Bear in mind that the municipal elections will take place before May is out. Having said that, there has been an announcement on an upcoming hotel...
Apparently, Salobreña is a step away from having its first of several hotels planned for the TH1 and TH2 beach areas.
It is on the second sector, on the municipal limits with Motril, just across from the river mouth, that this large hotel will go up.
The TH2 development sector covers some 907,000 sq/m, 200,000 sq/m of which can be built upon.’ Obviously, this is not just for one hotel but rather all the hotels that are projected.
The hotels, for which there is room for six, must meet minimum requirements, such as having a 4-star or 5-star categories.
The first one, Hotel Resort, will belong to the hotel chain, Impressive, which opened its first and only hotel in 2005 in Motril’s beach area, previously known as Hotel Robinson. (you need at least two hotels to be a ‘chain,’ after all).
The Mayor met with the hotel-chain owner, Juan Fierro, to sign the initial agreement yesterday morning. She pointed out later that this is the first step in joining Motril’s urban beach area with Salobreña’s one.
Now the accord has to be passed in the coming Plenary Meeting of the Town Council next Tuesday, where there shouldn’t be any problems.

500+ showers, 500+ toilets etc will consume huge quantities of water……… which is an already critically low resource

What about the two hotels near the Penon rock? Easily forgotten.
You join Salobrena with Playa Granada hotels for the wealthy, a few golf courses where farmers fields were and then onto Motril.
With the waste from the hotels and effluent, how will the sea cope?
It’s a shame really; the loss of a nice destination. So what about the unfinished shells?
Sad news really. These hotels don’t employ many staff, but they do consume a lot of water and create substantial waste. Salobreña is starting to lose some of it’s charm and if the whole coastline is built up like west of Málaga it will be a soulless place. I would like to see the unfinished skeletons finished or demolished first, particularly the monstrosity at the roundabout on Avda Meditterano which I understand was for holiday use. If this hotel development goes bust before it is completed it will be an eyesore for decades.
