A popular beachfront hotel on Gandía's Blue Flag beach, with comfortable rooms, outdoor pool, beach club, and easy access to the town centre and nightlife.
Hotel Solymar Gandia Beach is a four-star beachfront hotel on Calle Alcoi in the Playa de Gandía district, in the Valencia province of Spain's Valencian Community. The hotel sits directly on Gandía's Blue Flag beach — one of the most celebrated urban beaches on the Costa Valencia, renowned for its wide sandy strand and clean Mediterranean waters. The Playa de Gandía resort area is approximately 3 kilometres from historic Gandía's centre, where the Ducal Palace of the Borja dynasty, a significant Renaissance monument, draws cultural visitors alongside the beach-going crowd.
The hotel's rooms are designed around the beach clientele, with all featuring balconies; sea-facing categories offer direct views of the Mediterranean and are the most requested. An outdoor swimming pool and adjacent terrace serve guests who prefer a pool environment, and are particularly popular with families of young children. A beach club operates in summer with sunlounger and parasol hire on the adjacent sand, creating a seamless transition between hotel and beach. The restaurant serves buffet breakfast and dinner with a focus on local seafood and rice dishes for which the Valencia region is celebrated; proximity to the Albufera lagoon means excellent paella ingredients are regionally sourced.
Hotel Solymar Gandia Beach is consistently in demand with Spanish and international families during July and August, when the hotel runs full entertainment programming for children. The resort area surrounding the beach extends for several kilometres and contains a wide range of bars, restaurants, and nightlife active late into summer nights. Gandía itself is well connected to Valencia by the FGV narrow-gauge train line, which runs from Gandía's centre to Valencia Nord station in approximately 70 minutes — making the hotel viable as a beach base for a multi-city Valencian itinerary. Rental bicycles are available locally for exploring the flat coastal promenade.

Tips for visiting
- Book at least 3 months in advance for July and August — the hotel fills quickly and nightly rates rise steeply in peak weeks.
- Sea-view rooms with east-facing balconies catch the morning sun rising over the Mediterranean — well appreciated at sunrise.
- The FGV train from Gandía station to Valencia Nord runs approximately every 30 minutes and takes about 70 minutes — good for a day trip to the city.
- The beach is widest near the northern end close to the hotel; walking south toward the port area finds a slightly quieter stretch.
- Hire a bicycle locally to cycle the flat coastal promenade, which extends northward toward Oliva and eventually toward Dénia.
- All-inclusive or half-board packages during July and August offer better total-cost control than paying individual restaurant prices in peak season.
