Best Place to Stay in Gibraltar: The Sunborn 5 Star Yacht Hotel

During my splendid trip to Gibraltar I had the great pleasure of spending five magnificent days at the Sunborn Yacht Hotel. This luxurious hotel is actually a mega-yacht docked at the Ocean Village, together with the other boats and yachts, but surely the biggest one! πŸ™‚ From almost every room you can get a great sea-view while enjoying The Rock of Gibraltar changing colors from the sunrise to the sunset.

The city center with shops is very close, easy to reach within 10 minutes walk. To have a better idea about what to do and what to see in Gibraltar, check out my full article about all the places I visited: CLICK HERE

PENTHOUSE SUITE AT SUNBORN GIBRALTAR

Overall, I honestly had a blast discovering Gibraltar! In addition, I have been so lucky to get the best accommodation in town: the Super-Yacht Penthouse Suite at the Sunborn Hotel! πŸ™‚

This luxurious suite is very spacious that you can really feel like staying in your own flat! When I walked in I got astonished by the beautiful and unique interiors! I also really liked having two different views: one from the big terrace and other one overlooking the port!

I also hugely appreciated the warm welcome from the reception: they sent to my suite some champagne together with a delicious set of finger food, with macaroons, fruits, ham and cheese! So good!

After enjoying this lovely gift from the management, I immediately stepped outside to enjoy the beautiful weather from the wide terrace of the suite! You cannot imagine how comfortable that hammock is… πŸ™‚

The other big highlight fromΒ  this magnificent suite was surely the bath! I love taking warm baths as much as I can, and this one was incredibly inviting! Wasn’t it?

After dinner, I got back to my suite finding a pillow mist on each side. I adored this detail. I sprayed it all over and it was so pleasant! Details are everything…

DINING @ SUNBORN HOTEL GIBRALTAR

As per my experience, the best meals you can get in Gibraltar are at the Sunborn Restaurants, no doubt! I have tried a few places near by and none of them were as good as The Sky Restaurant and La Sala Restaurant!

In the morning, I had breakfast at the Sky Restaurant on 7th floor. It was a beautiful day, so we had it on the terrace, overlooking the port! The buffet offers a wide selection of food, good for every palate. Service was impeccable and fast. High quality of food, everything freshly cooked and prepared.

For lunch, I tried La Sala Restaurant on 2nd floor. I had seafood pasta with a great glass of Chardonnay. On a side note: I am Italian, so I can guarantee that the pasta was so good! πŸ™‚

On my third night, I had dinner at the Sky Restaurant: once again, the service was impeccable! Food and champagne on point! This place is perfect also for a romantic date, even if you do not stay at the hotel. You can book it also as a non-guest of the hotel. Highly recommended!
