Santa Pola's iconic N-332 Landmark Hotel is set for a major renovation, transforming the long-abandoned Rocas Blancas complex into a four-star hotel with 105 rooms. The project, approved by the council, aims to begin shortly, with construction expected to take about 18 months and complete by September 2028. The redevelopment will also include a pedestrian bridge across the busy N-332, linking the 23,000-square-meter hotel site with Santa Pola's town centre and the Molí de la Calera area, which features a protected local landmark.
The bridge will allow guests to reach the town safely without using a car, reducing traffic disruption on the N-332. The project, expected to restore the building's tourism appeal, has received a 50% reduction in local Construction, Installations and Works Tax from the council. Grupo ASA, the developer, has been working on the plan since 2023, with recent activity including clearing vegetation, removing graffiti, and strengthening the structure.
The hotel, which once boasted a swimming pool, spa, gym, and a large event space, closed in 2010 due to economic crisis and neglect. The redevelopment promises to create employment, attract visitors, and preserve a significant cultural landmark.
