Albir Playa Hotel & Spa is located near the beach of El Albir (Alfaz del Pí) in the province of Alicante. In a strategic enclave within the Costa Blanca, this location enjoys an average annual temperature of 18 degrees and more than 300 days of sunshine a year. We schedule our holidays to make the most of this during a UK winter. In addition to the comfortable rooms, Mediterranean cuisine, Senses spa experience and swimming pool with tropical garden, the Albir Playa is a great hotel for cyclists. Albir is a small town that offers a great base for exploring beautiful natural reserves, olive and orange groves somewhat hidden from the busier resorts to the south.
After spending our British winter holidays at the beautiful Albir Playa Hotel in Spain, we’re thrilled to offer you an incredible summer adventure. We are excited to announce our first 'Summer Trip' in the French Pyrenees, set for July 2025.

Join us for an unforgettable journey and experience the breathtaking beauty of the mountains in summer.
Lourdes - France
Lourdes, nestled in the Pyrenees within the Hautes-Pyrénées department of southwestern France's Occitanie region, is a town rich in history and significance. Originally renowned for its Château fort, a striking fortified castle perched atop a rocky escarpment, Lourdes' global prominence emerged in the mid-19th century.In 1858, the town gained international attention due to the Marian apparitions experienced by Bernadette Soubirous, a 14-year-old local girl. These apparitions, occurring in the grotto of Massabielle, were believed to be the Blessed Virgin Mary, who identified herself as the Immaculate Conception. Over the next year, thousands of pilgrims began flocking to Lourdes, leading to the establishment of the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes. A statue of Our Lady was erected at the site in 1864, solidifying Lourdes' place as a major pilgrimage destination.
