Hotel Arima & Spa

Eco-friendly style with forest views near the coastal chic of San Sebastián

Rising above the treetops of the Miramón Forest is Hotel Arima & Spa, a boutique retreat in the Basque Country in total harmony with its surroundings. Set in a stunning building that seems to float amidst the leafy landscape, it champions a ‘live green, love green’ philosophy that puts eco credentials at its core – from clean energy systems to a menu dedicated to locally-grown ingredients.

Whether you’re lounging by the rooftop pool in the summer months or indulging in a footpath ritual in the nature-inspired Foresta Wellness Spa, Hotel Arima will bring you closer to nature. Floor-to-ceiling windows let in dappled, natural light. Each room boasts a rain shower and unique prints of flowers and wildlife on its walls. And sleek, contemporary furniture works seamlessly with a neutral colour palette of wood, stone and iron.

If you want to swap forest views for a little sea air, San Sebastián is within easy distance. Make your way to Playa de la Concha to feel the sand between your toes. Seek out one of the city’s many lively Pintxos bars to sample traditional Basque tapas. Or settle in to one of the city’s many Michelin-star restaurants for something truly spectacular. The hotel is perfectly located for exploring the Basque region. Head to Saint Jean de Luz and Biarritz in just 20 minutes or Bilbao and Pamplona in an hour. If you want to stay close to the hotel, why not rent an electric bike and explore the local area.

Enjoy your stay!

Environmentally Conscious

As a certified Passivhaus property, this ‘soulstainable’ retreat has been entirely constructed according to sustainable principles, and is a prototype of zero energy buildings. The savings in CO2 emissions are similar to what 15,000 trees would absorb annually. Alongside biodegradable amenities and charging stations for e-vehicles, the hotel has 28 geothermal wells that connect with an aerothermal system to provide hot water, heat and cooling.

SLH Considerate Collection

Cultural Custodians

Championing the culinary culture of Basque Country through regular visits to local farmers’ markets, Hotel Arima uses locally sourced, organic ingredients in its deli, café and restaurant – from fish collected daily at the morning market to the gourmet tapas menu. There is also a dedicated space within the hotel where local producers and artisans have the opportunity to sell traditional Basque clothing, showcasing the skills of centuries-old craftsmanship.

SLH Considerate Collection

Community Minded

While laying down its roots in the Miramón Forest, Hotel Arima branched out into the Basque Country community by collaborating with local landscapers who select native plants and trees especially for the surrounding environment. The ‘live green, love green’ hotel also takes advice from the accumulated experience of gardeners based in the area and purchases plants from local nurseries with a high level of biodiversity in regional plant production.
