A Gay Couple Ghost Town Adventure Bodie California USA – You know, we love adventures off the beaten tracks.

Level Meliá Villaitana Benidorm gay-friendly - It was the first time for us to stay in an adult only resort. We didn’t know what to expect and what the advantages would be until checking in at the Meliá 5-Star Resort build as a traditional Spanish village in the mountains. No children, luxuriously equipped rooms, professional staff and an overall perfectly relaxing atmosphere created a serious holiday feeling just 15 minutes away from the busy skyscraper city center of the Spanish vacation destination Benidorm.
