Location was great specially overlooking the marina.

the sunborn yacht hotel gibraltar

Check in was excellent. Very friendly staff, ready to assist with everything. The room was exquisite. We had an excellent view and were more than happy with the room in general. The bed was very comfortable, and we wished we could stay longer. Mohammed at the restaurant gave us the best dining experience we have ever had. The food was excellent, but his attentiveness was over the top

the sunborn yacht hotel gibraltar

It was our second visit to the Sunborn, having first visited last August 2022. As we enjoyed it so much then, we repeated the visit this year. Ideally situated for sightseeing and restaurants, it is in the middle of a vibrant part of Gibraltar. The rooms are very comfortable and the staff very welcoming.

Great location down at the marina with lots of restaurants around

Everything seemed new and fresh, my room was large, location is great. What I liked best was that the staff knew what I liked after only 1 day. Also, I had 1 complicated issue, and they understood it perfectly. They are experienced and friendly.

From the location, to my room, to the amenities in my room, to the view from my room, to the courteous hotel staff, to the service at the hotel, everything was perfect for my birthday stay and my sister and I had an absolutely wonderful and memorable time at this property. Definitely one for the books!

How guest reviews work

Each review score is between 1–10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate "subscores" in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.

You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.

We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.

Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.

Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):

  • Politically sensitive comments
  • Promotional content
  • Illegal activities
  • Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
  • Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
  • Spam and fake content
  • Animal cruelty
  • Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
  • Any violation of our review guidelines.

To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.

An accommodation can reply to a review.

When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.

Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.

Guidelines and Standards for Reviews

These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.

Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.

Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.

All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.

Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.

The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.

By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

  • Full Review
  • Floating high-end hotel in form of super-yacht
  • In buzzing marina, walking distance to restaurants and airport
  • Most rooms open to balconies with marina views
  • Integrated bedside touch-screen control pads
  • Two excellent restaurants, plus three bars
  • Rooftop infinity pool with panoramic views
  • Swanky casino with slots, card tables, and roulette

  • Wi-Fi can be inconsistent

Bottom Line

The Sunborn Gibraltar is a luxury hotel with the novel twist of taking the form of a seven-story super-yacht -- albeit a static one. Its buzzy marina location is within walking distance of both the airport and the medieval streets of Gibraltar's old town. Its 189 rooms and suites impress with high-end features that include integrated touch-screen controls and striking marble bathrooms, plus most open to marina-view balconies. Dining at the two restaurants is excellent, and a rooftop pool (more like a large hot tub), casino, and spa complete an impressive package. Note, however, that the infinity pool is closed during winter months and some rooms overlook noisy bars. A more affordable but less modern option is the clifftop Caleta Hotel , which is also closer to the beaches.

Oyster hotel review, luxury hotel housed in super-yacht with glitzy cruise-ship vibe.

A Hollywood-style red carpet lining the gangway leading into the Sunborn Gibraltar certainly sets the intended tone of glamor and exclusively for this rather unique property. With demand for a new luxury hotel though little space to build one, the solution was this purpose-built floating hotel. Opened in 2014, measuring 465 feet (142 meters), and costing close to $200 million, it feels somewhere between a cruise ship and super-yacht. While it floats and meets almost all the criteria of a sea-faring vessel, it's fixed and never leaves the harbor. A glitzy, nautical vibe permeates throughout the hotel, starting with the reception's Swarovski crystal planet-shaped chandelier and continuing with a sweeping marble staircase, plus ubiquitous polished steel and mirrored panels. A pair of roomy glass elevators provide views over the marina while transporting guests to one of seven floors, including the decked rooftop pool terrace with views of the Rock of Gibraltar. Clientele are largely well-heeled British couples, though business guests and families with kids are also seen here. 

Set in buzzing marina within walking distance of Gibraltar's airport and old town

The hotel is permanently moored in Gibraltar's Ocean Village Marina, a lively waterfront neighborhood set between the North Mole of Gibraltar Harbor and the runway of its airport. As well as plenty of private boats and modern apartment blocks, the marina is lined with restaurants, bars, and boutiques that lend a relaxed, buzzy vibe. Gibraltar’s medieval town center is around 10 minutes on foot, while the Moorish Castle and start of the nature reserve -- known for its semi-wild population of macaques monkeys -- is about 10 minutes' drive. Gibraltar International Airport is just 10 minutes away on foot. 

