The Hotel Salobreña Suites is the official one and also the venue where all games will be played. It should accomodate all players and accompanying persons.

Hotel Solobrena

Hotel Salobreña

Situated in the very centre of the Tropical Coast of Granada is the place where we discover Salobreña. White and shining, next to the Rock which looks at the sea, between geraniums and serpentine streets with antique Arabian smell, maritime breeze, shiny sun rays where everything shines.

Pool view

Impressive view from the hotel

Located at the top of the rock promontory, due to its strategic location and its transcendence in the history of the town, it stands as a reference landmark par excellence. From its towers, the view it offers is really impressive: the blue sea mixed on the horizon with the sky, the green vegetation interrupted sharply by a hilly amphitheatre and the snow-capped peaks of the Sierra Nevada in the winter.

The streets surrounded by beautiful palm trees.
