In the know
- Our favourite rooms
- All rooms at Hotel V are beautiful – so there’s no need to worry about being stuck with the chamber that no one wants. Our absolute favourites, though, are rooms 10 and 11. The former, the only room with a terrace, has wonderful views over the hills and down to the ocean, while the latter has high ceilings and a mezzanine level that acts as the ideal sitting area. Its enormous windows and well-chosen antique furniture are real selling points, too.
- Packing tips
- Take a surfer-style hoodie to protect you from the levante winds that occasionally sweep down from the north. And make sure you pack a parasol or two – many of the beaches in the area are completely unspoilt, and devoid of sunbed hire.
Food & drink
- Hotel restaurant
- The hotel has no restaurant – though stylish tapas and salads, making use of fresh seafood and local produce, are available in the courtyard or on the roof terrace.
- Dress code
- Light shirts and airy trousers – maybe a cashmere jumper for when it gets cooler later on.
- Top table
- Enjoy a light bite up on the roof terrace – where there’s also an honesty bar – and take in the views of Morocco on the other side of the water.
- Last orders
- The honesty bars get locked at 11pm.
- Room service
- Tapas is available between 7am and 11pm.
- Hotel bar
- There is no bar as such, though guests often congregate on sofas in the cosy saloon, where they can get drinks from an honesty bar and relax to a soft jazz and lounge soundtrack.