High-end amenities, glitzy marble bathrooms, and touch-screen control pads

The hotel has 189 guest rooms, including 18 suites, which have the feeling of spacious luxury cruise cabins. They have a smart contemporary finish that includes polished teak, reptile skin-effect paneling, and back-lit fixtures in neutral tones with pops of deep red. Most have floor-to-ceiling glass doors that open to tiny balconies or terraces, with the majority overlooking the marina or airport runway (few night flights means noise is not an issue); some at the rear of the boat can be prone to noise from local bars and clubs. Select suites offer spacious terraces with soft seating.

Amenities are suitably high-end, including large flat-screen TVs, Lavazza coffeemakers, and reasonably-priced minibars, plus free Wi-Fi (though connection speed can be inconsistent). All the lights, media, curtains, and air-conditioning can be controlled via snazzy touch-screen pads next to beds. Glitzy bathrooms are finished in marble and gold mosaic, with roomy walk-in showers, upscale toiletries, full-size hairdryers, and bathrobes; suites also add separate tubs.

Excellent dining and drinking option, plus a rooftop pool 

With two full-service restaurants and several bars also serving light menus, there's certainly no shortage of on-board dining. The main eatery is the Sky Restaurant & Bar, where an extensive hot and cold breakfast buffet includes the likes of smoked salmon and chilled Cava (not included as standard). Lunch and dinner can be enjoyed alfresco both here and at La Sala Restaurant, which also extends to a bar with live DJs and an extensive gin menu. Food is generally excellent. 

A large chunk of the hotel is also given over to health and fitness facilities, including a spa (with massage rooms and sauna), state-of-the-art gym, and rooftop pool with views of the rock. The pool is fairly small and not very deep, making it better suited to taking a dip than swimming. Also note that the pool and surrounding deck close during the winter months. A swanky casino offering slots, card tables, and roulette is additionally available. 

Air Conditioner

Babysitting services, balcony / terrace / patio, beauty / hair salon, business center, dry cleaning, kids allowed, meeting / conference rooms, mini bar (with liquor), poolside drink service, room service, separate bedroom / living room space, supervised kids activities.

Hotel Review: Sunborn Yacht Hotel, Gibraltar

This 5 star rated accommodation is close to the old town of gibraltar, and its sun deck affords great views of the famous rock..

the sunborn yacht hotel gibraltar

Moored in the vibrant Ocean Marina is the imposing Sunborn Yacht Hotel looking bright and resplendent in the heady Gibraltarian sunshine.

Though it looks like it could set sail off at any moment, the ship doesn’t actually have an engine. It’s a purpose-built luxury hotel that has all the makings of a top-notch cruise ship.

On arrival, a team member meets and greets you, helps with luggage, and walks with you along the elegant walkway to the ship’s entrance. The reception looks grandiose with its dazzling blue ball chandelier, marble floors and a sweeping marbled staircase. A flute of Prosecco is offered to welcome you aboard to sip during the check-in procedure. It’s all very civilized.

the sunborn yacht hotel gibraltar

Sunborn Yacht Hotel has a superb location on the waterfront and as Gibraltar is just three miles (5 km) long and just over half a mile (1.2 km) wide everything is close by. A day trip into Spain is possible as the border with La Linea is within walking distance from everywhere.

In effect, Gibraltar is a little piece of Britain on the Med and this hotel offers a luxurious stay in one of the country’s funkiest spots near nightlife, bars and restaurants.

The young and young at heart couples – romance sizzles by the small poolside – as well as families.

Accommodation

The air-conditioned rooms are both spacious and stylish with parquet flooring and curtains that automatically swish open when you enter the keycard to activate the electricity and closes when you leave. Nifty.

