Where is the Solana Hotel from Benidorm?

The Solana is the hotel featured in the show where the Benidorm characters stay.

However, although the hotel featured is a REAL hotel, it is not called the Solana - and there are two of them.

The hotel is actually called Sol Pelícanos Ocas and it is a twin hotel with the outside shots and pool scenes filmed there.

It is in Benidorm, Alicante, Spain.

There is a kids' club and the beach is only 300 metres away.

The hotel is located 50km from Alicante Airport.

Unfortunately, you won't find the Solana's reception area or Kenneth's Blow and Go salon, as these scenes are filmed on a set half a mile away from the real hotel.

The room scenes are also filmed in the Acuarium II Apartments, which are next door to the Sol Pelícanos Ocas hotel.

How much does it cost to stay at the hotel?

Prices vary from when you are going and where you are flying out from.

They also depend on which room you book, from a single and superior, to Sol room pool view and family room with balcony.

The time of year you visit will also affect the price.
