INTRODUCTION
Located 20 minutes from Alicante, Meliá Villaitana was
designed to simulate a Mediterranean village. It is located
between two golf courses designed by Nicklaus Design and has
fantastic views of the Gran Bahía on the Costa Blanca. Its
25 individual buildings and unique architectural style
reproduce the region’s picturesque squares and historical
streets.Alicante itself is a city and port on the Costa
Blanca, the capital of the province of Alicante and of the
comarca of Alacantí, in the south of the Valencian
Community. It is also a historic Mediterranean port. The
population of the city of Alicante proper was 332,067,
estimated as of 2014, ranking as the second-largest
Valencian city. Including nearby municipalities, the
Alicante conurbation had 452,462 residents. The population
of the metropolitan area (including Elche and satellite
towns) was 757,085 as of 2014 estimates, ranking as the
eighth-largest metropolitan area of Spain.
