Alma Pamplona

Hotel details

The Alma Muga de Beloso sits in rolling Spanish countryside, a bold minimalist structure that houses a luxurious 5-star hotel. Despite its isolated appearance, it is in fact just minutes from the town of Pamplona.

Built from the ground up, the Alma is a monument to cubism. Its black stone and glass exterior is modern to the extreme and has the benefit of creating a spacious and light interior to the hotel.

This boutique establishment offers just 59 rooms with superlative levels of luxury. Oversized beds and state-of-the-art technology such as LCD televisions and free Wi-Fi make for a comfortable stay here, while complimentary minibars and 24-hour room service are nice touches.

In keeping with the styling, the rooms are beautiful airy spaces filled with designer furniture and fittings that use natural materials such as leather, wood and marble to great effect. In addition to impressive views, rooms have gargantuan bathrooms, complete with rainfall showers and all the modern features expected of a hotel of this calibre.

Visitors can choose to work out in the hotel’s gym, relax in its excellent spa and sauna, or alternatively explore the beauty of northern Spain on a rental bicycle.

The restaurant here is a delightfully unpretentious affair offering high-quality gourmet dishes at reasonable prices. The menu is not huge, but conjures up many delights including local meat and seafood dishes.

And, after food like this, most guests will simply want to make a beeline for the bar next door with its inviting sofas, low lighting and vast array of tasty night caps.