There’s a TV, generous wardrobe space, a gorgeous ensuite with a very pleasing rainfall shower and aromatic Molton Brown toiletries. Amenities include a kettle, hairdryer, bathrobes and slippers and a mini-bar for those impulsive in-room tipples.

the sunborn yacht hotel gibraltar

The view over the marina and the moored yachts bobbing on their lees is lovely. And, incredibly, the airport runway. It was shocking how close those planes looked when taking off, and very exciting too.

the sunborn yacht hotel gibraltar

View over the marina from room Sunborn Yacht Delux room 337

Food and Drink

Breakfast is served in the Barbary restaurant and has a small buffet with fruits, pastries, boiled and scrambled eggs, and an option to have freshly made omelettes. You could also go for a full English with hash browns, sausage and beans.

There’s Prosecco on offer if you want to liven it all up.

the sunborn yacht hotel gibraltar

Dinner and lunch at the Barbery offers a fusion of food from the Barbery coast and Mediterranean cuisine but also fish and chips, which incidentally seems to be a staple in Gibraltar.

La Sala is where all the fun is at the weekend. Fine dining and evening dancing to live music or a DJ.

During the day the Aqua bar is open and fuels the party atmosphere around the pool.

Sunborn Yacht has a small pool on the top deck served by a well-stocked bar. It’s not really the kind of pool to swim your daily lengths but enough to cool off in or just to dangle your feet over the edge with a cocktail. Getting a sunbed can be tricky as they get nabbed quite quickly by the clever clogs who claim theirs with the international language of placing their towel on one first thing. However, there are deck chairs too and with music playing (not blaring), it’s a really pleasant vibe overall.

A small gym is on hand to keep you ticking over with your fitness and the Infinity spa with treatment rooms for facials, wraps massage, makeup, nails and hair that’s actually not too expensive.

There is free and fast Wi-Fi throughout the ship including poolside

Doubles start from £223 per night. 

CHECK AVAILABILITY

What’s nearby.

Gibraltar is small country and easy to explore on foot. There’s the shopping of course but the most famous activity is meeting the monkeys on the rock. While you are up there it would be a shame to miss St Michael’s Cave, with its stalagmites and stalactites drenched in light. The light show is magnificent and depicts the creation of Gibraltar as it emerges from the sea.

Military tunnels have also been preserved with recreations to show how they saved Gibraltar from devastation during World War II.

Gibraltar has three beaches at Eastern Bay, Sandy Bay and Catalan Bay. The latter, with its pastel-coloured homes as the backdrop, is the prettiest.

We have stayed at Sunborn, Gibraltar on a few occasions and the last time we stayed there were a few issues. This was the time of Covid and face coverings though. I have to say that now the staffing situation is back to normal and the difference between those times and now are night and day. This visit was very good, a stress free check in and all of the staff that we met were very friendly and helpful for everything that we needed. We had breakfast and Christmas lunch in the Barbary restaurant. I really enjoyed all of the breakfasts there. Krystel who is one of the waiting staff was very nice friendly and fun to have around. Our room was very clean and when we had an issue with viewing our bills on the tv information screen, we had a visit from management and maintenance team within 5 minutes. We were very pleased and impressed with how Sunborn has returned to its original way of dealing with the guests.

Dear Divingmom100 It's wonderful to hear that your recent stay at Sunborn Gibraltar was a positive experience and that the hotel is back on track! I appreciate your understanding of the challenges during the time of Covid and how staffing levels can impact the overall guest experience. I'm pleased to read that the stress-free check-in, friendly and helpful staff, enjoyable breakfasts, and a clean room all contributed to a satisfying stay. It's great that the management and maintenance team promptly addressed any concerns you had, showcasing their commitment to guest satisfaction. Yours Sincerely Gary Barrett

Hotel was beautiful inside however the staff could of been so much nicer really let the place down it felt like they didn’t want to fix the issues that we had and made us feel like it was our problem.

Dear AnonymousX127KH Thank you for your feedback regarding your recent stay with us. It's a shame you haven't left a name or a room number as this would have assisted me in looking into this for you, but please accept my deepest apologises on behalf of our staff. Thank you for your comments regarding our hotel. I do hope you will come back to us in the future, if and when that day comes please feel free to drop us an email once you have book as this will allow our teams to put things right for you. Yours sincerely Gary Barrett

We booked the hotel and a few days later the cost of the room was reduced by around £50 for black friday deal so that just leaves a sore taste in your mouth. The location is amazing but the room was just average. We booked dinner with Santa (which was £18 for adults last year and £35 this year!) we tried to add my elderly mother to our table a week before our arrival and was told that our table was too small to add anyone and they were fully booked (only to find the table had 2 spare spaces so my Mum never made the trip) the food was very enjoyable to be fair.

