<\/figure>\n\n\n\nFor those who\nknow nothing about the Meli\u00e1 Villaitana Hotel, how would you describe it\nconsidering your personal experience at the resort?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I will try to\ndistance myself from my position as General Manager. However, I can tell you\nthat from the first minute you step into Meli\u00e1 Villaitana Hotel you realize you\nare in one of the most impressive resorts in Spain. This is a Mediterranean-style\nhotel, designed down to the last detail and ideally located. All these elements\nmake Meli\u00e1 Villaitana a leading holiday hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meli\u00e1\nVillaitana attracts a wide variety of customers: for meetings, leisure,\nrelaxation, sports, etc. Besides, it is the perfect place to stay: adults only,\ncouples, families or with friends, especially if you are looking for more than\njust an ordinary holiday. You can enjoy an unforgettable experience at this\nresort as there is a wide range of sport, leisure and gastronomic facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How does\nMeli\u00e1 Hotels International contribute to golf management in the area?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s a fact\nthat Meli\u00e1 Villaitana Golf Club has contributed to golf improvement and growth\nactively in the Levante area. Golf has\nbeen growing exponentially for several years due to the number of events,\ntournaments and championships organized and other actions carried out by the\nresort at a local, national and international level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a result,\na tournament of the European Senior Tour was held at the resort last year that\nincluded an inconceivable list of fourteen renowned Ryder Cup players in a\nprofessional tournament. This in itself is a clear example of the provided\nopportunity granted by the European Tour. Regarding the number of golf\nvisitors, quality and service, Meli\u00e1 Villaitana is a reference resort on the\nCosta Blanca and in the Valencia Autonomous Community. Nevertheless, we also\nhave to mention all the work carried out by the Valencia Golf Federation, the\nProvincial Council, Visit Benidorm, and the Costa Blanca and Valencia Community\nGolf Course Association. They are all together committed to our golf offer and\nthey promote it internationally in key markets such as The United Kingdom,\nScandinavia and in North and Central Europe, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the other\nhand, Meli\u00e1 has shown its commitment to golf for many years. It has over 40\ngolf hotels worldwide and it has launched its own golf circuit, the Meli\u00e1 Golf\nInvitational that will be celebrated this year for the thirteenth time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Have there\nbeen any important events in the resort\u2019s history worth mentioning or any must\nfuture events?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hosting the\nStaysure Senior Tour has set a high bar recently. The Costa Blanca Senior\nMasters has had a high socio-economic impact on the area as well as media\ncoverage never seen before. Over 100 online national and international\ncommunication media have covered the event as well as 25 press media and a\nsimilar number of radio stations. We have had 200 hours on TV worldwide with\ntournament summaries broadcasted to all Europe, Eastern Europe, Asia, Africa,\nAustralia, Latin-America and North America, reaching 150 million homes.
