Spain meets Southeast Asia at this grand five-star resort, where a world-class Thai spa, expansive tropical gardens and extensive facilities deliver an authentic Asian sanctuary.

The design hotel Asia Gardens Hotel & Thai Spa is situated within an extensive forested area (370,000m²) in the Sierra de Cortina mountains. It is surrounded by lush tropical gardens and offers seven swimming pools. The nearest sandy beach is 2 kilometers away. Alicante Airport is located approximately 55 kilometers from the hotel, while Valencia Airport is approximately 153 kilometers away.

Love Asian wellness but not the long-haul flight? Here's your solution: a luxury design hotel in Asian style in... Spain! This expansive resort features a world-class Thai spa where you can book traditional Thai massages. The hotel organises daily holistic activities: join in with yoga, tai chi or stretching classes. Afterwards, dive into one of seven outdoor pools scattered across over 50,000 m² of tropical gardens. Seeking peace and quiet? Head to the adults-only pool (heated, so ideal for a winter break too).

Thanks to the spa's distinctive Asian-inspired design, it's easy to momentarily forget you're in Spain. Most of the therapists themselves are of Thai descent. This spa serves as a tranquil oasis where you can unwind in a heated indoor pool, Turkish steam room, or an outdoor Jacuzzi. Alternatively, you can reserve a session for one of their many Thai massages or facials in a dedicated treatment room. After your pampering, you can choose to bask in the sun on the terrace or relax in a designated area. It's worth noting that this spa is exclusively for guests aged 16 and above.

There are around 3 holistic activities per day, such as yoga, tai chi and stretching.

• Yoga
• Tai chi
• Stretching
• Botanical walks through the gardens
• Jogging circuits
• 2 golf courses (nearby)

At Asia Gardens, you can embark on a culinary world tour with no fewer than seven restaurants and three bars. The Udaipur buffet restaurant offers authentic Thai and Asian flavors, as well as Mediterranean classics, and also serves breakfast. For gastronomic à la carte dining, 'In Black' restaurant is available. If you're a fan of fine Thai cuisine, you'll find it at Koh Samui. Delicious Mediterranean lunches can be enjoyed at Palapa, while traditional Italian food is served at Lombocci (please note it's not open every day). If you're in need of snacks between meals, you can visit the Zen Snack Bar. For a relaxed drink, the Palapa Bar in the gardens, next to the infinity pool, is the perfect spot. The Bonsai Bar with a terrace is another great option. If you're in the mood for an exclusive cocktail or a glass of champagne in style, make your way to the Champagne Bar. (Please be aware that some restaurants may be closed on certain days or during specific seasons.)
