U3A Denia

Back row l to r: Graham, Richard and Chris. Front row l to r: Cazzie, Ginny and Liz

Our aim is to provide our membership with a wide choice of value for money trips to suit all pockets, bearing in mind the rising cost of transport and food. As well as being friendly and fun, we endeavour to make our trips educational/cultural in line with the U3A ethos of continued learning and sharing experiences.

These are the trips we've organised for you for the rest of the year:

10 October - day trip to Ayora for the Honey Festval with lunch. The trip is fully booked.

12 December - Christmas shopping/sightseeing trip to Valencia. We will advertise this trip in early November when you will be able to book.

23-27 December - Five days, full board break in Hotel Kaktus, Albir. We’ve been here twice before and it’s so good that we’re going again!

4 nights’ full board - 4* Hotel Kaktus

Nestled between Benidorm and Altea in the pretty little resort of L’Albir, our hotel is right on the beach and an easy 50 minute drive down the AP7. It’s used by both Saga and Tui, so you can be sure they have all the facilities we Brits love - kettles in the room for our morning cuppa, English TV stations, an International cuisine (eggs and bacon for breakfast - they even serve porridge!), and they have good facilities for disabled travellers, too.

Decorated in an unusual Art Nouveau style with cane furniture and stained glass. it’s open and airy with a superb bar/lounge and dance floor for their regular entertainment evenings. If you’re a card or games player, or just prefer to read or sit and chat, there’s plenty of space to do so.

We organise a Christmas Eve Quiz, Christmas carols on the terrace on Christmas Day, and Boxing Day Bingo with a difference!

Albir is a lovely town with lots of shops and cafés. It has a flat promenade which goes all the way to Altea. Our rooms are large with comfortable seating and all have a side view of the beach and promenade.

Meals are served buffet-style and we all agreed the food last year was excellent.

The hotel charges €15 a night for their underground car park, but you could probably find parking in nearby streets for free.

The price includes a Gala Christmas Eve Dinner, a Gala Christmas Day Lunch, and wine and water with meals (including the non-gala ones). We’ve had two wonderful Christmases here, which is why we’re going again. I hope you can join us.

Price: 23 - 27 December (5 days, 4 nights) full board
- double room - 454 euros per person
- single room - 584 euros
