Asia Gardens Hotel & Thai Spa.

Perched in the Sierra Cortina mountains with views over the Costa Blanca, Asia Gardens swaps the typical Benidorm high-rise aesthetic for a meticulously crafted Balinese sanctuary. The property is defined by its massive botanical gardens—home to 150,000 plants—and seven distinct swimming pools that range from family-friendly lagoons to quiet, adults-only infinity edges. Rooms lean into Southeast Asian luxury with dark hardwoods, kimonos, and terrace views of the Mediterranean. The culinary program is expansive, featuring nine restaurants that jump from Thai fusion to Italian and gourmet Mediterranean. However, the true centerpiece is the Thai Spa, where therapists trained at Bangkok’s Wat Po Temple perform traditional massages in a space that feels worlds away from mainland Spain.
