Eco-hotel near the lagoons opens a new period for objections

Torrevieja Town Council has opened a 30-working-day period for submitting objections to a proposed eco-hotel beside the Lagunas de La Mata y Torrevieja Natural Park. The project, promoted by Inner Wellness Eco Resorts, S. L., would be located mainly in La Mata and would also affect 5.49 hectares within the municipality of Guardamar del Segura.

The notice was published in the Diari Oficial de la Generalitat Valenciana on 27 October 2026. The period began the following day. The file, reference number 94155/2026, can be consulted on Torrevieja Town Council’s website and at the Department of Urban Planning and Activities, at calle Maldonado, 10.

The proposal предусматриes renovating and expanding an existing building to create accommodation, a restaurant and communal areas. It also includes a classroom devoted to the natural environment of the park, a spa, meditation areas and swimming pools with natural filtration systems. The architectural project was designed by the Zero Plus studio.

The environmental and agricultural measures include restoring traditional vineyards in La Mata, rehabilitating salt-marsh areas and creating spaces for pollinators. The plan also includes a permaculture garden and an agrivoltaic installation, which would combine crop growing with solar electricity generation.

The documents propose photovoltaic panels, biomass heating and aerothermal climate control. They also include water-saving and reuse measures, such as wastewater treatment and greywater recycling. These measures are proposed as part of the project, and their scope is among the matters being assessed by the authorities.

The file includes an environmental impact study, a landscape integration study and a flood-risk study. The Generalitat Valenciana must assess the project’s environmental impact, while Torrevieja Town Council is processing the environmental licence. Opening the public consultation period does not mean that the hotel has been approved.

The main plot is in La Mata, but the planned area in Guardamar means the process also affects the neighbouring municipality. The natural park forms part of a 3,717.297-hectare Ramsar wetland included in the Natura 2000 network. The site extends across Torrevieja, Guardamar, Los Montesinos and Rojales. Objections submitted during the consultation period will be added to the file before the necessary permits are decided.
