Hotel Magic Villaluz
Hotel Magic Villaluz is a hotel in Gandia, a coastal town on the Mediterranean coast of Valencia, Spain. The building sits a short walk from the beach and has outdoor areas that include an open-air jacuzzi.
Gandia has drawn visitors for centuries, and its seafront area grew into a major tourist destination during the 20th century. The hotel was built as part of this wave of development along the Valencian coast.
The name Villaluz means 'house of light' in Spanish, which fits well with the sunny character of the Gandia coast. The open outdoor areas of the hotel reflect how people in this part of Spain tend to spend much of the day outside.
The hotel sits in a walkable area where the beach and the main streets of Gandia are easy to reach on foot. Local buses are available nearby for those who want to explore further along the coast.
The hotel draws on the work of Joaquín Sorolla, a Valencian painter from the early 20th century known for his scenes of sunlight on water and white fabrics. This reference shapes the color palette and light choices found throughout the building.
