Vega de Almayate - Beach Resort & Spa

“La Vega de Velez-Malaga has maintained its natural value thanks to the continued exploitation of its agricultural resources,sustained by a network of infrastructures that gives this territory acultural value.

The incorporation of high-density hotel accommodation equipment
should not alter this fragile ecosystem; with his proposal, Alejandro
does not pretend that this sensitive vision conditions it and does not
renounce to achieve a project that combines this approach to the
landscape with a dense, effective, accurate solution and competitive
strategies in this sector; which shows ample capacity to face the world
of work.


These qualities of great professionalism, is shown in all aspects of
the work, both at the design level and in the technical and material
solutions; all conditioned by an ecological reading of the project.
From touching the ground with the minimum elements hanging the
building of a curved beam of wood, material with which the building is
constructed, until introducing the water cycle of the hotel in the process
of landscape for the plantation of the orchards. All with an exhaustive
work of calculation that verifies its operation and that Alejandro needs
to sustain his proposal.


The building is functionally clear, composed of hybrid uses that allows
not only to serve the hosted public, but it is also a building for the city; its
position, rotundity and light appearance, part of a simple organization,
looking for the best positions for the entire program. The operation is
exceptional, crossing the accesses and circuits of workers and tourists
without coming to meet. And all this, shown in a simple and apparent
naturalness, making believe that architecture can be an easy task”
