WHY WE PICKED THIS HOTEL
It has the mood of a small Mediterranean boutique escape, with the pool, spa, restaurant and nearby coves shaping most of the day
HOTEL DESCRIPTION
Nomad Resort & SPA La Cala Finestrat sits by the sea in La Cala, between Benidorm and Villajoyosa, with Poniente Beach and Cala de Finestrat both within a short walk. It has a calmer, more polished coastal feel than central Benidorm, with sea-facing spaces, terraces, and an easy beachside rhythm. The hotel keeps an intimate boutique feel with just 22 rooms, while still offering indoor and outdoor pools, a spa, restaurant, bar, and pool bar. It works well for travellers who want a relaxed Costa Blanca stay with the beach close by, but still easy access to Benidorm’s restaurants, nightlife, and coastal walks.
Our take on the stay
Bob
The appeal is in the mix: indoor and outdoor pools, spa, restaurant, café, terraces and a small boutique scale that makes the hotel feel relaxed rather than oversized
HOTEL LOCATION
THIS IS GREAT
A position between Poniente Beach and Cala de Finestrat, giving guests easy access to two different stretches of coast without staying directly in the busiest part of Benidorm
A restored 1950s hostal with a more personal story, reworked into a contemporary boutique resort with warmer materials and a slower Mediterranean feel
Indoor and outdoor swimming pools, which make the hotel useful beyond just beach weather and give the stay more flexibility throughout the day
A pool bar and terrace areas, creating a natural place for drinks, lunch and slower afternoons close to the water
A spa with treatment rooms, adding a proper wellness layer to the hotel rather than just a simple massage menu
A laid-back restaurant and café serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, so the hotel works well for easy days when you do not want to move around too much

Benidorm
Benidorm rises sharply along the Costa Blanca, where high-rise buildings, long beaches, and a constant Mediterranean energy define the coastline. Just beyond the centre, Cala Finestrat feels noticeably calmer, with a smaller bay backed by low-rise streets and quieter seaside restaurants. Nomad Cala Finestrat is set right by this cove, offering a more relaxed side of the area while staying close to Benidorm’s coastline and beach life.
