Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About Wellness Hotels in Alicante
A spa hotel simply means a hotel with a spa, whereas a wellness hotel considers also other areas of holistic wellbeing, like nutritious meals, areas to do mindful practices like yoga and breathwork and calm energy of the place. Simply, it’s not trying to be a regular hotel pleasing everyone, but they are specliazed in tranquil or transformative experiences.
Yes, if you want affordable wellness hotel next to beach and city, choose INNside Porta Maris Alicante
If you are looking for science-based clinic style health holiday, choose either SHA or ZEM Wellness Clinic.
If you are traveling during high season, it is good to ensure they have appointments available. So book treatments already while booking the trip: that way you can also focus fully on relaxation and wellness once you arrive.
Generally speaking, Alicante is good all around the year, but the best months are from March to May and from September to October.
Best Time to Book Wellness Hotel in Alicante: Rates & Seasonality
Peak Season (June-August): Book 4-6 months in advance for best selection and prices
Shoulder Season (April-May, September-October): Book 2-3 months ahead, and maybe even earlier during mid-October, as it is autumn break from schools in Northern Europe
Off-Season (November-March): 1-2 months ahead is sufficient, but you can also get lucky with last-minute deals
If you are seeking for offers, it is worth booking holidays in January.
Last-minute opportunities are also great a shotels want to fill in the rooms that were not sold yet. The closer the trip you are comfortable leaving the booking, the better deal you can get.
Please note though, this may not always guarantee a cheap stay, a for example big events in the area may increase the demand and affect hotel rates.
Booking platform loyalty programs
It's a good idea to centralize booking hotels from one platform, as they often offer discounts for loyal customers.
Personally, I book most of my hotels through Booking, as I have reached Genius Level 3 in their loyalty program, which enables some nice discounts.
Longer stay discount
You may find it obvious to stay in the ame hotel during the whole trip, but I used to travel switching the hotel mid-journey to experience more.
However, it can be cheaper to book a longer stay in one place.
Breakfast included
Having breakfast included in your hotel bookingcan actually save quite some costs during the trip. So a great hotel brekfast is not only convenient, but possibly also nice for the wallet, especially if you are traveling with a family.
Parking in Alicante
Many hotels may ask even 20€/night for parking. If you are fine parking your car alittle bit further from the Alicante centre, you can normally also find free street parking. This is also easy to check when booking via Booking.com
whether parking is included or not (You can also filter with seeing only hotels with parking included)
Further location, lower price
Well, this one is pretty obvious. Just 5 minutes further from the beach or centre can considerably lowert the hotel price.
Best Hotel Booking Platforms
I personally book majority of my hotel stays via Booking.com due to their loyalty program.
Other sites that are easy, reliable and offering good deals for hotels are Trip.com, Agoda, Hostelworld and Klook. At Klook, you can also reserve travel activities and experiences, just like in GetYourGuide.
Another great thing about booking via a hotel booking platform is the possibility to read loads of reviews of other guests.