Dear Mickyo2018. Thank you for your feedback regarding your recent stay with us. I was sorry to read you missed the Black Friday deal as you booked prior to this deal coming out, we had this advertised on our social media page as well as our web site. The bookings for dinner with Santa were released in early October and was very quickly sold out, we are restricted to space in our Barbary restaurant, the table with spaces were down to a no show but these were paid for prior and we had top keep them open just in case our guests did happen to turn up. Thank you for your comments regarding our location and the food was enjoyable to which i have passed this onto our chefs as I'm sure they will be pleased with this. I do hope you will come back to us sometime in 2024, i this day comes please feel free to check our web site for any offers that may be open prior to booking On behalf of the Sunborn team please allow me to wish you and your family a very happy Christmas and a prosperous new year. Yours sincerely Gary Barrett

Spent a week on the Sunborn in Gibraltar as part of a work trip. Lovely hotel, well located. Staff very friendly and accomodating. As it was December the pool was closed so unable to comment on pool or pool bars.

Dear Julie L I'm glad to hear that you had a positive experience during your week-long stay at our hotel namely Sunborn Gibraltar! It's great that you found the hotel lovely and well-located. The friendly and accommodating staff likely contributed to a pleasant stay. While the pool was closed during your December visit, I hope you still enjoyed other amenities and the overall atmosphere of the hotel. I do hope that we may welcome you back sometime in the future, until then take care and thank you once again for your review Warmest Regards Gary Barrett

Accommodation - Sunborn Gibraltar - Exterior view - Gibraltar

Moored in the vibrant Ocean Village Marina, Sunborn Gibraltar is a unique, super luxurious purpose-built yacht. It offers an unrivalled, private experience and sensational gastronomy. Be pampered in the serene Infinity Spa or learn to sail in the sheltered bay and temperate seas on board Gibraltar’s first five-star property.

Ocean Village Marina is a scenic Mediterranean spot for yacht owners exploring the marinas, coastlines and beaches of Spain, Portugal and north Africa. The waterfront is lined with a bounty of bars, restaurants, shops and clubs to while away your time in. Enjoy one of the easiest airport transfers you’ve likely experienced, as Gibraltar International Airport is a mere mile away. Be aware that such proximity means it can be noisy with the sound of planes taking off and landing nearby.

The city of Gibraltar with its medieval town centre, packed with shops occupying handsome Italianate buildings awaits discovery. Chill out in the green oasis that is Alameda Botanical Gardens (two miles away) and visit the Upper Rock Nature Reserve (under four miles away) which is home to rare birds and macaque monkeys. Several of Europe’s premier golf courses are within easy swinging distance. Club de Golf Valderrama, San Roque Club, Real Club de Golf Sotogrande, La Duquesa and Finca Cortesin are all considered to be some of the best courses on the continent and all are within a 30-mile radius.

The luxury tone is set by the ship’s reception area, with its giant mirror ball, covered gangway – complete with marble floors, and display cases crammed with Swarovski crystal and Hublot watches. Each superyacht room features the hallmarks of five-star luxury. Expect beautifully appointed rooms, tastefully furnished in warm tones of cream, caramel and brown shades using bespoke designed furniture. Designed to provide spacious, light-filled accommodation, each room has marina, Rock or sea views, in most cases framed by wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling windows which lead out on to a generous private terrace or balcony. All rooms offer Rituals toiletries.

Dining information

The Sunborn Gibraltar offers two tempting restaurants to choose from, the BARBARY and La Sala. Flagship eatery the Barbary on the top deck is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, serving up unique North African and Mediterranean fusion cuisine, drawing on the rich flavours and spices of the Barbary coast, alongside a few British classics. An accessible range of tapas dishes are available and wines are surprisingly affordable too.

