A setting on the Costa Blanca where the architecture of a traditional village creates distinctive MICE experiences
On Spain’s Costa Blanca, Occidental Pueblo Acantilado offers a concept that is far from typical for corporate events. Located on a cliff overlooking the Mediterranean and around 35 minutes from Alicante Airport, the hotel has been designed as an authentic Levantine village, with streets, squares and colourful houses that recreate the traditional architecture of the region.
This configuration adds a distinctive dimension to MICE events. Instead of being confined to a conventional hotel building, meetings, activities and social moments can take place across different areas of the “village”, creating a more natural flow between participants and encouraging interaction among group members.
The hotel features 100 rooms spread across the complex, many of them with sea views, allowing corporate groups to stay in a relaxed and bright environment that combines business with destination experience.
Spaces designed to create events with character
One of the hotel’s most unique features is its open-air amphitheatre, a space ideal for presentations, plenary sessions or special activities in an open setting overlooking the Mediterranean. These types of venues bring dynamism to the programme and offer an appealing alternative to traditional meeting formats.
The layout of the complex also makes it possible to organise themed experiences inspired by local culture. Using its streets and squares, events can recreate the atmosphere of a traditional Spanish village fair, combining local gastronomy, music and activities that transform the corporate programme into a more immersive experience.
Alicante: an emerging destination for MICE programmes
The surroundings of the hotel further enhance its appeal for corporate groups. Alicante has established itself as an emerging destination for MICE events, thanks to its international connectivity, mild year-round climate and Mediterranean lifestyle.
The city combines urban beaches, a lively historic centre and iconic landmarks such as Santa Bárbara Castle. These characteristics allow event programmes to be complemented with activities such as year-round water sports, cultural routes or gastronomic experiences that bring participants closer to the authentic character of the destination.
Thanks to its architecture inspired by a traditional village, its cliffside location and the versatility of its spaces, Occidental Pueblo Acantilado offers a setting where corporate events can go beyond the conventional meeting format. The combination of environment, local culture and adaptable venues makes it possible to design authentic and memorable experiences for participants. If you are considering the Costa Blanca for your next corporate event, this setting could be the ideal place to bring your programme to life.
