What is the Sea & Sierra Experience?

Where better to enjoy a ski holiday than in the second highest mountain range in Western Europe? At an altitude of 3,483 metres, Sierra Nevada is nestled amongst the foothills of the Spanish mountains in the province of Granada. Declared a National Park in 1999, you will appreciate spectacular views in the region which is renowned for its biodiversity and natural beauty.

The resort’s enviable climate allows for skiing into early May making this a fantastic option for an end-of-season ski trip. It also provides a unique opportunity to combine your ski holiday with a luxurious beach holiday in Marbella which is just a couple of hours drive away.

STAY: El Lodge, Sierra Nevada (3 nights)

Located in Monachil, in the heart of the Sierra Nevada ski resort, El Lodge is a delightful, alpine-style boutique retreat right on the slopes. With 21 guest rooms, the Lodge can be booked as a whole, becoming your own private chalet with a team of staff to attend to your every need. Alternatively you may prefer to reserve an individual suite, most of which benefit from their own outdoor terraces and Jacuzzi for total relaxation.

With an outdoor sauna, Finnish baths and heated swimming pools, as well as an indoor pool, sauna, Turkish bath and two treatment rooms, it is clear that rest and relaxation is taken seriously at El Lodge. Enjoy a massage or just soak up the sun on a lounger whilst enjoying the spectacular mountain views.

El Lodge has a number of different restaurants, including the ski-in/ski-out Sun Deck with its fusion menu of homemade soups and BBQ platters. Breakfast, lunch and dinner can be enjoyed at The Grill which serves everything from game and fondue to fresh grilled fish and Caviar de Riofrio, the first certified organic caviar in the world, which is produced not far from Sierra Nevada. Drinks can be enjoyed in The Lounge around the fireplace or in The Bar which features vintage ski decor and classic cocktails.