The more informal La Sala offers a fantastic range of menus to choose from. A weekly set lunch menu provides great value, while a diverse a la carte menu features a superb range of Latin, Asian and international dishes. On balmy nights you can dine under the stars on the back terrace, the perfect spot for a romantic dinner for two. Enjoy DJs and live music on certain evenings.

Three bars offer a melange of ambiences to enjoy. Barbary Bar serves drinks, snacks and coffees from 10:00 to midnight, Sapphire Bar is a glamorous spot to unwind with a pre-dinner drink or high tea, while Aqua Bar on the top deck offers the perfect setting poolside. Come nightfall candles and lamps cast flickering reflections on the pool, providing a cosy atmosphere for an early evening refreshment.

Dinner service for half board guests will be served buffet-style in the Barbary restaurant.

Experiencing Gibraltar, from the decks of Sunborn Gibraltar, the 5-Star Yacht Hotel & Casino Resort

the sunborn yacht hotel gibraltar

Recently I visited Gibraltar, gaining a fascinating insight into this historic slice of Britain in the sun. My home-from-home was the luxury Yacht Hotel, Sunborn Gibraltar , writes Andrew Forbes .

Gibraltar is considered one of the ‘Pillars of Hercules’, marking the  gateway to the Mediterranean. Connected to the Iberia Peninsula, on the Bay of Algeciras, it’s a thriving community which has been a British Overseas Territory for some three centuries.

the sunborn yacht hotel gibraltar

Sunborn Gibraltar

Combining the intimacy of a Super Yacht; the glamour of a cruise liner; and the refinement of a luxury hotel, I found Sunborn Gibraltar to be a unique place to enjoy upscale accommodation in Gibraltar. The Liner offers sundecks with bar and plunge pool; a spa & gym; Barbary, the signature fine-dining restaurant; a La Sala Restaurant; and spacious guestrooms and impressive suites with private terraces.

the sunborn yacht hotel gibraltar

Our 5-Star Yacht Hotel experience

From the moment we arrived we felt embraced by the unique upscale yacht hotel experience. As we completed our guest registration, sipping a glass of complimentary bubbles, we were introduced to the services and facilities onboard. In addition to the bars and dining options, there is also a destination casino. Sunborn offers guests a complimentary drink in the casino’s bar, a chip to join a game of roulette; and also, a credit for the slot machines – it’s a way to break the ice for those new to casinos and provide a little after dinner entertainment.

I have to admit to having a few preconceptions about the accommodation onboard. I have been on cruise liners and yachts before and I know the greatest luxury onboard is always space.

So I was so surprised to see just how spacious our suite was. It was probably bigger than many traditional hotel suites. Sunborn was built as an ocean-going luxury vessel, but in fact never set sail as it was acquired to become the world’s first luxury 5-Star Yacht Hotel (there is now a Sunborn in London, and one planned for Manhattan). So Sunborn has been truly designed for luxury as a floating hotel, permanently moored. In case you were wondering, the boat is in a marina so doesn’t move.

the sunborn yacht hotel gibraltar

Our suite not only had a spacious entrance area with work desk, but also a living area that opened onto the private terrace, and then led through to the bedroom.

The suite included a very well stocked bar, with a choice of full-size wines and champagnes and lots of tempting treats. The welcome amenity was a thoughtful gesture – fruit, savoury snacks, and treats; a lovely welcome.

The bedroom, with king size bed, and another wide screen TV was a light-filled space that also opened out onto the private terrace.

The bathroom was beautifully presented and included a tub; bespoke amenities and all the creature comforts you could wish for.

the sunborn yacht hotel gibraltar

Lighting, temperature, privacy sheers, curtains etc were all controlled by an intuitive, touch screen on the multimedia phones.

Dining at Barbary Restaurant

The Barbary Restaurant is where North Africa Meet the Mediterranean. Appropriate really, since from Gibraltar one feels as if it’s possible to reach out and touch Africa. The Strait, here where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean, narrows to about 14 kilometres. It is remarkable sight; where two continents almost touch.

