Cons

• If you want to explore the area and beaches and city sites, just know you'll need to drive about 10-15 minutes.

Authenticity

Arima Hotel & Spa celebrates its location and integrates nature and sustainability into its design. The hotel's structure is built using natural materials like stone, iron, and wood and features soft fabrics in neutral tones and organic amenities. Its stunning architecture includes large terraces and an aluminum skin that plays with sunlight and forest reflections, creating a harmonious balance between the hotel and its surroundings in the Miramón Forest.

Location

Located just 15 minutes by car from the city center of San Sebastián, Arima Hotel & Spa offers the best of both worlds: a tranquil setting facing the lush forest and easy access to the bustling city life. Though you'll feel cozy in the countryside, the street along the hotel's entrance is a little busy and houses a hospital. You'll be very near to walking paths, the Eureka Science Museum, and the Basque National Orchestra. The city's Amara neighborhood is just a five-minute drive, though getting to La Concha Beach is closer to 10 minutes and the Old Town 15 minutes.

Rooms & Bathrooms

The hotel's rooms have been meticulously designed to provide a comfortable and relaxing stay. State-of-the-art sound insulation, temperature and humidity level control, and a low concentration of CO2 ensure optimal comfort. The rooms are filled with soft, natural light and furnished with natural materials, creating a cozy and inviting ambience.

Amenities

Arima Hotel & Spa offers a wealth of amenities, such as the Foresta Wellness Boutique Gym & Spa, where you can enjoy the only boutique gym and spa in San Sebastián. The gym's state-of-the-art equipment and diverse range of classes, from yoga to indoor cycling, cater to all fitness levels. The spa has a heated indoor water area, infrared saunas, a halotherapy room, and a relaxation room. There is also an indoor lounge and co-working space. The hotel is suitable for wheelchairs, with an elevator and some accessibility-adapted rooms available.
