Fam Trip | Ábaco Altea

This past week, we brought together a carefully selected group of travel agencies—specializing in tailor-made journeys—to discover one of the most distinctive properties in our collection, in an experience meticulously designed to immerse guests in the charm of Altea.

Hotel Ábaco Altea: history, charm, and heartfelt hospitality

The main focus of this journey was Hotel Ábaco Altea, a welcoming boutique hotel located in the heart of the old town, just a few steps away from the area’s main attractions. The hotel was created through the restoration of an 18th-century former bakery, a project that has successfully preserved the essence of the original building while reinterpreting it with an elegant, warm design full of character.

With meticulous attention to detail and a deeply personal approach to hospitality, its hosts, Thomas and Adelina, have given the hotel a truly unique identity. Each room is different, thoughtfully designed to convey comfort, authenticity, and an immediate sense of home. The result is an intimate space where guests don’t just stay—they truly experience living in the place.

An exclusive experience in the heart of Altea

The proposal took shape as an immersive experience both at Ábaco Altea and in the Mediterranean town that gives it its name, offering a privileged opportunity to discover the property and its picturesque surroundings firsthand.

Upon arrival, the agents were welcomed with a welcome drink before taking part in a comprehensive site inspection of the hotel. Afterwards, accompanied by the property’s director, Adelina Balbuena, they toured Altea on a guided visit that led them through its iconic whitewashed streets, sea-facing viewpoints, and corners of undeniable charm.

The day continued with dinner at Ca Jaume, where they enjoyed a carefully selected menu of seafood and local produce, in a relaxed and authentic setting right by the Mediterranean.

After a restful night at the hotel, the group began the morning with breakfast at Ábaco Altea before heading out to the natural surroundings of Serra Gelada Natural Park. There, they embarked on a hiking route leading to the iconic Faro de l’Albir, a privileged spot with sweeping views over the Mediterranean Sea.

The experience was completed with a meditation session in the heart of nature, designed to foster a deeper connection with the surroundings and reinforce the wellness aspect of the journey. Back at the hotel, the agents had free time to rest, explore the facilities, or further discover the spaces and services of Hotel Ábaco Altea.

As a final highlight, the group shared lunch at La Capella, a restaurant serving authentic Mediterranean cuisine, known for its quality and recommended by the Michelin and Repsol guides.

A complete, inspiring, and deeply hospitable journey that allowed the travel agents to gain a true understanding of both the product and the destination, offering valuable ideas for designing future itineraries aimed at high-value travelers.

This initiative, the result of a collaboration between Domus Selecta and RESTEL, reinforces a concept that embraces experiential tourism and contributes to the creation of journeys with a clear emotional and distinctive value.