Barbary Restaurant is Sunborn Gibraltar’s signature dining experience, popular with locals and visitors. The menu brings together the exotic flavours and colours of the Barbary coast with the produce of the Mediterranean. This is Gibraltar, so there are some classic British dishes too. It’s like a microcosm of the fascinating mix of culture in Gibraltar – a comforting, almost nostalgic familiarity juxtaposed with the uniquely Mediterranean setting.

the sunborn yacht hotel gibraltar

It was a real luxury to be able to just head up to deck 7 to enjoy dinner. One can enjoy happy hour drinks at the pool bar and take in the views of Ocean Village marina, and the bay of Algeciras, and then  head up to the restaurant bar to try the special cocktails. I chose the Barbary Tonic, made with Bacur Gin with exotic flavours of ginger, pepper, star anis, cloves and cardamom – it really set the tone for  the meal.

Italian born Executive Chef Mirko Scarabello brings together the flavours of the Mediterranean with dishes that are also prepared on the kitchen’s charcoal Josper grill.

I can highly recommend starting a meal with a sharing selection of Mezze. Even the Arabic bread is homemade; the falafel with black garlic were full of flavour; the hummus was superb; and the smoked aubergine had a colourful and tasty topping of walnuts, pomegranates with labneh and dukkah.

the sunborn yacht hotel gibraltar

Ordering a main course, one can  continue with North Africana and Mediterranean style dishes like lamb skewer, cous course, tagines;  jospered seabass or yoghurt marinated chicken. But I couldn’t resist the British classics and chose the lamb shank with hand cut chips.

The friendly sommelier is on hand to help guests navigate the wine list. I liked how the restaurant always had a few premium, less well-known wines available by the glass. The choice changes daily, so its worth asking. I tried a superb organic verdejo; and then a delicious Ribera del Duero with my lamb.

It was a splendid meal; in a comfortable setting with a view out across the bay. Services was friendly and attentive.

An Evening with Lady Luck

Well we couldn’t resist the opportunity to visit the Casino on deck 2. After all, guests are invited to a drink at the bar and offered a complimentary bet to place. We didn’t have much success at roulette, but it was fun to enjoy the atmosphere. My travelling companion did better at the slots, winning enough to buy a generous lunch in the heart of Gibraltar the next day!

Stylish Ocean Village Location

The vessel is a self-contained resort. One can enjoy cocktails at the Sapphire Bar; live music at La Sala Restaurant; gourmet dining at Barbary Restaurant; top up your tan on deck and work out in the gym. There’s a spa too.

the sunborn yacht hotel gibraltar

What’s more there’s Ocean Village to explore. Ocean Village is a prestigious deep-water marina and leisure area within walking distance to  Gibraltar’s International Airport and the frontier with Spain. This is where Sunborn is permanently moored, providing a floating hotel and casino resort amongst the restaurants, bars and shops of the beautifully designed marina complex.

On the other side of the frontier it is easy to pick up a rental car and explore Andalucia. The championship golf courses, and prestigious polo of Sotogrande, and the glorious beaches of Andalusia’s unspoilt Atlantic coast  are all within 30-45 minutes’ drive.

Business and Pleasure

Internationally, Gibraltar is regarded as an important business centre, with an economy that certainly punches above its weight, thanks to online gaming, offshore finance, and maritime services. Yet visitors are not only business travellers. Gibraltar is also a popular destination for tourism, where travellers can start or end a Mediterranean vacation. In addition, its popular with visitors from Spain looking for a unique short-break get-away that combines tax-free shopping; a generous choice of restaurant and bars; history and culture; as well as outdoor activities.

the sunborn yacht hotel gibraltar

Exploring the Rock

Gibraltar is of course renowned for the Rock, the impressive limestone ridge that defines the identity of Gibraltar. I was already familiar with the shops of the British style main street, so to discover something new, I was really looking forward to taking the vintage cable car to the Upper Rock Nature Reserve.

the sunborn yacht hotel gibraltar

Here we hiked, meeting some of the mischievous macaque monkeys, known locally as Barbary Apes; took in the views from the new glass ‘SkyWalk’; and a stroll cross the Windsor Suspension Bridge. There are UNESCO caves, as well as tunnels dating back to the second world war. It all makes for a very interesting day out.
