panorama of the Parador de El Saler’s famous golf course.
The Parador's seasonal outdoor pool is surrounded beautiful gardens provides a relaxing atmosphere after a busy day’s golfing, as does the Parador’s top quality spa and gym; nearby tennis courts, a children's play area and a large football pitch ensure there are activities for everyone.
El Saler is located a mere 18km from Valencia and is primarily known for its splendid beach and famous golf course. The expansive beach with its sandy dunes is perfect for water-sports enthusiasts and sun-worshippers alike. The Campo de Golf El Saler is the area’s biggest attraction, famed for hosting the Spanish Open and its approval by both PGA-Europe and PGA-USA. The 18-hole course is considered one of the most challenging in Europe, and as such it is popular amongst many golfing enthusiasts, including professional golfer Bernhard Langer.
Whilst El Saler’s location beside the sea and bordering the Albufera National Park is a great way to escape the hustle and bustle of busy city centres, it is close enough to Valencia to function as an ideal base for exploring Spain’s third largest city. A vibrant area with a rich history, Valencia has a wide range of attractions and activities to please every visitor. The city is one of the greatest testaments to Spain’s Moorish occupation and the Arabic influence can be felt throughout from the architecture and cuisine, to many of the cultural local traditions. The beautiful buildings located in each quarter of Valencia have fascinating roots and the former Gothic silk exchange quarter has been declared a World Heritage Site. Over the past two decades the Valencian local government has worked to update the city and evolve into a centre of culture and tourism. One of the largest and most successful of these projects is the huge ‘City of Arts and Science’ complex which was included in the list of the ‘12 Treasures of Spain’ in 2007 by two of the country’s main TV stations. An architectural feat, the ‘city’ comprises of an impressive IMAX dome, Europe’s largest aquarium which is home to over 500 species, a futuristic conference centre, a scenic urban garden, the Palace of the Arts which exhibits a range of music, dance, theatre and opera performances, and a Science Museum which not only provides an interactive forum for visitors, but is also conducting some of Europe’s most innovative research. The Fallas Festival is held each March and is a fantastic opportunity to get involved with local festivities with funfairs and fireworks illuminating the city, as well as marvelling at the giant, often satirical sculptures (reminiscent of guys in the UK), which are carried through the city burned at the end of the festival in celebration.
Valencia is Spain's largest rice producing region and has been growing for over 1000 years, it is therefore not surprising that the country's most famous dish, paella, originated here. Traditionally served with meat, beans and vegetables, today you will find a variety rice dishes using a great many ingredients and we recommend trying some 'when in Rome'.
