Hotel Altea Paradise 1917 - Adults Only

Hotel Altea Paradise 1917 is an adults-only address in Altea for travellers who prefer a small property to a large resort operation. The hotel has six rooms, a garden, an outdoor pool and spaces for sitting outside, so the scale is intimate rather than sprawling. There is no need to plan an evening around children's activities here: the minimum age for check-in is 18, and children are not accommodated.

Air conditioning, free WiFi, a minibar and a television cover the practical side of the stay, while the garden and pool provide somewhere to sit when the day's work is done. English and Spanish are catered for through the hotel's website, which is useful when you are arranging the basics before travelling; the available data does not establish which languages the hotel team speaks.

You are in Altea, Spain, at Partida Els Arcs, 50. This is not a hotel directly on the beach: La Roda Beach is about 1 mile away on foot. Playa de L'Espigó is also around 1 mile away on foot, while Cap Blanch Beach takes roughly 1.5 miles and La Olla Beach around 2.5 miles.

The setting works well if you want the coast within reach without sleeping on the promenade. Altea railway station is about 0.9 miles away on foot, and Parc de l'Aigua is around 0.8 miles away. For a longer outing, Port de l'Olla d'Altea is about 1.6 miles from the hotel, while the Sierra Helada Natural Park and Peñón de Ifach Natural Park give you more ambitious scenery beyond the immediate walk.

You also have a few places to eat and drink within reach, including Ca Mezquida and Hostal Fornet, both around half a mile away on foot, plus Pizza Party Altea. Cafetería Altea and Sands Bar are about 1 mile away. Alicante–Elche Miguel Hernández Airport is roughly 41 miles away by road, so this is a transfer or hire-car arrival rather than a quick hop from the terminal.

The room choice is mainly about how much space and outdoor connection you want. The compact double rooms suit a couple travelling light, while the larger double rooms give you more room to spread out after a day carrying the usual collection of bags, clothes and post-dive clutter. The Double Room with Pool View is the obvious pick if watching the garden and pool matters to you; the Double Room with Terrace is the more natural choice when stepping outside with a morning coffee is part of the plan.

Every room has air conditioning, a private bathroom, a wardrobe, a desk, a minibar and a refrigerator. That last combination is practical rather than decorative: cold water and somewhere to keep a few provisions are welcome when you come back tired and salty. Free WiFi and a flat-screen TV handle the quiet hours, while heating is available for cooler nights.

The Double Room with Spa Bath adds a more indulgent bathing setup without turning the whole property into a conventional resort. All rooms are non-smoking, and daily housekeeping is included. For a couple, the terrace or pool-view options make more sense than choosing solely by bed and bathroom; the smaller rooms keep things straightforward, while the larger ones give you more breathing room between returning, showering and collapsing.

Breakfast is the main meal built into the hotel routine, served as a buffet and described as homemade. The choice covers continental, American, full English or Irish, vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, with fruit, fresh juice, pancakes and cheese also part of the breakfast spread. There is a breakfast-to-go option as well, handy when the day's plans start before your appetite has fully reported for duty.

A bar and a snack bar are available at the hotel, and the rooms have minibars. That gives you somewhere to get a drink or a lighter bite without making every return from the coast a full expedition. Wine or champagne and fruit can also be arranged as additional food and drink services.

For a proper evening meal, the surrounding area gives you alternatives within walking distance. Ca Mezquida, Hostal Fornet and Pizza Party Altea are nearby, while Cafetería Altea, Sands Bar and Lujuria Lounge give you further options for coffee, drinks or a change of scene. The hotel is therefore best suited to a breakfast-led stay with local dining decisions made day by day.

The outdoor pool sits within the garden and is reserved for adults, giving you a straightforward place to cool off or spend an unhurried afternoon. Sun loungers, beach chairs, umbrellas, a sun terrace and outdoor furniture turn the outside space into the hotel's main daytime area. It is the sort of arrangement that asks very little of you, which is often precisely the point.

When your shoulders and legs have had enough of the day's exertion, the wellness facilities add a few ways to recover. There is an open-air bath, a public bath, a hot tub or Jacuzzi and a massage chair. Massage services include full-body, back, neck, head, foot, hand and couples massages, with body treatments, facial treatments, manicures, pedicures and beauty services also available.

Cycling is listed among the activities, and the nearby parks give you a reason to leave the sun lounger when you feel like moving. Parc de l'Aigua is close enough for a short outing, while the Sierra Helada area and the Algar Waterfalls offer more substantial excursions by car. The tour desk can help with organising time away from the hotel.

Free private parking is available on site, with no reservation required, making the hotel easier to manage if you arrive by car or hire one at the airport. Alicante–Elche Miguel Hernández Airport is about 41 miles away by road; an airport transfer can be arranged privately or as a shared shuttle through the hotel if that service is available for your dates. The railway station at Altea is around 0.9 miles away on foot.

Check-in runs from 14:00 to 22:00, and check-out from 08:00 to 12:00. The adults-only policy is firm: guests must be at least 18 to check in, children are not accommodated, and cots or extra beds are not available. Pets are not allowed either.

WiFi is free throughout the property. Private check-in and check-out, daily housekeeping, a shared lounge with television and a tour desk are available, while laundry, dry-cleaning and ironing services can be arranged as chargeable extras. Cash is the accepted payment method listed for the hotel, so plan that part before you arrive rather than discovering it at the desk with a bag over one shoulder.
