ASIA GARDENS HOTEL & THAI SPA
History & Story
The project is a new construction on a plot of 200,000 sq. to bring a corner of Asia to the Mediterranean coast, not only through it architecture, landscaping and decoration but also through its spirit its energy, and it special magic which fill the dreams of westerners. The land which the project has been designed for has steep slopes from north to south with spectacular views of the Mediterranean stretching out far into the distance. Skillful use of lighting has virtually produced 2 hotels: a daytime one under the strong Mediterranean sun; and the other after nightfall with subtle, indirect and evocative lighting to relax the spirit and which gives the place an air of magic and mystery. The lighting has been designed almost with the spirituality which has always been a characteristic of the Far East.

Fun Facts
The hotel’s Pinus Pentaphylla Macro bonsai comes from the Saitama Ken region, some 30 kilometers from Tokyo in Japan.
The Macro bonsai at Asia Gardens Hotel was planted approximately 175 years ago by the Nakayama family on their estate, almost two centuries of generation after generation they have cultivated and carefully shaped it in accordance with the Japanese techniques and traditions.
On creating the hotel’s landscaped gardens in 2007, it was decided that a tree should be planted as the hotel’s emblem. After a great searching for the perfect specimen, this spectacular Macro bonsai was finally purchased.
The Macro bonsai tree’s journey from Saitama Ken to Valencia took eight weeks and on arrival at the Port of Valencia it spent three months in quarantine, as required by European law, to ensure it was free from any pests or diseases from the country of origin.
