Meliá Sol y Nieve, Sierra Nevada Overview
Meliá Sol y Nieve is a 4-star hotel in Sierra Nevada, Spain. Rated 7.9 out of 10 based on 334 guest reviews.
Meliá Sol y Nieve is a 4-star hotel in Sierra Nevada, Spain, set at Plaza de Padrollano, s/n, in the heart of the ski resort area.

Guests consistently rate the hotel at 7.9/10 from 334 reviews, with many visitors highlighting the convenience for skiing and the comfort of the on-site wellness time after a day outside.
The standout is the Yhi Spa, a large 2,500 m² space with hydrothermal circuits and multiple pools, plus an area designed for children, which helps families keep everyone entertained without always leaving the property. After dinner, the Q-Lounge is a useful option for relaxed evenings, including live music, while the restaurant setup and room service cover both buffet-style meals and simpler in-room choices.
For winter logistics, the hotel’s ski-school and equipment-rental support in the surrounding Pradollano area reduces the friction of planning lessons or getting geared up, and there’s also a games room for downtime between activities.
