You’re around 700m from local shops, bars and restaurants, and just a short drive to bustling Benidorm and its famous Levante Beach. Day trips to pretty Altea, Calpe or waterfalls and nature reserves inland are easy to arrange, so you can mix rural calm with classic Costa Blanca coast days.

Nearest shops, bars & restaurants: approx. 700m
La Nucia resort centre: approx. 4km
Benidorm resort centre: approx. 7km
Levante Beach (Benidorm): approx. 7km

La Nucia, Costa Blanca, Spain

Start the day at Serrella, the main buffet restaurant, serving breakfast and dinner with show cooking. Expect a mix of Mediterranean and international dishes, and a kids’ buffet plus microwaves for family convenience. Smart-casual dress is requested, and beachwear isn’t allowed at dinner.

By day, head to Restaurant Aitana by the pool for à la carte lunches and snacks, from light salads to satisfying mains. It’s ideal if you’re splitting the day between sunbathing and the spa.

For drinks, there’s Aitana Bar – a poolside snack bar open through the afternoon and into the evening (hours vary by occupancy) – plus a rooftop pool bar with long views and a laid-back vibe for sundowners.

Please note: restaurant opening times, bar hours, reservations, and supplements can vary by season and board. Details will be confirmed on arrival; Half Board usually covers breakfast and dinner in the buffet restaurant, with drinks extra unless stated on your Travelisto confirmation. What All Inclusive typically includes.

Life here orbits around two outdoor freshwater pools. Down on the main terrace, you’ll find a large pool edged by sunbeds, hammocks and cushioned swing beds, set against a backdrop of palms and gardens – a lovely spot to linger all afternoon.

Up top, the rooftop pool combines refreshing dips with panoramic vistas across the hills and towards the sea, with a bar on hand for drinks (opening hours vary by season and occupancy). Both pool zones offer generous sunbathing areas and a relaxed, grown-up feel.

There’s no direct beach, but Levante Beach in Benidorm is around 7km away by taxi or hire car – easy for combining calm pool days with lively seaside evenings.

The spa is one of Barcelo La Nucia Hills’ standout features. Facilities include a sauna, steam room, Turkish bath and whirlpool, along with a menu of massages and beauty treatments (charges apply; minimum age 16). For stays of at least four nights, guests receive one complimentary spa access, making it easy to build a wellness day into your stay.

If you like to keep active, the air-conditioned gym contains cardio machines, free weights, fixed strength equipment and an aerobics space – ideal for pre-breakfast workouts or cross-training on a cycling or hiking trip.

There’s occasional evening entertainment between late June and the end of August, usually twice a week with live DJs, music and professional shows. Some events take place on the rooftop terrace here, and some at sister hotel Barcelo La Nucia Palms, just 240m away, giving you a bit more variety without losing the hotel’s peaceful feel.

Practical touches include 24-hour reception-style support, luggage storage, and equipment hire such as kettles on request.
