Villa Richmond, Gran Alacant Overview
Villa Richmond is located in Gran Alacant, Spain. Rated 8.0 out of 10 based on 18 guest reviews.
Villa Richmond is a relaxed stay in Gran Alacant, Spain, suited to travelers who want beach time without giving up comfort. The property sits at 35 Calle Monte de Santa Pola Bungalow 30, and its outdoor spaces make it easier to slow down between swims and day trips. Guests typically mention the practical setup and the quiet feel, and the overall guest rating of 8/10 from 18 reviews suggests a generally positive experience.
Inside, you can expect air conditioning for warmer days and a non-smoking environment, which matters for anyone sensitive to smells. Free wired internet helps when you need to check plans or work briefly, while the terrace gives you a place to settle after a day out. The access to a nearby outdoor pool, plus pool sun loungers and an exercise/lap pool, is a standout for active guests who don’t want to rely only on the beach.
In terms of area highlights, Playa del Carabassí is about 2 km away and Playa La Ermita roughly 3 km, so you can reach the coastline quickly for sunrise swims or late-afternoon walks. If you’re planning a bigger outing, Santa Pola Salt Flats are around 16 km and Santa Pola’s lighthouse is at a similar distance, offering a different landscape from the sand.
Villa Richmond is best for couples, small families, and solo travelers who value a calm base, reliable comfort like air conditioning, and easy access to both beaches and pool time.

Should You Book Villa Richmond?
Worth considering if you want a comfortable, relaxed base in Gran Alacant with solid guest satisfaction (8/10 from 18 reviews) and practical amenities like air conditioning and access to outdoor pool time. It’s a good fit for beach-and-day-trip travelers, but it’s not positioned as a walk-everywhere nightlife hub based on the information provided.
Best For

- Families needing family rooms and a comfortable stay with air conditioning and a terrace
- Golf and sightseeing day-trippers who can use the location to reach Alicante Golf (24 km) and Elche Palm Grove (35 km)
- Travelers who value basic connectivity and comfort, including free wired internet and non-smoking rooms

- Travelers who prefer on-site parking convenience without relying on discounted offsite parking options
What to Expect
Check-in feels straightforward and relaxed, with the property’s outdoor spaces setting the tone for a slower pace. Mornings can start with pool time using the nearby outdoor pool access and exercise/lap pool options, then you can step out for day trips. Guests’ overall impressions are positive for comfort and convenience, reflected in the 8/10 rating from 18 reviews.
