The works to build what will be the first seven start hotel in Spain, the ‘Bahía Fenicia’ in Almuñécar, Granada, are awaiting the decision of the Andalucía Environment Council in their environmental report.
The works were forecast to begin at the start of this year, and now the Councillor for Town Planning, Public Works and Environmental Activities in Almuñécar Town Hall, José Manuel Fernández Medina, said the process would be complete ‘in a few days’ allowing construction to start on the Peñón del Lobo.
The councillor has underlined the ‘collaboration with the Junta de Andalucía after a 180º turn in Almuñécar with the departure of Juan Carlos Benavides as Mayor.
The hotel is expected to employ 600 people.
Presuming the environmental report is a favourable one, building is expected to start in two weeks.
The project is planned to take 36 months, and that includes the hotel, and 55 residential villas.
The hotel will have standard 40 square metre rooms, and 50 private apartments.
Facilities will include limousine, helicopter and private butler.
230 million € is being invested in the project by Banyan Tree Holdings which is located between Marina del Este and Cotobro.
